Organic iodine 100 capsules Vitals

Product description

Iodine occurs in nature mainly in the sea. On land, the amount of iodine is distributed very unevenly. The best natural food sources of iodine are therefore all products that come from the sea, such as fish, crustaceans and shellfish and seaweed. Iodine Organic comes from organic knotweed that is a naturally rich source of iodine. The product is standardized to contain 150 mcg of iodine per capsule. Quality The seaweed species used in Organic Iodine is clubweed (Ascophyllum nodosum). It is produced organically and sustainably from the clean seas around the Hebrides (a group of islands off the west coast of Scotland) by producer Seaweed & Co. After harvesting, the seaweed is processed using a patented production method that keeps the original nutritional value of the seaweed intact. In addition, each batch is analyzed for iodine content and purity to ensure it meets the highest quality standards. The iodine content in seaweed can vary widely. Both an iodine content that is too low or too high is undesirable and it is therefore important to choose a seaweed product where the content is repeatedly determined. Moreover, Seaweed & Co is the only seaweed producer in the world to supply DNA Authenticated Seaweed™, whereby the origin and high quality of their specific knotweed is confirmed by means of DNA testing by an external party. This iodine product is a whole food and not an extract. The capsule contains the 'whole' clubweed with, in addition to iodine, also traces of other naturally occurring minerals. The knotweed is certified organic on the basis of the quality of the water and the degree of sustainability of the cultivation techniques. The water is routinely analysed. An important part of the sustainable cultivation technique is that only the upper part of the seaweed plant is used. The entire plant is therefore not removed, which prevents that nothing grows after 2 to 4 years. This is additionally monitored and controlled by the Crown Estate Scottish Environmental Protection Agency and the Scottish Natural Heritage. How iodine works in the body Iodine is an essential trace element that plays an important role in thyroid function and is necessary for the production of thyroid hormones. Via these hormones (thyroxine/T4 and tri-iodothyronine/T3), iodine contributes to normal energy metabolism, partly by supporting the activity of certain enzymes involved in the release of energy from fats, carbohydrates and proteins. Also, by supporting the functioning of the thyroid gland, iodine contributes to normal cognitive function (such as memory, concentration and learning ability). Finally, iodine is important for the nervous system and the skin. Organic The active ingredients of organic food supplements are guaranteed to be of natural origin and not synthetically manufactured.
