3 Introduction Iodine is not just important for the thyroid gland. Although many people, including doctors, believe that the function of iodine is simply to be used by the thyroid to produce hormones. Iodine is present in all our body’s organs and tissues A diet containing sufficient amounts of iodine is necessary to support and maintain whole iodine sufficiency According to the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists there are around 27 million people in the USA with thyroid disorders. About half the cases of thyroid disease are not diagnosed This is due to the vagueness of the symptoms and the fact that thyroid disease is often an underlying factor that promotes various other secondary disorders www.iodoraliodinesupplements.com

Iodine – Essential for Health Iodine is essential to our proper health and functioning, which includes the following important areas: Bones, Brain, Breast, Eyes, Gastrointestinal System, Gonads, Heart Hormones, Immune System, Lungs, Mouth, Ovaries, Skin, Thyroid, Uterus 4 www.iodoraliodinesupplements.com

How Much Iodine is Needed? It is known that thyroid gland and many other tissues in our body need much more iodine than the recommended daily allowance of around 0.125mg. The thyroid gland requires 3-6 mg per day Breast tissue requires 5 mg per day Other tissues in the body require an additional 2 mg per day This is a daily requirement of 10-13 mg per day Iodine is required in all the glands of our endocrine system That amount of iodine is very difficult to obtain through our natural diet and therefore iodine supplements may need to be considered 5 www.iodoraliodinesupplements.com

Research Findings 6 www.iodoraliodinesupplements.com According to Dr. Abraham, one of the leading researchers of iodine, some other roles of iodine in our body include prevention of abnormal heart rhythms, mood regulation, cancer prevention, blood pressure regulation, prevention and treatment of fibrocystic breast disease, regulation of blood sugar, and prevention of diabetes Iodine also enhances our immune system function and has valuable antifungal, antibacterial, antiviral and antiparasitic properties Molecular iodine is absorbed by the body in a different way to iodide. So both forms are important for our health. Dr. Abraham’s research indicates that the thyroid gland favors iodide, and other organs, such as the ovaries and breast, favor iodine in its elemental form.

Recommendation I personally supplement my diet with Iodoral iodine supplements on a daily basis Iodoral was the product of choice for me for the following main reasons: Dosage enables both therapeutic level of usage and ongoing maintenance usage as required. Most other iodine supplements contain only a very small dosage of iodine Contains both iodine and iodide( as potassium iodide) in what I feel are the optimum proportions beneficial for the body. Most other iodine supplements do not contain both these essential forms It is in tablet form rather than liquid form The formula and product is designed by a medical practitioner renowned for his knowledge of iodine, his research and clinical findings on the subject of iodine in sufficient levels to maintain health 7 www.iodoraliodinesupplements.com
