Highly dosed kelp extract containing 300µg iodine per tablet

Iodine and its significance for the health are underestimated up to today. It was similar with vitamin D and vitamin K2 until a few years ago.

Iodine has versatile functions in the organism

Not only the thyroid needs iodine, but other organs as well. In 1920, researchers of the University of Jena, Germany, were able to detect the trace element in the female breast tissue, the ovaries, the brain and the adrenal glands. Unfortunately the research hasn´t been continued in the following years.
Because of a dubious study in 1948, iodine was classified as dangerous for the thyroid function and was nearly banned. At that time, it was even failed to review the underlying facts and the unfortunate assertion was raised to be the standard of conventional medicine. It was only in 2005 that Dr. Guy Abraham was able to prove that an error had occurred back then.

Recently iodine received the scientists´ attention again. Researchers in Germany, India, Italy, the USA and Mexico discovered that numerous organ cells in the body have specific transport mechanisms with which they are able to pump iodine into their inside. Apart from the thyroid cells, the breast glands, the gastrointestinal tract, the ovaries, the prostate, the adrenal glands, parts of the brain and the salivary glands have also respective systems.

What is the daily requirement for iodine?

The WHO and DGE (German Association for Nutrition) recommend 150µg-200µg iodine daily to meet the requirement of the thyroid. For a sufficient supply of the entire body, a higher value is needed, for which none of the institutions have recommendations yet.
