Iodine from kelp – 120 capsules

Iodine is an important nutrient for the human body, especially for the thyroid gland. The thyroid gland produces hormones that are crucial for the body's growth, development and metabolism. The thyroid gland needs iodine to produce these hormones.

In addition to the thyroid gland, other organs in the body also require iodine, such as the mammary glands, the gastric mucosa and the salivary apparatus. Iodine is also thought to play an important role in maintaining a healthy immune system.

A lack of iodine can lead to an underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism), which causes symptoms such as tiredness, weight gain, sensitivity to cold and constipation. In severe cases, iodine deficiency can also lead to goitre formation and intellectual impairment. For this reason, it is important to consume a sufficient amount of iodine through diet or supplements, especially in regions where iodine deficiency is a common problem.
