Iodine, the fuel for the thyroid

Unimedica organic iodine capsules provide the recommended daily dose of the essential trace element iodine from a natural source. Iodine contributes to the normal function of the thyroid and is involved in the production of thyroid hormones. In addition, energy metabolism, the nervous system and cognitive function depend on this chemical element, which belongs to the halogens. The skin also benefits from an adequate iodine supply.

Natural iodine

Unimedica organic iodine capsules are manufactured in Germany and contain natural iodine from knotted wrack brown seaweed in a vegan cellulose shell.

Why we need iodine

Iodine plays an important role in normal thyroid function, as the thyroid needs iodine for the production of thyroid hormones. These hormones regulate numerous metabolic processes. Growth, temperature regulation, the nervous system and cognitive function are all linked to them. Iodine also contributes to the maintenance of normal skin.

Foods that contain iodine

Iodine is found in seaweed (e.g. nori), milk and dairy products, eggs, fish and seafood and as an additive in table salt. Small amounts of iodine are also present in cereals, vegetables and fruit.

Organic iodine capsules to supplement a balanced diet

Iodine is an essential nutrient. It must be obtained through the diet, but it should not be taken in excess. This mineral is present in only small amounts in foods. Therefore, for generally healthy people a balanced, preferably wholefood diet and the use of iodised salt are recommended. In certain circumstances iodine requirements may be higher. In that case, supplementation with Unimedica organic iodine capsules may be useful. In any case, it is advisable to have iodine levels in the body checked by a doctor before taking additional supplements. However, the stated daily dose should not be exceeded.

Each daily dose (1 capsule) of Unimedica organic iodine capsules contains 150 µg iodine. This covers the recommended daily requirement of a healthy adult.
