Iodine is an essential element required for the function of all organ systems. Despite this, much of Europe is deficient in iodine, and increasingly those on plant-based diets.
Although the importance of iodine in thyroid hormone synthesis and reproduction is well known, its direct effects on the immune system are elusive.
However, a study1 revealed the novel network between human immune cells and thyroid-related molecules and highlight the importance of iodine in regulating the function of human immune cells.
PureSea’s range of naturally innovative seaweed ingredients provide a good source of natural plant-based essential iodine. Use of PureSea allows for numerous EFSA health claims including supporting normal thyroid function and production of thyroid hormones.
