Life Extension Sea-Iodine 1000 mcg., 60 Vegetarian Capsules Features : Americans have rightly been told to avoid table salt for decades in order to reduce their risk of hypertension and related health conditions. When iodized table salt is reduced, people can unknowingly lower their iodine intake to suboptimal levels. Analyses from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) show that urinary iodine levels have plummeted since the 1970s. Iodine is a health-promoting trace element essential for life. Its primary biological role lies in the production of the thyroid hormones triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4). The thyroid gland actively absorbs iodide from the blood to make and release these hormones into the blood. Additional plant extracts from bamboo and dried plum have also been added for their bone-protective minerals and polyphenols. This problem is of special concern for maturing individuals, as magnesium deficiency increases over time.
