Hypothyroidism and Iodine

There are different causes for hypothyroidism but, iodine deficiency is still the most common cause of hypothyroidism across the globe. The WHO (World Health Organization) estimates that about 2 billion people have iodine-deficiency based on urinary excretion data. Some studies also show that long-term hypothyroidism can lead to an increase in ovarian volume, which can also be accompanied by cyst formation. (1) 

How Hypothyroidism and Iodine Deficiency are Connected.

According to the American Thyroid Association, iodine is an element that is necessary for thyroid hormone production. (2) Since the body doesn’t make iodine, you need to get adequate iodine from your diet. Without enough iodine in your body, your body won’t produce the thyroid hormones that your body needs to survive. Otherwise, you could end up with a variety of conditions like inflammation of the thyroid and hypothyroidism. (3)

So what does iodine do for the body exactly? The thyroid turns iodine into thyroid hormones, T4 (thyroxine) and T3 (triiodothyronine). The T3 and T4 are then circulated through the bloodstream, where it is responsible for regulating body temperature, metabolism, and heart rate.

Iodine deficiency can also cause hair loss and dry, flaky skin. Thyroid levels are linked to hair follicle growth so that iodine deficiency can be one cause of premature hair loss. Thyroid hormones are responsible for helping the skin cells regenerate, so low levels can cause dry and flaky skin.

Other symptoms include changes in your heart rate, feeling colder than you would usually feel, trouble with your memory and learning, and heavy or irregular periods. Eventually, an iodine deficiency can lead to hypothyroidism, which could have complications if left untreated.

How Taking Iodine Supplements May Help.

In a toxic world it's very easy for people to fall below their individual nutritional intake requirements. Getting enough iodine from diet alone is almost impossible these days. After all, an iodine deficiency is the most common cause of hypothyroidism worldwide.  As the body's iodine levels fall, hypothyroidism may develop, since iodine is essential for making thyroid hormones.

In his best selling book, "Iodine: Why You Need It, Why You Can't Live Without It",  Dr. David Browstein explains that he found that almost 95% of the 500 patients he tested were iodine deficient!  

That’s why we created Thyroid Warrior. By taking just 1-3 drops of Thyroid Warrior in a cold glass of water each day you can get your entire daily amount of iodine. It’s a great way to not only feel more energized, and focused but also fight goiters, and hypothyroidism.
