Description
Even though it's small‚ your thyroid gland can cause a few big problems if it doesn't get enough of the nutrients it needs. The thyroid is a small gland located in your neck that creates hormones responsible for regulating both your growth and metabolism.
Your thyroid gland creates triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4)‚ which are hormones that are responsible for managing how your body utilizes fats and carbohydrates. These hormones may also work to support mental health and fertility‚ as well as growth and development in children.
In some people‚ the thyroid gland doesn't function properly. When it doesn’t produce enough thyroid hormones‚ it’s a condition called hypothyroidism; on the other hand‚ overproduction of these hormones is known as hyperthyroidism. Both of these conditions can lead to you developing a goiter‚ which is a lump in your neck that appears when your thyroid gland becomes enlarged. Other symptoms include trouble sleeping or fatigue.
While problems with your thyroid can be due to a number of factors‚ an iodine deficiency is one cause that can be easily fixed. Your thyroid gland needs iodine to produce hormones‚ making the element extremely important to your overall health. Most whole foods lack significant levels of iodine‚ so you may want to consider enhancing your diet with a supplement.
Organo Iodine Drops by Progressive Labs promotes healthy thyroid functioning with 150 mcg of iodine per serving. The iodine in this liquid supplement is derived from potassium iodide‚ which is a good source of the element.
The recommended dosage of Progressive Labs’ Organo Iodine Drops is two drops mixed with a glass of water‚ once or twice daily.
