Optimox Iodoral High Potency Iodine/Potassium Iodide Supplement 12.5 mg - 90 Tablets
Iodine Is Essential For Maintaining Your Health
Iodine is essential to your health, and several studies have demonstrated the need for supplemental Iodine intake, even though it is a trace element in some foods. Iodine is an essential component of your thyroid hormones, thyroxine and triiodothyronine, which regulate important biochemical reactions, among them protein synthesis and metabolic activity. Optimox Iodoral High Potency Iodine/Potassium Iodide supplement promotes healthy thyroid, skin and cellular growth, with just one 12.5mg tablet per day. Each dose supplies total elemental iodine in an amount equal to the average daily intake of iodine by women in mainland Japan, which has a very low prevalence of fibrocystic disease.

Regulating Thyroid Function
Iodine is a critical element in your thyroid hormones thyroxin (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3). Your pituitary gland secretes the thyroid-stimulation hormone (TSH) to control thyroid hormone production and secretion, protecting your body from hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism. In the absence of sufficient iodine, the thyroid-stimulation hormone (TSH) in your body can remain elevated, leading to enlargement of the thyroid gland, which represents your body’s attempt to trap more iodine to produce thyroid hormones. Thyroid hormones also are necessary for development of proper skeletal and central nervous systems in fetuses and infants.
Preventing Iodine Deficiencies
Research indicates that iodine supplements might help with other bodily functions, too. During pregnancy, recommended daily values of iodine increase from 150 mcg/day to 220 mcg/day. Studies have shown that many pregnant women in the United States may get insufficient iodine, and iodine deficiency during pregnancy and infancy can have irreversible effects. Further, research has concluded that Iodine deficiency is the most common cause of preventable mental retardation.
Tablet Vs. Liquid
Optimox provides this supplement in a tablet form because administrating of iodine/iodide in liquid solution is not very accurate, can stain your clothing, has an unpleasant flavor, and can cause gastric distress. So, Iodoral is a precisely measured, easy to swallow tablet form containing 5mg of Iodine and 7.5mg of Iodide, the potassium salt. The tablets are absorbed into a registered colloidal silica, Micoselle, to prevent gastric irritation, and are coated with a thin film of pharmaceutical glaze to eliminate the unpleasant taste.
Suggested Use
Read brochure inside bottle before use. Take one tablet per day or as directed by a physician.
