now when people think of iodine they

automatically think of the thyroid and

it’s true that you do need iodine to

make thyroid hormones okay like t4 t3

the four and three just represent the

number of iodine molecules okay so

that’s true so number one childhood

development

if the child is deficient in iodine or

the mother who’s pregnant with the child

is deficient the child could end up with

a smaller brain lower mental capacity a

lower IQ and overall they just won’t

develop and grow to their full potential

iodine is vitally necessary for female

reproductive organs there are many

receptors for iodine in the breasts and

the eyes in the stomach and the salivary

glands in the brain and the cervix and

even in the arteries and you can see

dramatic results when you give someone

with fibrocystic breast or ovarian cysts

a high quality c-cal product loaded with

plant-based iodine so iodine regulates

excessive amounts of estrogen and

estrogen can trigger cancer and this is

why iodine can protect against cancer

now the ways that you would be deficient

is from the diet because you’re not

consuming maybe in a seafood or this

soil that the food that you’re eating is

just not fortified with trace minerals

which is very common especially in

America or if you have low selenium and

then you have pregnancy and birth

control pills which in both of these

situations you’re going to have a spike

of estrogen and anytime you have higher

amounts of estrogen you also need a

little more iodine to compensate

radiation can deplete your iodine

smoking can deplete it alcohol can

deplete your iodine and I always

recommend a plant-based iodine in the

form of a high-quality sea kelp thanks
