The Iosol Iodine Quality Difference

Iosol Iodine is a proprietary iodine formulation that has been in widespread use since 1945.

During the production of Iosol, iodine is extracted from kelp and made into pure iodine crystals. This is not potassium iodide, rather it is an unbound form of iodine.

The second form of iodine used is ammonium iodide, a form that readily dissolves in water. These two forms of iodine are combined in a proprietary manner in a base of vegetable glycerin.

WHAT IS IOSOL IODINE?

​Iosol Iodine is a unique form of iodine. It assists formation of thyroid hormone, helps warm up body temperature, and is a protective nutrient.*

Iodine is an essential mineral needed for the formation of thyroid hormone in the thyroid gland. Thyroid hormone is composed of four molecules of iodine and one molecule of the amino acid tyrosine. Scientific evidence clearly shows that a lack of iodine can cause changes to the thyroid gland directly leading to poor function of metabolism and immunity. Iodine deficiency promotes free radical damage in the thyroid gland, directly stressing the health of the gland.*

Free iodine is in high concentration in the ovaries and breast tissue, acting as a protective buffer to estrogen. Adequate tissue iodine helps guide estrogen into friendly pathways that support proper function of female sex hormones.* Iodine also assists the proper function of numerous hormone receptors throughout the body, thus helping hormones in general communicate more efficiently.* The rate that any hormone is formed is governed by thyroid hormone. Thus, thyroid nutrition like Iosol Iodine contributes to the formation of testosterone. In women this supports healthy sex drive. In men, testosterone is vital to function.*

Iodine is also needed to block various toxins from binding to and accumulating in the thyroid gland (fluoride, perchlorate, goitrogens in food).

Ammonium iodine vs. sodium/ and or potassium iodine

The primary function of iodine is to raise the metabolism and restore the electrical balance for all the elements in the body.*
Sodium/and or potassium iodine
Most iodine products on the market today are either sodium and/or potassium iodine. Sodium and/or potassium iodine binds anatomically stronger than with any other element, therefore, the process of digesting and assimilating this combination is very difficult, which can lead to toxic reactions.*
In many cases, products that claim kelp, sea dulse, potassium and/or sodium iodine, contain little of the actual mineral. In fact, the iodine potency is so low it is undetectable in a laboratory test.*
Ammonium iodide and iodine
The portion in IOSOL that is iodine, 43% is ammonium iodide and iodine, 57% is “free iodine.” By the time the IOSOL enters the stomach, the ammonium separates from the iodide and the remainder becomes 100% is “free iodine” which raises the metabolism and restores the electrical balance of the body.*

If taking medication, pregnant, or breastfeeding please consult a licensed healthcare provider before taking this supplement. Vitamin supplements should not replace a balanced diet. Always read the label. Use as directed. If symptoms persist, talk to your health professional.
