Iodine is a trace mineral essential for healthy thyroid function, it helps to create the key building blocks for hormones secreted by the thyroid gland. These iodine dependent hormones that are produced by the thyroid control body temperature, physical growth, reproduction, and the growth of skin and hair.
Iodine from Kelp is also an effective treatment for radiation exposure.
The availability of iodized salt, the most common source of iodine, previously made iodine deficiency and goiter rare in the United States, however recent trends away from salt consumption and the switch to sea salt is actually reversing this trend and supplementation is now necessary to help avoid many thyroid problems including goiter from iodine deficiency.
Foods rich in natural iodine include seafood, sea vegetables, kelp, and vegetables grown in iodine-rich soils. Iodine’s only known function is the role it plays in proper thyroid function. Healthy thyroid function is important for normal metabolism, oxygen consumption and energy production.
