Product Description: IOD 12.5 High Potency An iodine/potassium iodide formula providing 12.5 mg of elemental iodine per tablet. General InformationIodine is an essential element. Iodine's primary function is to produce thyroid hormones, but other organs in the body also require iodine for normal function. The importance of iodine intake has been proven in several studies. The lower intake limit for iodine identified in these studies is 0.1 mg/kg of body weight per day. For example, a 50 kg woman should consume 5 mg of iodine per day. Iodine is required for normal functioning of the thyroid gland. The first study conducted 80 years ago on female adolescents required them to consume 9 mg of iodine per day. In the early 1900s, an iodine/iodide solution called Lugol's solution was widely used in medical circles and was widely used for treating underactive and overactive thyroid glands. and has been proven to be safe. The recommended daily intake of iodine supplements is 2 to 6 drops of Lugol's solution, which provides a total intake of 12.5 to 37.5 mg of iodide. These amounts were specified in pharmaceutical literature in 1995. Several researchers have provided clear evidence for why adequate iodine intake is necessary. Japanese women living in Japan consume an average of 13.8 mg of iodine per day, and some studies have shown that this intake contributes significantly to their healthy lives. In the 1960s, a slice of bread in the United States contained 0.15 mg of iodine, which is the recommended total nutritional value. In the past 20 years, iodine has been replaced by bromine in baking. Bromine can block thyroid function and inhibit iodine metabolism in the body. Upper and lower recommended nutritional limits for vitamins and minerals were established after World War II. Iodine was one of the last essential elements included in the recommended nutritional intake, which was established in 1980 and finalized in 1989. Iodine nutritional recommendations are based on the amount of iodine/iodide needed to prevent goiter, cretinism, and hypothyroidism. There has been no research on the optimal amount of iodine the human body needs. Therefore, the optimal amount of iodine needed for physical and mental health is unknown. Demographic studies show that people in mainland Japan consume an average of 13.8 mg of iodine per day, making them one of the healthiest populations in the world. Lugol's solution is a substance that has been proven through records for over 150 years. Two drops of Lugol's solution contain 12.5 mg of iodine/iodide, which is very similar to the average intake of 13.8 mg by people in mainland Japan.
