The Australian Iodine Double-Deficit.

If you are reading this it's probably because you are interested in health... your own health, your family's and your pets health. 
And you probably already know that iodine is essential for good health, and that we need a constant source because our bodies don't store iodine for the long term and so our iodine levels can become depleted.

A daily iodine top up such as Seagreens Food Capsules is especially important in Australia because our food is not a good source.
Our ancient Australian soils are very iodine deficient which means that the food we grow is as well.

But did you know that our drinking water is also causing us to be iodine deficient?

If your home has town water chances are your council adds chlorine as a disinfectant.

Chlorine competes with iodine in the body because they have similar chemical structures, allowing them to compete for the same receptors and binding sites in the body.

Iodine is essential for thyroid hormone production, and it’s taken up by the thyroid gland through a special transporter in the thyroid cells called the sodium-iodide symporter.
Chlorine can interfere by occupying this transporter, reducing the amount of iodine that gets to the thyroid.*
This, in turn, can disrupt thyroid function, leading to potential issues with metabolism, energy levels, and overall hormone balance.

It's great that we have clean drinking water but it's best if you can filter the chlorine out.

And make sure you are getting enough natural, organic iodine by getting your 1 gram of Seagreens a day... that's all it takes!
