Iodine is a trace element that is naturally present in some foods, added to others, and available as a dietary supplement.
Iodine is an essential component of the thyroid hormones thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3). Thyroid hormones regulate many important biochemical reactions, including protein synthesis and enzymatic activity, are critical determinants of metabolic activity, and play a pivotal role in brain development. They are also required for proper skeletal and central nervous system development in fetuses and infants.
Because the body does not make this essential mineral, it can benefit from the iodine effects on the body that comes with taking an iodine supplement, such as MAGNASCENT nascent iodine.
Iodine deficiency prevention begins with ensuring you take the proper amount of iodine daily. The thyroid gland needs iodine to make hormones. If the thyroid doesn’t have enough iodine to do its job, feedback systems in the body cause the thyroid to work harder. This can cause an enlarged thyroid gland (goiter), which becomes evident as a swollen neck.
Other consequences of not having enough iodine (iodine deficiency) are also serious. Iodine deficiency and the resulting low levels of thyroid hormone can cause women to stop ovulating, leading to infertility.
Nascent iodine is a consumable iodine when it’s in an atomic form. This means that as a nutritional supplement, nascent iodine provides the ideal amount of iodine to the body that can be absorbed rapidly.
