The Importance Of Iodine Derivatives As A Solution To Deficiency

By Stephen Smith


Iodine, as contained in all good iodine supplements, is a trace element that is essential to overall good health. Your thyroid gland, which produces thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3), requires this mineral to work effectively. The hormones produced by the thyroid regulate the bodies overall metabolism and also help in regulating other hormones produced by the body. These hormones help out in the circulatory and nervous systems, support mental and physical growth and may even help prevent hearing loss in children. So, if you have any thyroid related problem, you are most likely going to rely on the iodine derivatives. You need to get your supply from trusted suppliers.

This element was discovered in 1811 by the French chemist Bernard Courtois. It is an essential element for not only the thyroid but for other body tissues as well. The breast actually requires a fair amount of this element to be healthy, and women with fibrocystic breast disease have been shown to have low iodine status. In order for the element to enter the thyroid gland, you must have a healthy transport mechanism which is optimized with vitamin C and magnesium. Twenty-five percent of iodine in the body is stored in the thyroid gland.

Thyroid nodules can form due to the deficiency. Over 95 percent of thyroid nodules are benign and most people will develop a nodule by the time they are fifty. A nuclear thyroid scan can be done to assess if the nodules are "hot" or "cold." Cold nodules should be more thoroughly evaluated as they are the most common type of nodule that are cancerous.

Approximately one-third of the world's population lives in iodine-deficient areas which can lead to thyroid dysfunction and enlargement of the thyroid known as goiter. The recommended daily intake of the element in North America is 150 micrograms.

But even though Graves' Disease is thought to be curable, many people, including myself, have restored their health back to normal through natural treatment methods. So whether you are iodine deficient are not, I highly recommend consulting with a competent natural endocrine doctor to find out if you are a candidate for a natural treatment protocol.

As someone who has suffered from hypothyroidism for many years and didn't realize the link with the element until recently, my first instinct was to get as much iodine as I could... DON'T... As this could leave you very, very dead! Instead, do as recommended and increase your daily intake or purchase a good multi-vitamin from the pharmacist, which contains the RDA.

When we suffer from its allergy, then the body also behaves differently and we should pick it up. This is how we will understand what we are suffering from and what we need to do in the future to recover from it. Sometime the signs are not good enough and we do need some medical test to perform in order to detect the exact problem.

So if your diet does not provide enough elements you need to turn to its supplements which are normally derived from seaweed and available in both capsule, tablet, and liquid forms. Each usually contains about 150mcg and is the preferred form for use in treating low thyroid conditions. For those simply wanting a daily supplement un-standardized kelp is usually adequate. Of course, as usual, consult with your health advisor before taking any kind of supplement.
