Lugol's Iodine from Mother Earth Labs is a dietary supplement in the form of capsules. Iodine is an essential element that the body needs in order to function properly. It is found in many foods, but the body cannot make it, so we have to get it from our diet or supplements.
Iodine is important for many different things, including:
- Making thyroid hormones
- Regulating metabolism
- Supporting cognitive function and energy levels
- Maintaining healthy skin, hair, and nails
- Detoxifying the body
If you don't get enough iodine, you may develop a condition called iodine deficiency disorder (IDD). IDD can cause a range of problems, including goiters (enlarged thyroid gland), mental retardation, and infertility. In severe cases, it can even be fatal.
Iodine deficiency is a global health problem that can lead to serious health consequences including preventable mental retardation.
