Iodine capsules as a dietary supplement
The HEALTH+ iodine capsules contain 200 mcg (micrograms) of iodine from potassium iodide (also known as potassium iodide) per capsule. This covers 100% of the daily requirement and effectively prevents a health-threatening iodine deficiency. As a dietary supplement, they supply the body with this important trace element without which the thyroid cannot function normally. Numerous other bodily functions and metabolic processes also depend on the body's sufficient supply of iodine. A dietary supplement with iodine capsules or potassium iodide therefore helps to prevent an undersupply or to treat an iodine deficiency.

Counteracting iodine deficiency
Since the side effects and consequences of an iodine deficiency often only become apparent years or decades later, an undersupply of the vital trace element is often not even recognized - although it is omnipresent. Around a third of Germans have a so-called mild iodine deficiency (grade I), which can usually be compensated for by a diet containing iodine and iodized table salt. But this is not always enough to provide the body with enough iodine. Unbalanced eating habits and an increased need, such as that experienced by pregnant and breastfeeding women, make it difficult to meet daily needs and make dietary supplementation with potassium iodide capsules sensible. Athletes also have an increased need for iodine due to their increased metabolism and heavy sweating and should prevent an iodine deficiency with the help of a dietary supplement.

Why is iodine important?

Together with the amino acid L-tyrosine, iodine is an essential trace element involved in the production of the metabolism-regulating thyroid hormones thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3) and thus contributes to healthy thyroid function. Without iodine, the thyroid stops working and illnesses such as hypothyroidism or an enlarged thyroid (goiter) as well as impaired growth or reduced fertility can be the consequences. If the body lacks the iodine-containing thyroid hormones due to an iodine deficiency, all metabolic processes and thus also energy metabolism can be impaired. To counteract this, iodine capsules are often combined with the thyroid hormone thyroxine in tablet form as part of the treatment of a thyroid disorder.

However, an adequate supply of iodine also has a positive effect on the nervous system, cognitive function and performance, as well as the psyche. Potassium iodide can also prevent the absorption of radioactive iodine into the organism and is therefore administered after accidents involving radioactive substances to prevent anything worse from happening.

Anyone who wants to ensure that their body is provided with sufficient potassium iodide can do this with the help of HEALTH+ iodine capsules. Just one capsule a day covers the normal daily requirement.
