Why use Iodine Forte?
Iodine supplements can offer a huge range of health benefits, as you may know. Iodine Forte contains everything you need to aid the normal function of one of the master glands in your body - the thyroid gland (1,2). An under-active thyroid gland can result in tiredness, weight gain, depression and muscle aches. So we have formulated a product that contains nutrients that have been shown to aid in the functioning of the thyroid gland.
T4 (which is the inactive form of the thyroid hormone) is converted into T3 (the active form) which will only happen if selenium, iodine & tyrosine are all present, and since this product contains a natural source of kelp (which is naturally rich in iodine), tyrosine and selenium (and also added vitamin C) it ultimately makes this is a powerful product to maintain a healthy thyroid (1,2).
Having your thyroid functioning normally can help you maintain a healthy metabolism(4), immune system (3) and reduce any tiredness & fatigue (5).
Key Benefits of Iodine Forte
Iodine is an element that is naturally found in seawater (making sea fish & shellfish a good source of iodine) and some types of soil (resulting in being found in some grains). The human body does not make iodine, so it's essential to have it as a part of your daily diet since iodine helps contribute to normal thyroid function (1),(2) and production of thyroid hormones(1),(2).
These hormones help to keep cells and the metabolic rate healthy and many other important functions, such as maintaining healthy skin(6), supporting the normal cognitive(7) and neurological function(8) as well. If you do not have enough iodine in your body, you cannot make enough thyroid hormone. Thus, iodine deficiency can lead to enlargement of the thyroid (goitre) and hypothyroidism, which can lead to other serious health consequences.

Manganese
This mineral naturally occurs in our bodies in very small amounts. This mineral acts as a co-enzyme to assist metabolic activity in the human body. Manganese is also very important for the formation of connective tissues (9)and metabolism (4).
Tyrosine
Tyrosine is a precursor to many hormones as it can be converted into key physiological compounds including epinephrine, levodopa, Coenzyme Q10, melanin and various thyroid hormones.
Selenium
This is an essential mineral and even though people only need a very small amount, it plays a key role in the body to make sure our immune system(3) and thyroid function(1),(2) are functioning correctly.
Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid)
Vitamin C is necessary for the growth, development and repair of all body tissues. It's involved in many body functions, including the formation of collagen, absorption of iron, the immune system(3), the maintenance of cartilage(10), bones(11) and teeth(12).
Gugulipid
Gugulipid (sometimes known as guggul) is extracted from the sticky resinous sap secreted from the bark of the Commiphora tree. It has long been supplemented by those looking to improve thyroid function.
Ashwagandha
“Ashwagandha” is Sanskrit for “smell of the horse,” which refers to both its unique smell. Studies have focused on its potential effects on stress and anxiety, strength, and athletic performance.

This high-strength iodine supplement is great for both males and females of any ages or level activity. It's ideally for those that have diets deficient in essential thyroid nutrients such as iodine, selenium and/or tyrosine, and are wanting to maintain a healthy thyroid gland (1),(2).
