Supports Healthy Thyroid Function
Iodine is the raw material the thyroid uses to make its hormones, and Pure Encapsulations says its Iodine "provides support for the thyroid gland."*
Who I Reach For This With
- Patients where iodine intake is part of the thyroid conversation
- People who want a small, easy-to-swallow capsule
- Anyone who wants a plain potassium iodide capsule without extras
- Protocols that already include the amino acid tyrosine or selenium
What Makes This Form Different
- Iodine (as potassium iodide) 225 mcg per capsule, a single ingredient
- Small, easy-to-swallow size 3 vegetarian capsules
- Vegan ingredients "backed by verifiable science"; free from gluten, GMOs, wheat, soy, dairy, eggs, and artificial colors and sweeteners
What Pure Encapsulations Says It Supports*
- Supports the formation of thyroid hormones*
- Promotes metabolic function*
- Enhances mitochondrial activity and enzyme synthesis*
- Provides support for the thyroid gland*
How It Fits Into a Protocol
I treat iodine as one input to a thyroid-support plan, not the whole plan. It pairs with Pure Encapsulations l-Tyrosine, or with the combined Iodine and Tyrosine capsule when one product is simpler. Pure Encapsulations Selenium is another item I consider in the same conversation. Anyone with a thyroid condition or on thyroid medication should check with their prescribing provider before adding iodine.
