Halide Profile (Iodine Test)

Iodine

Iodine is essential for the optimal functioning of your body. It is required for immunity, cellular health, thyroid function and detoxification not to mention making your entire hormonal system function. It is also one of the most potent anti-viral, anti-fungal and antibacterial components in our diet. An Iodine deficiency can lead to a range of health problems. In addition to sub-optimal functioning of the above systems it can also cause goitre (enlarged thyroid), oxidative stress and DNA alterations in the thyroid gland.

Bromide

Bromide is a highly toxic and dangerous element, that blocks the use of Iodine at a cellular level. It is found in a range of products including fire retardants, some soft drinks, plastics and pesticides.
