VitaSanum®- Potassium iodide (KI) 200 µg 250 tablets

VitaSanum®- Potassium Iodide (KI) 200 µg 250 tablets VitaSanum® Potassium Iodide as a dietary supplement offers specific health benefits that are mainly associated with its role in providing iodine. Iodine is an essential mineral that is necessary for various body functions. Here are some of the key benefits of potassium iodide: Supports thyroid function: Iodine is a crucial component of the thyroid hormones thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3), which regulate metabolism, body temperature, and many other important bodily functions. Adequate iodine intake is necessary to maintain healthy thyroid function and prevent disorders such as hypothyroidism and goiter. Brain development: Iodine is especially important for brain development in fetuses and young children. Iodine deficiency during pregnancy can lead to developmental delays and even severe mental disabilities in the child. Prevention of radiation sickness: Potassium iodide is used in emergency situations where there is a risk of radioactive contamination, particularly in nuclear power plant accidents. Taking potassium iodide can prevent radioactive iodine from being absorbed by the thyroid by "saturating" the thyroid with non-radioactive iodine, thereby reducing the risk of thyroid cancer. Reproductive health: Iodine also contributes to normal reproductive function. In women, iodine deficiency can lead to menstrual irregularities and increased risks of fertility problems. Skin health: Iodine plays a role in maintaining healthy skin. A deficiency can lead to dry skin and other skin problems. Contraindications: Although potassium iodide offers many health benefits, it is important to keep intake within the recommended daily dose, as overdose can lead to unwanted side effects, including what is known as iodine poisoning or hyperthyroidism. It is always advisable to consult a doctor before taking any dietary supplements, especially those containing iodine, to correctly determine your iodine needs and ensure a safe dosage.
