Iodine drops - 150 µg per daily dose - vegan - 50 ml

Iodine - a vital trace element with many roles

Iodine is an essential trace element that the body cannot produce itself. It must therefore be supplied regularly through the diet. Iodine is known to support thyroid function and the maintenance of normal skin. It is also important for energy metabolism, cognitive function and the nervous system. Insufficient iodine can negatively affect mental performance. In liquid form, iodine can be accurately dosed and taken easily.

What are the iodine drops made of?

Unimedica Iodine Drops contain only iodine in the form of potassium iodide, dissolved in purified water. They are free from other additives and are vegan.

Indispensable for normal thyroid function

Iodine contributes to the normal functioning of the thyroid. It is essential for the body's production of the thyroid hormones thyroxine and triiodothyronine. Through the thyroid and its hormones, iodine helps regulate metabolism and the cardiovascular system.

Natural sources of iodine are scarce

Iodine is added to table salt and is found in eggs, milk and dairy products, but especially in marine fish and seafood. The iodine content of seaweed is, for many, far too high. With iodine, more is not necessarily better — the correct dose matters. More than 500 µg of iodine daily is not recommended. Both too little and too much iodine can harm thyroid function.

Why our food contains too little iodine

Soils and drinking water in Europe are naturally low in iodine. This means that plant-based foods contain only small amounts of iodine. Since the 1980s, iodine has therefore been added to foods such as salt and to animal feed. Iodised table salt is, however, slightly more expensive than plain salt, representing an additional cost for the food industry. As a result, its use has become more conservative.

When supplementary iodine intake may be appropriate

It is not possible to achieve an individually tailored dosage for everyone. For these reasons, targeted supplementation with Unimedica Iodine Drops can be helpful in cases of increased iodine requirements, confirmed deficiency or a strictly vegan diet. A daily dose (5 drops) of Unimedica Iodine Drops provides the body with exactly the recommended daily intake of 150 µg of iodine.
