Targeted iodine supply

Iodine: Essential for thyroid hormones
The trace element iodine is a component of the thyroid hormones, the trace element iodine plays an important role for the “accelerator” thyroid gland. Numerous bodily functions are controlled by the thyroid via the thyroid hormones. Its hormones do not only influence oxygen and energy consumption in the entire body, they also influence the metabolism of numerous hormones and regulate temperature balance. In addition they control organ development, growth as well as the metabolism of protein and lipids.
Important natural sources of iodine in food are primarily sea fish and other seafood. During pregnancy there is an increased need for the trace element, which is essential for the mental development of the unborn child.
