Iodine is a vital trace element for health. It plays an important role in the physiological processes that take place in the body. Most people only think about the function of the thyroid gland, but its effects are much more diverse than that. Among other things, it contributes to the maintenance of normal mental functioning, participates in normal energy-producing metabolic processes, contributes to the normal functioning of the nervous system, and we could even list. Unfortunately, about 80% of the territory of Hungary is iodine deficient, so it is especially important to pay attention to proper iodine supplementation. The daily dose of Vitaking Iodine tablets contains 600µg of iodine (123mg from Sea Kelp)

The treasure of the sea

Sea Kelp contains more than 50 trace elements present in the seas, which is perhaps the most balanced source of trace elements in the world. Of the trace elements, the iodine content is also the most significant.

Why are trace elements needed at all?

This is the weakest link theory. It can be any strong chain, it will break where there is a weak eye. For nutrition, this applies to the fact that if there are 100 nutrients that lack can cause problems in the body, we will eat 99 in vain in sufficient quantities. A complete lack of a single vitamin , mineral, or trace element can be just as problematic as eating half of it.

The seaweed tablet contains a large amount of iodine.

Iodine is known by many to be a component of thyroid hormones. Normally, an adult has about 15-20 mg of iodine in their body. It plays an important role in maintaining the healthy functioning of the thyroid gland as it is an essential component of the hormone it produces. The thyroid gland regulates the metabolism of cells to see how quickly and with what efficiency the energy-giving molecules are used. Iodine deficiency reduces the physical and mental performance of the body.

Sea Kelp contains significant amounts of natural iodine!

Iodine is especially needed for the following functions:

• It contributes to the maintenance of normal mental functioning.
• Participates in normal energy-producing metabolic processes.
• It contributes to the normal functioning of the nervous system.
• It also helps maintain the normal condition of the skin, nails and hair.
• Iodine contributes to the normal production of thyroid hormones and the normal functioning of the thyroid gland.
• Regulates metabolism.

Iodine absorption depends on the body's iodine saturation. Its absorption is negatively affected by quite a few plants, including kale, head cabbage, radish, brussels sprouts. However, the goitrogens in them (naturally occurring compounds that inhibit the production of thyroid hormones) are sensitive to high heat, so if consumed, it is worth consuming these plants cooked.

In addition, it is also affected by fluoride and nitrate (toothpastes, industrial meat products), both of which inhibit it.

Seaweed is an excellent source of natural iodine. The daily dose of Vitaking Iodine tablets (4 tablets) contains 600µg of iodine (123mg from Sea Kelp)
