Studies on iodine:

• Clinical study on iodine from the seaweed Seagreens® Ascophyllum nodosum
  • In a 2013 clinical trial* conducted with young women suffering from iodine deficiency, in which the iodine levels measured in the “marine iodine” contained Seagreens® seaweed was used as a source of marine iodine, it was demonstrated that iodine from the algae Seagreens® sustainably improves iodine concentration in the body and does not interfere with the storage of iodine in the thyroid gland. *Combet E. et al. Low-level seaweed supplementation improves iodine status in iodine-insufficient women. British J of Nutrition 1-9 (2014).

Iodine:

• Contributes to normal energy metabolism
• Contributes to normal cognitive function
• Contributes to normal functioning of the nervous system
• Contributes to normal production of thyroid hormones and normal thyroid function
• Contributes to the maintenance of normal skin

Selenium:

• Contributes to normal thyroid function
• Contributes to the maintenance of normal hair
• Contributes to the maintenance of normal nails
• Helps protect cells from oxidative stress
• contributes to normal functioning of the immune system (physical defense)
• contributes to normal sperm formation (formation of sperm cells)

marine iodine + seagreens™-kelp + selenium Directions: Take 1 to 2 capsules daily, unchewed, with plenty of liquid, in the morning or evening before meals or as directed by the therapist. The iodine content supplied per capsule is 150 µg/day and 55 µg selenium. This corresponds 100% to the EU recommendations (RDA). The DGE (German Nutrition Society) recommends a daily intake of 200 to 260 µg of iodine in the diet. The recommended daily intake for selenium should be at least 60 µg for women and 70 µg for men, according to the German Nutrition Society (DGE). Women who breastfeed need at least 75 milligrams of selenium per day.

marine iodine + seagreens™-kelp + selenium is a food that should be used as part of a healthy, varied and balanced diet. Keep out of reach of small children.
