Iodine's Role in the Body

Iodine is an essential mineral that plays a vital role in maintaining good health. It is a trace element, meaning that the body only requires a small amount of it to function properly. Iodine is necessary for the production of thyroid hormones, which help regulate metabolism, growth and development. It also helps to support the nervous system, as well as maintaining healthy skin, hair, and nails. Additionally, iodine is essential for the proper functioning of the immune system and cognitive development. Discover our high-quality, water-soluble Iosol iodine.
