Ancient Purity Lugol's Iodine – a safe, highly effective solution, known for its purity and potency. Iodine is essential for human health and is found in every organ of the body. However, many people have low iodine levels, which are linked to various health issues.

In 1829, French physician Jean Lugol developed a solution containing 5% elemental iodine in a 10% potassium iodide solution, which has been widely used ever since. Iodine is best taken with selenium, as together they support thyroid health. The thyroid gland contains about 60% of the body's iodine and plays a key role in regulating growth and metabolism. Iodine also supports brain function and has antioxidant properties that protect brain cells.

During pregnancy and early childhood, adequate iodine levels are crucial for brain development, and deficiency can lead to cognitive impairments and developmental delays. Lugol's Iodine may also promote healthy skin and protect against radiation.

Symptoms of low iodine levels include fatigue, mood changes, weight gain, and constipation. If you're taking thyroid medication, consult your doctor before using iodine. Research suggests iodine deficiency is becoming more common in the UK, with a study showing over two-thirds of 700 teenage girls surveyed had a deficiency.

 Lugol's Iodine is stored in a Miron glass bottle to maintain its quality.
