Hypothyroidism and Dry Skin
Are you suffering from dry, flaky skin? Your thyroid gland may be to blame.
Hypothyroidism is a condition where the thyroid gland produces low or inadequate levels of thyroid hormones. The thyroid gland relies heavily on iodine - an essential micronutrient, to produce these hormones. Therefore, low iodine intake is often associated with an under active thyroid.
Studies have shown that for those who suffer from hypothyroidism, 77 percent also suffer from dry and flaky skin. (1)
How does hypothyroidism cause dry skin?
When thyroid hormone levels are low, the regeneration of skin cells is significantly slowed. This results in dead skin cells remaining on the skin’s surface for a longer period of time, causing dry, dull and flaky skin.
Thyroid hormones also regulate the metabolism. When thyroid hormones are low, the metabolism slows down significantly. A slow metabolism results in reduced sweat production. (2) Sweat acts as a natural moisturizer for the skin, keeping your skin well-hydrated. A lack of sweat can therefore lead to cracked, dry, thick, and flaky skin.

Why Iodine is the Missing Link.
The thyroid gland uses iodine to produce thyroid hormones. An iodine deficiency can therefore result in an under-active thyroid. Unfortunately, iodine deficiencies are becoming more and more common, due to low and decreasing levels of this micronutrient in many foods. (3)
When the thyroid gland cannot uptake enough iodine, essential thyroid hormones cannot be produced and the body fails to perform many of its regular functions. This can lead to a number of issues, including dry skin.
Therefore, it is incredibly important to consume enough iodine to keep the body functioning optimally. One of the best ways to increase iodine levels is to take a supplement every day.

Supplementing with Iodine.
Supplementation is one of the best ways to increase intake and restore iodine levels back to a healthy range in less than 30 seconds a day. †
There are many forms of consumable iodine supplementation on the market but molecular iodine, like Thyroid Warrior, has been shown to be the most effective in studies. (4,5) †
Most iodine supplements on the market today, contain potassium or sodium iodide. These types of supplements require the body’s energy to break down the molecule before it can be utilized by the thyroid, making it less effective. One major problem with potassium iodide is that it can cause inflammation in the thyroid with long-term use. †

Thyroid Warrior, on the other hand, has been produced by exposing I2 to an electromagnetic field, breaking the bond between the two molecules. The result is a pure, highly bioactive form of iodine called monoatomic iodine. Because Thyroid Warrior remains in its atomic rather than molecular form, it is readily absorbed and utilized by the thyroid, making it much more effective than other forms of iodine on the market. The body can also easily eliminate this form of iodine through the kidneys, so it’s safe to use and non-toxic. †
By restoring healthy thyroid hormone production, you can say goodbye to your dead skin cells and welcome back healthy, radiant, glowing skin. †
