Iodine

Iodine is incorporated into the thyroid hormones T3 and T4. These hormones help regulate the body's metabolic activity, growth and energy use.

• Scientific identity: Iodine; uptake mechanism: Sodium-iodide symporter (NIS).
• How it works: Absorbed as iodide: Dietary iodine is taken up almost completely from the small intestine and enters circulation as iodide. Concentrated by the thyroid: A dedicated transporter pulls iodide into the gland, which holds most of the body's fifteen to twenty milligrams.
• Primary function: It contributes to normal thyroid function, energy metabolism and nervous-system development.
• What it supports: Iodine supplies an essential building block for thyroid hormones, helping support normal metabolism and daily energy regulation.
• Important consideration: The elemental mineral amount is more meaningful than the weight of its source compound.

CARPEDIEM selected Iodine for a clearly defined role within a thoughtfully balanced formulation.

• Formulation purpose: It contributes to normal thyroid function, energy metabolism and nervous-system development.
• Used in: CARPEDIEM MultiTeen, CARPEDIEM MultiWomen and CARPEDIEM MultiMen.
• Works alongside: Iodine complements Selenium, Zinc and Iron to support balanced daily mineral nutrition.
• Meaningful contribution: Iodine supplies an essential building block for thyroid hormones, helping support normal metabolism and daily energy regulation. Supports normal nervous-system activity and recognised cognitive function.
• Quality and scientific context: The elemental mineral amount is more meaningful than the weight of its source compound. Research is shown only when an ingredient-specific study demonstrates a relevant benefit.
