The key role of iodine: importance for thyroid, metabolism and health

Iodine is a trace element that primarily regulates the thyroid gland and its hormones. Iodine is essential for life and must be regularly supplied to the body to maintain certain functions. Our body needs iodine to produce the thyroid hormones thyroxine and triiodothyronine. These regulate our growth, bone formation, brain development, and energy metabolism. Up to 80% of the iodine we ingest is used up by our thyroid gland. Furthermore, all of our organs require iodine to maintain their functions.

Because agricultural products contain little iodine due to low iodine levels in the soil, natural sources are often insufficient to ensure an adequate iodine supply in Germany. Since the 1980s, the use of iodized table salt has been recommended. This recommendation, along with the addition of iodine as a feed additive in dairy products, has improved iodine intake. However, current data show that the population's iodine supply is still suboptimal and may even be declining. The Federal Institute for Risk Assessment (BfR) emphasizes the need for sustainable measures to ensure an adequate iodine supply in the German population.

Our high-quality iodine drops contribute to normal thyroid function and normal energy metabolism. They also contribute to normal nervous system function and normal cognitive function.

Symptoms of iodine deficiency and who should take iodine

Iodine deficiency can lead to various health problems, and it's important to detect symptoms early. Possible symptoms of iodine deficiency include:

  • fatigue
  • Weight gain
  • dry skin
  • Hair loss
  • Sensitivity to cold
  • Muscle cramps mental impairments
  • Difficulty concentrating

Adequate iodine intake is particularly important during pregnancy and breastfeeding, as a deficiency during this phase can have serious consequences for the development of the fetus or breastfed infant. It is recommended that individuals living in areas with low soil iodine levels or following a vegetarian or vegan diet pay particular attention to their iodine intake. Pregnant women, breastfeeding mothers, and individuals who consume few or no iodine-rich foods may want to consider iodine supplements in consultation with their physician to ensure adequate intake. Regular iodine status checks can also be helpful in detecting potential deficiencies early and taking appropriate measures.

Where is iodine found?

The concentration of iodine in soil and water can fluctuate considerably, leading to varying levels in animal and plant foods. Marine fish, seafood, seaweed, and certain mineral waters are considered rich sources of iodine. In animals fed iodine-enriched feed, significant amounts of iodine are also found in meat, eggs, milk, and dairy products. In comparison, plant foods tend to have lower iodine levels.

Iodine during pregnancy and breastfeeding

The importance of iodine during pregnancy and breastfeeding cannot be overemphasized. During pregnancy, iodine plays a crucial role in the development of the fetal nervous system, especially in the first trimester. Iodine deficiency during this sensitive period can lead to impaired cognitive development in the fetus.

The importance of iodine continues during breastfeeding, as it is passed on to the breastfed infant through breast milk. Adequate iodine intake in the mother is therefore essential for optimal nervous system development and the overall health of the infant.

Breastfeeding women have an increased need for iodine, as they must not only meet their own needs but also provide iodine for their breastfed baby. Iodine-rich foods or iodine supplements can help ensure that both the mother and the breastfed baby are adequately supplied with this vital mineral. Regular monitoring of iodine status and, if necessary, consultation with a doctor are especially recommended during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

The recommended dosage of iodine varies depending on the life situation

The daily recommended iodine intake varies depending on age group and life situation. For adults aged 25 to under 51 years, the recommended intake according to the DA-CH reference valuesin Austria and Germany at 200 µg iodine and at 150 µg iodine in Switzerland.Pregnant women are recommended to consume 230 µg of iodine daily in Austria and Germany and 200 µg in Switzerland. Breastfeeding women are advised to consume 260 µg of iodine daily in Austria and Germany and 200 µg in Switzerland. These guidelines serve as a guideline to ensure adequate iodine intake at different stages of life.

Comparison: Lugol's solution and iodine drops from SinoPlaSan

Lugol's solution, also called Lugol's iodine, is a brown liquid containing elemental iodine and potassium iodide dissolved in water. Lugol's solution is widely used as a disinfectant and as a stain for biological and medical purposes. Due to the elemental iodine it contains, it has antiseptic properties. Lugol's solution is also used to detect starch, as it reacts with starch molecules to produce a characteristic blue-black color.

In medicine, Lugol's solution has historically been used to treat iodine deficiency and thyroid disorders. It has also been used to prepare patients for thyroid surgery by reducing the size and vasculature of the thyroid. It is important to note that although Lugol's solution has been used in various medical applications, it is nowis no longer approved for oral use!Due to the extremely high iodine concentration in just one drop, there is a high risk of overdose. This can result in serious thyroid dysfunction. Because Lugol's solution is not approved for oral use, its manufacturing is subject to minimal quality assurance requirements.
