Restorative Formulations Iodine Px Supports Thyroid Function 60 Vegi-Capsules

Iodine Px contains 12.5 mg of iodine, but after an extensive review of the science, Restorative Formulations determined that all iodine present is in the natural form as iodide. An independent lab verified that when any dry form of iodine (I2) is dissolved in solution (as occurs in the digestive process), it is entirely converted to the iodide form. As a result, the label on Iodine Px was updated to more accurately reflect the true form of iodine present. Once in the body, iodine (I2) must be converted to the more usable form, iodide (I-). There is no definitive research supporting a clinical advantage to consuming both forms of iodine.

Iodine is essential for various body functions such as overall metabolism, growth, and cognitive development. The nutritional cofactors in Iodine Px support the organification of iodine as well as the sodium-iodide symporter. Selenium is essential for the enzyme iodothyronine deiodinase, important for the conversion of T4 (inactive) to T3 (active), which helps maintain thyroid hormone stability. Copper is included to help control multiple hormone levels. Riboflavin is important for the production of flavoproteins (e.g., FMN and FAD) and the activation of B6. Riboflavin is also responsible for the coenzyme conversion of tryptophan to niacin and folate to tetrahydrofolate.
