A formulation providing a well tolerated source of selenium and other nutrients. Prepared solely from pure, high-mineral kelp. Contains traces of selenium, potassium, iron, phosphorus, magnesium, calcium, copper, silicon, zinc, manganese, vanadium, cobalt and boron, provided by the kelp. Originally formulated for persons who are initially unable to tolerate Selenium Solution.
Iodine
Iodine is a trace element required in the diet for several physiological functions. Iodine deficiency is a world-wide problem and is associated with numerous health conditions such as hypothyroidism, an enlarged thyroid called a goiter, congenital hypothyroidism known as cretinism, cognitive disorders, neurological disorders, and breast disease.
Iodine is incorporated into thyroid hormone precursors, which further combine to form the thyroid hormones thyroxine (T4) and triiodthyronine (T3). An enlarged thyroid, or goiter, is the most overt sign of iodine deficiency. Hypothyroidism due to iodine deficiency presents with a decrease in thyroid hormones as well as decreased thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH).
Iodine deficiency can be caused by several factors such as low levels of iodine in the soil or water in particular areas and ingestion of large amounts of goitrogens (substances that block iodine absorption and inhibit the thyroid gland). Common goitrogens include cruciferous vegetables, cassava, millet, and soya flour.
Selenium
Selenium is known to be essential to activate various key enzymes, such as the antioxidant glutathione peroxidise (GPX), the metabolic enzyme thioredoxin reductase, and the thyroid-hormone-activating enzyme iodothyronine deiodinase. In the production of thyroid hormones, hydrogen peroxide is produced, and in excessive amounts may lead to damage of thyroid cells. Thus, GPX (and selenium) plays an important role in degrading hydrogen peroxide and limiting the damage to the thyroid cells.
A combination of selenium and iodine deficiency was found to exacerbate hypothyroidism and this combined deficiency may manifest as myxoedematous cretinism which is common in Zaire where deficiencies of both of these minerals exists. As such, for better assimilation, it is recommended to take a combination of selenium and iodine for individuals with hypothyroidism.
