Most people get enough iodine from their food, but some people do struggle to maintain their levels. They include: 7

or 5 drops in water. I drink this twice a week and I have not had a cold or 'flu in 45 years. Your Thyroid gland uses this to fight infection. It is 100% effective as natures best It is also essential that you don’t drink an excessive amount of fluids for 24 hours before the test as this may affect the result. 29 It is well established that the Iodine content of the thyroid gland is dependent upon the Iodine available in the food and water intake of the individual. If the Iodine intake is low, the gland is deprived of the element it needs to do its work.

Lugol's iodine may also be used as an oxidizing germicide, however it is somewhat undesirable in that it may lead to scarring and discolors the skin temporarily. One way to avoid this problem is by using a solution of 70% ethanol to wash off the iodine later. Interestingly, there is often an increase in body odour for the first two weeks (which probably represents excretion of toxins) and some patients have cloudy urine for several months. Potassium iodide renders the elementary iodine soluble in water through the formation of the triiodide ( I −

Not only does Iodine play an important role in the brain, it also contributes to the normal production of thyroid hormones and normal thyroid function. Supplied in an amber glass bottle with durable rubber pipette.

Synthesis of oxytocin using iodine for oxidative cyclization and silica gel adsorption chromatography for purificationPatients feel warmer, they seem to need less sleep, their bowel action becomes more regular and their skin complexion improves. A drop in iodine levels can result in the body not being able to produce enough thyroid hormones, which can then impact cell health, as well as metabolism. Summary Lugol's iodine, also known as Lugol's liquid, is a solution of elemental iodine and potassium iodide in water. Lugol's iodine solution is often used as an antiseptic and disinfectant, for emergency disinfection of drinking water, and as a reagent to detect starch in routine laboratory and medical tests. These applications are possible because the solution is a source of effectively free elemental iodine which is readily generated from the equilibrium between elemental iodine molecules and the triiodide ion in the solution.

Pp 131-135 It is quite likely that your NHS GP will not do a test because the Department of Health advisers state that you should be able to get all the iodine you need by eating a varied and balanced diet. 34Dr Mark Vanderpump, one of the authors of the research article on iodine states, ‘One cup of milk contains about half the amount of iodine needed per day. A possible explanation for our findings may be that teenage girls are drinking less milk and are less likely to have milk and cereal for breakfast. The solution could be to add iodine to the salt used in products such as bread as has been done in for example Denmark.’ The same could be said of young children who are not now given free milk at school and adults, who think that drinking milk is fattening. It can be used as a cell stain, making the cell nuclei more visible and for preserving phytoplankton samples. Hawkins PR, Holliday J, Kathuria A, Bowling L (2005). "Change in cyanobacterial biovolume due to preservation by Lugol's Iodine". Harmful Algae. 4 (6): 1033–1043. doi: 10.1016/j.hal.2005.03.001. The richest food sources of iodine are fish, milk and dairy products. When it comes to fish, white fish contains more iodine than oily fish. Iodine contributes to the normal production of thyroid hormones and normal thyroid function, is important for visual function and eye moisture and may contribute to preserve healthy hair, nails and skin as well as the normal functioning of the nervous system, cognitive function and metabolism.

Changes in Dietary Iodine Explains Increasing Incidence of Breast Cancer with Distand Involvement in Young WomenA 2011 study of the iodine status of 14 to 15-year-old school girls in the UK concluded that the UK, like Australia and the USA, is now iodine-deficient. 10,11 Young women of childbearing age are the group most susceptible to the adverse effects of iodine deficiency. Nearly 70% of the samples were below 100ug/L and 18% of samples showed very low iodine levels below 50μg/L. The researchers considered this finding to be of huge public health importance since mild iodine deficiency impairs cognition in children and severe iodine deficiency reduces IQ by 10 to 15 points.
