The Iodine Codex
A compact work that explains why a single trace element has a say in the activity of every cell in the body — and what happens when intake falls short.
The Problem
Iodine is present in the body only in tiny amounts — and yet it is indispensable for the formation of the thyroid hormones T3 and T4. These hormones, in turn, govern the basal metabolic rate of nearly every cell in the body.
Modern eating habits, depleted soils and the decline of iodized foods make adequate iodine intake a quiet challenge. This guide shows what science actually knows about it.
Scientific basis
Each of the following statements has been reviewed and authorized by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) under Regulation (EU) No 432/2012.
EFSA-authorized claim: Iodine contributes to the normal production of thyroid hormones and normal thyroid function.
The thyroid needs iodine as the basic building block for the hormones T3 and T4. These govern basal metabolism, body temperature and protein synthesis in nearly all tissues.
EFSA-authorized claim: Iodine contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism.
Through the thyroid hormones, iodine influences how efficiently nutrients are converted into usable energy. Adequate intake is therefore part of the metabolic foundation of everyday life.
EFSA-authorized claim: Iodine contributes to the normal functioning of the nervous system.
Thyroid hormones are involved in the maturation and maintenance of neural structures. Adequate iodine intake is therefore one of the basic prerequisites for normal nervous system function.
