Why take Nutri&Co Iodine? Choosing an iodine supplement often means choosing between a precise dosage AND a natural origin. Thanks to our high-quality PureSea® extract, we have managed to offer a standardised algae extract that guarantees the right dose. Iodine, the key nutrient for the thyroid √ Iodine is essential for the production of thyroid hormones , which control many of our metabolic mechanisms. An iodine deficiency can lead to hypothyroidism, and conversely, an excess can lead to hyperthyroidism. I t is therefore essential to have adequate intake on a daily basis to maintain a healthy thyroid . A natural AND standardised extract √ Iodine supplements are mostly in the form of potassium iodide, derived from the reaction between iodine and potassium hydroxide. For a natural source , you need to turn to algae extracts naturally rich in iodine. Unfortunately, these are generally only assayed for a minimum content, which guarantees a minimum intake but no upper limit, creating a risk of overdosing . √ PureSea® extract derived from the seaweed Ascophyllum nodosum is one of the rare natural extracts to be standardised, thus guaranteeing a constant content . PureSea® iodine is absorbed more slowly than potassium iodide, helping to avoid the peak and urinary losses seen with the latter. With 150 µg of iodine per capsule, you thus obtain 100% of the recommended intake.
