Iodine Benefits - 18 Facts You Didn't Know About Iodine

Iodine benefits are vast and few people know that they could benefit immensely from supplementing with this essential element.

18 Facts You Didn't Know About Iodine

1. Iodine is an essential element / mineral found in every cell in your body.

2. Iodine is an indispensable key ingredient needed for your thyroid to produce thyroid hormone (T3 - Triiodothyronine & T4 - Thyroxine). Without enough iodine you can develop a condition called hypothyroidism.

3. Iodine is essential to healthy skin, hair and nails. Iodine can help rejuvenate hair, skin and nails that are dry, flaky or brittle.

4. Iodine provides energy and mental clarity.

5. Iodine is essential in regulating metabolism. It makes efficient use of your caloric intake, assisting the body in fat loss and muscle gain.

6. Iodine bolsters the immune system and protects the body against microbial threats.

7. Iodine is anti-cancer, preventing breast, thyroid, prostate, ovarian and uterine cancer.

8. Iodine can stop certain forms of migraine headaches. Without iodine the blood vessels in your head unduly restrict blood flow.

9. Iodine is a natural antiseptic. Used topically at injection sites to sterilize and maintain a clean area that is protects against infection.

10. Iodine is a natural detox agent. It kicks out bromide and fluoride among others.

11. Iodine is not only essential for thyroid function but adrenal function as well. Your adrenals secrete stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline to balance stress, prepare you for threats and help you recover from physical exercise.

12. Inadequate amounts of iodine during pregnancy can lead to mental deficits, retardation, cretinism and sometimes even miscarriage.

13. Iodine is concentrated in the glandular tissue (thyroid, breast, prostate, ovaries and uterus) and maintains these tissues normal architecture.

14. Iodine deficiency can lead to bromide toxicity.

15. In case of a nuclear holocaust, iodine can act as a protective shield against your body/thyroid absorbing the readioactive iodine isotope iodine-131.

16. Iodine deficiency can cause constipation, depression, low energy, thinning hair, brittle nails, dry skin, mood swings, sensitivity to cold, chest and heart palpitations, respiratory issues, irregular menstrual cycles, weakness, weight gain, goiter and MORE!

17. Iodine found in table salt or artificially iodized salt is a poor source of dietary iodine.

Just wanted to say I tried iodine after watching this video and it was life changing. I feel like I went back in time 15 years. I was so lethargic and apathetic I knew there had to be some deficiency of something in my body. turns out there were several. Magnesium helped, iron helped, and zinc helped a little, but iodine helped more and quicker than all of them.

Hello Doctor Scott,

I just found your channel. Thank you very much for your wonderful videos. :))
But I've a question I hardly find any information on. How would you treat RTH, resistance to thyroid hormones?
I assume the need for iodine must be much higher than on average!?

[olareny]

Thanks Dr. Scott that was very informative.
So which are you done should I take? And at what dosage?

[DreamPierre]

Ah... I was wondering where that beautiful beach was... Santa Barbara...I've been there once actually, when I was about 19... Many moons ago. Thanks for sharing...Bishop... and thanks for making this Doctor Scott. Love the comedic side of you.

Wow I didnt know Iodine was so beneficial! Its interesting too because I am taking chemo pills for cancer and have recently had two possible life threatening allergic reactions from my CT Scan contrast which is iodine. Doctors couldnt tell me why I could be allergic so I googled it. My understanding is that Im low in iodine so maybe the contrast is overload in my system due to medications and not eating enough foods that have iodine in them such as boiled eggs for instance. I also read that Japanese people eat a lot of seaweed, loaded with salt that cause a lot of hypothyroidism but the people have low cancer rates and more longevity due to iodine. Thank you for posting this video!

I love the ocean in the back ground. What are your thoughts on iodine for people who don't have a thyroid?

[francesca]

@Dr Scott Health - Which Iodine do you recommend?

[Rosalie]

Dr Scott, I loved your video, I live in Canada which gets harsh winters, in 2014 I was diagnosed with Ampulary Carcinoma and had Whipple surgery, i had never smoked, had lemon water in the AM, oatmeal for breakfast, occasionally had a glass of wine. Because I was taken by surprise I have been trying to understand what could have been missing. My family is originally from Lisbon, Portugal and are by the ocean and some of my cousins, and nieces have had breast, ovarian, gallbladder cancer they get plenty of sunshine for Vit D, and eat plenty of fish. I feel baffled 😕😕🌺 thank you
