What is Iodine?
Iodine is an essential mineral crucial for the production of thyroid hormones. These hormones are responsible for regulating metabolism, body temperature, and playing a role in the body's growth and development.
Why should you have Iodine tested?
An iodine test can be useful for checking iodine levels in the body, especially if there are concerns about thyroid function or if symptoms suggest an iodine deficiency or excess. It is also helpful for people living in areas where iodine deficiency is common, or for pregnant women, due to the crucial role of iodine in fetal development.
What does it indicate?
The iodine test indicates the amount of iodine in the body. An adequate level is essential for healthy thyroid function and overall health.
What does a high iodine level mean?
A high iodine level may indicate excessive iodine intake, which can lead to hyperthyroidism or thyroid inflammation. It can also be a sign of certain thyroid disorders.
What does a low iodine level mean?
A low iodine level indicates a deficiency, which can lead to hypothyroidism, a condition where the thyroid gland produces insufficient hormones. This can cause growth and development problems and, in adults, lead to weight gain, fatigue, and cold intolerance.
