Discover the Powerful Benefits of Iodine: Essential for a Healthy Body

Iodine is a vital element that plays a crucial role in the production of thyroid hormones by the thyroid gland. But did you know that other organs in your body also rely on iodine to function properly?

Numerous studies have linked low iodine intake to fibrocystic disease of the breast (FDB) in both women and laboratory animals. To control and prevent FDB, it is recommended to consume a minimum of 0.1mg/kg body weight/day of iodine. For example, a 50 kg woman should aim for a daily intake of 5 mg.

Iodine is not only important for breast health, but also for the proper functioning of the thyroid gland. In fact, a pioneering study conducted 80 years ago found that daily consumption of 9 mg of iodide helped control goiter in adolescent girls.

Back in the early 1900s, Lugol solution, a powerful iodine/iodide solution, was widely and safely used in medical practice to address thyroid gland issues. It was recommended to take 2 to 6 drops of Lugol solution, containing 12.5 to 37.5 mg of total iodide, as a daily iodine supplement. This information was even mentioned in a pharmaceutical science book published in 1995.

The connection between inadequate iodine intake and breast cancer has also been extensively studied. Japanese women, who have one of the lowest risks of breast, ovarian, and uterine cancer, consume an average of 13.8 mg of total elemental iodine daily. It is worth noting that in the 1960s, a single slice of bread in the US contained the recommended daily amount of iodine. However, iodine has since been replaced by bromine in bread production, leading to a higher risk of breast cancer (currently 1 in 8) that continues to increase by 1% per year.

Interestingly, the Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) for iodine was established in 1980 based on preventing goiter, extreme stupidity, and hypothyroidism. However, the optimal requirement of iodine for overall physical and mental well-being remains unknown. It is worth mentioning that the mainland Japanese, who consume an average of 13.8 mg of iodine daily, are known for their excellent health.

If you're looking for a trusted and time-tested solution, Lugol solution has been used for over 150 years and contains 12.5 mg of iodine/iodide in just two drops, very close to the average intake of mainland Japanese individuals.
