Energybalance Organic Iodine + NutriSelenium

Iodine and selenium yeast with barley grass contains natural iodine for the thyroid gland. The body's iodine requirement is mainly determined by the formation of thyroid hormones, which vary depending on age and metabolic status. Adults need around 200 micrograms a day, while pregnant women and breastfeeding mothers have a higher requirement.

The body needs iodine for the thyroid gland, which is located in the front of the throat directly below the larynx. Without the thyroid gland, metabolism functions only to a limited extent. Iodine regulates brain development, heart rhythm, metabolism and blood pressure via the thyroid hormones triiodothyronine and thyroxine.

If the body is not regularly supplied with iodine, metabolic problems and other diseases can occur. Signs of iodine deficiency include constant tiredness, lack of vigour or dry skin. As a result, a goitre can develop as hormone production no longer functions properly and not enough thyroxine is produced.
