Iodine deficiency is becoming widespread, so too are thyroid problems.
An easy way to find out if your iodine level is low is to get a tincture of iodine. Put 3 drops anywhere on the inner arm, rubbing them in with the dropper. If the patch fades within a few hours it means there is a deficiency. Alternatively, have a blood test.
Iodine is vital for the thyroid, so too is selenium, both of these nutrients are low in our diets. Tyrosine is vital for the thyroid as a combo of this and iodine make up the two thyroid hormones T3 and T4. The conversion needs selenium.
If an iodine deficiency is found, please take iodine drops. I recommend Lugol's 5%. Start off slowly, one drop at a time. You have to find what suits you. I personally take 4 drops per day and I do not have a thyroid problem. I believe that because I have maintained my thyroid for years, that I do not have issues and do not require meds. Selenium - 2000mcg and Tyrosine 500mg per day is needed. Stop the Thyroid Madness website - see References and their Facebook page are provides excellent information.
NOTE: It is important to look after your thyroid. Iodine, selenium, vitamin D3, vitamin C and tyrosine are vital.
