Iodine 250 capsules: Pregnancy & Breastfeeding
Iodine is an important mineral that helps your body produce thyroid hormones. Your thyroid needs iodine to produce the hormones that control your metabolism and many other important functions in your body.
If you don't get enough iodine or your body can't use it properly, you may not be able to produce enough of these hormones for good health. This condition is called hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid).
An underactive thyroid can cause problems such as weight gain, fatigue, dry skin and hair loss, as well as depression and memory problems.
The most common form of treatment is taking a pill containing the synthetic hormone thyroxine, which replaces the natural deficiency, but also has side effects such as heart palpitations, anxiety, etc.
Iodine deficiency also leads to goiter (enlarged thyroid gland), which makes swallowing difficult because food does not have enough space to pass through the throat when the enlarged glands press against it from below.
Our iodine preparation is made from Norwegian brown or kelp and is 100% natural, causing no side effects.
