Iodine is a trace element that plays a key role in our body. It helps in the proper functioning of the thyroid gland and in the proper production of thyroid hormones (thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3)). It also promotes the proper functioning of the nervous system and helps maintain normal energy metabolism. It is also credited with beneficial effects on the skin.
The largest amounts of iodine are found in seafood (fish, seafood, seaweed). It can also be found in dairy products and eggs, however, the amount of this element is variable and depends on, among other things, its content in the water, soil, or feed that the animal has consumed. In response to widespread iodine deficiencies, iodine fortification of table salt was introduced in Poland in 1997.
Today, iodine deficiencies are no longer as common, however, they can still occur, such as among vegans and people who avoid eating marine fish. It is also worth mentioning that there is an increased need for this element in pregnant and lactating women.
In conclusion, Optimox Iodoral is a dietary supplement containing a high dose of iodine, helping to supplement deficiencies of this element in the diet.
