Description
Your body needs the mineral iodine‚ but it's unable to produce it naturally. This means you have to get all of your iodine through the foods you eat. Unfortunately‚ most fresh foods don’t contain much iodine; in fact‚ foods that do have iodine in them usually have it added during processing. Salt is one food product that has iodine added during processing‚ meaning that sodium and iodine usually go hand in hand. However‚ whether or not they contain enough iodine is a tough question to answer.
Without enough iodine‚ your thyroid gland can't produce the hormones it needs to. When this happens‚ the thyroid gland may become enlarged or cause other serious problems. Since the hormones produced by the thyroid glands are what regulate your metabolic rate‚ an iodine deficiency can affect your cardiovascular health‚ the functioning of nerve and muscle tissue‚ and your weight.
If you aren't getting enough iodine in your diet‚ consider taking a supplement like Heritage’s Atomidine. This liquid provides 600 mcg of iodine trichloride in each serving. Unlike other forms of this mineral‚ this form is made from iodine and chlorine gas and doesn’t contain potassium; this may decrease the chance of potassium overload combined with your diet or other supplements. It has been sold for over 75 years and is popular among some doctors. This supplement may also boost energy‚ support glandular function‚ and promote calcium absorption.
The recommended dosage of Atomidine by Heritage is one drop in a glass of water each morning. Each bottle contains two ounces.
