By Phyllis Schroeder


There are so many different types of minerals and supplements that your whole body requires for effective functioning. You can get most from your diet but some individuals have a hard time doing this and take daily doses of lugols iodine. This element is necessary for the body to help with strong thyroid function. This mixture is made of potassium iodide, distilled water, and iodine.

This supplement can be taken in various dosages and strengths of 1%, 2%, 3 %, or even 5%, depending on the main reason for taking this substance. For regular supplements, one very small amount is necessary (1.45 mg). If a doctor suggests or prescribes it, more may need to be ingested per his directions.

A person in the United States cannot purchase stronger versions of this substance. The most potent types that used to be available have been linked to the maintenance and production of local meth labs and now cannot be bought over the counter.

If you take too much, it can be extremely harmful to your overall health. You could end up with hypothyroidism or even worse so it is very important that you take this under a physician's guidance and supervision. You may wish to request a test to see if you are deficient in this supplement and then you know if you really need to take it or just need to eat more of the foods high in this element.

Those individuals who do not get enough of this in their diet may be subjected to a variety of illnesses and afflictions including goiters, hypothyroidism, depression, lethargy, high cholesterol, weight gain, allergies, eczema, dry skin, slowed fetal brain development, and cretinism. According to some professionals, it can be taken to combat colds, the flu, bronchitis, food poisoning, stomach upsets, gas, and even stress.

Many believe that a regular diet with salt will keep this deficiency at bay. Table salt does have iodine added to it and it has been for added for years but the chlorine in the same salt can counteract the effects of the dosage. Vegetarians are especially prone to deficiencies and should consult with their doctor as to taking supplements.

Foods that can be consumed to help supply the body with at least the minimum daily requirements include spinach, any kind of seafood, eggs, turkey, carrots, cabbage, Brussel sprouts, tomatoes, mushrooms, and baked potatoes. If you add as many of these into your diet as you can, it will reduce the need to take additional supplements.

Analyze your need for this necessary ingredient and try to gain as much of it from your diet as possible. If you feel that you are deficient in this element, consult your doctor and he will prescribe the correct supplements for you in the correct dosages. If it is what is missing in your diet, your symptoms should be begin to disappear and your body on the right track within just a few days. You will have much more energy and feel that you can take on anything.
