Iodine: supports the thyroid

Iodine is an essential trace element, which has to be taken in through food on a regular basis. Algae, salt-water fish, fish products and seafood are good sources of iodine.

Iodine is mostly needed by the thyroid, because it is only able to form thyroid hormones with iodine. Both thyroid hormones thyroxine (T4 or tetra-iodothyronine) and triiodothyronine (T3) contain 4 or 3 iodine atoms per molecule.

T4 and T3 control the basal metabolic rate of the organism

Without thyroid hormones, life would not be possible. They are involved in numerous essential processes in the metabolism, especially the growth of cells and tissues. The male and female fertility, the development of the unborn child and the mental well-being are linked to the thyroid function.

The trace element iodine is able to support the goal weight

Excess pounds stubbornly remain on your hips despite all the effort you make to get rid of them? Often times it’s the thyroid’s fault, because it produces hormones by means of iodine, which regulate the metabolism. Iodine is involved in the energy generation of the body. An insufficient supply with iodine can cause a lack of motivation, energy deficiency and weight gain, because the body uses less of the ingested calories to generate energy. The organism slows down significantly and excess calories are stored as fat.
