Lugols Iodine Supplements For Optimal Health

By Phyllis Schroeder


There are so many different types of minerals and supplements that your whole body requires for effective functioning. You can get most from your diet but some individuals have a hard time doing this and take daily doses of lugols iodine. This element is necessary for the body to help with strong thyroid function. This mixture is made of potassium iodide, distilled water, and iodine.

It is available in various strengths and can be taken at various doses depending on the reason for ingesting it. It only takes a very small amount of this element to avoid any type of deficiency. If it is just to supplement a diet, then the dose is relatively small as in a small drop (1.45 mg). If it is used for a medical reason, more of this substance may have to be taken per a physician's directions.

A person in the United States cannot purchase stronger versions of this substance. The most potent types that used to be available have been linked to the maintenance and production of local meth labs and now cannot be bought over the counter.

Taking too much can be very detrimental to your overall health. The thyroid is very small but it affects all parts of the body. Deficiencies could result in hypothyroidism and other severe issues. Always seek a doctor's counsel before taking these types of supplements. Ask for testing to determine the levels you may or may not need.

The maladies and illnesses that come with a deficiency in this substance can include goiters, depression, high cholesterol, allergies, eczema, decreased fetal brain development, lethargy, weight gain, dry skin, and cretinism. Some professionals believe that its restorative benefits include the ability to fight colds, bronchitis, the flu, stomach upsets, food poisoning, stress and even gas.

Many believe that a regular diet with salt will keep this deficiency at bay. Table salt does have iodine added to it and it has been for added for years but the chlorine in the same salt can counteract the effects of the dosage. Vegetarians are especially prone to deficiencies and should consult with their doctor as to taking supplements.

Foods that can be consumed to help supply the body with at least the minimum daily requirements include spinach, any kind of seafood, eggs, turkey, carrots, cabbage, Brussel sprouts, tomatoes, mushrooms, and baked potatoes. If you add as many of these into your diet as you can, it will reduce the need to take additional supplements.

Analyze your need for this necessary ingredient and try to gain as much of it from your diet as possible. If you feel that you are deficient in this element, consult your doctor and he will prescribe the correct supplements for you in the correct dosages. If it is what is missing in your diet, your symptoms should be begin to disappear and your body on the right track within just a few days. You will have much more energy and feel that you can take on anything.
