Iodoral is the name of a nutritional supplement that is manufactured by an online company known as Optimox, Inc. It is known as being one of the strongest iodine supplements available. The main function of Iodoral is to supply higher amounts of iodine (an essential element) to the thyroid gland. This extra iodine is believed to encourage and raise the function of the thyroid. Iodoral comes in tablet form. It is used as both an iodine supplement as well as a weight loss supplement.

    Hyperthyroidism

  1. Iodine is believed to encourage the body's thyroid production. Low amounts of iodine are believed to lead to hyperthyroidism (an overactive thyroid). As a result, increased iodine can often alleviate the problem. Hyperthyroidism can lead to many negative effects, including weight gain, concentration loss, low energy levels and chronic fatigue. Iodoral can help lessen the chances of hyperthyroidism of occurring by increasing iodine amounts within the body.
  2. Common Ailments

  3. Deficiencies in iodine can lead to a lot of other ailments and uncomfortable effects. As a result, taking Iodoral as a nutritional supplement can help with afflictions including digestion problems, low body temperature (a constant feeling of being cold), exhaustion, skin, ovarian and breast cysts, glaucoma and dementia.
  4. Other Ailments

  5. Iodoral can occasionally also help the body combat other common ailments that are related to deficiencies of iodine, such as loss of hair, panic and anxiety attacks, decreased ambition and motivation, unhealthy and weak nails, acne, memory loss, breaking out into hives, asthma, fluid retention, carpal tunnel syndrome, asthma, cancer, high cholesterol, decreased sex drive, irritability, depression, allergies, fibrocystic breast disease, insomnia, headaches, migraine headaches, pre-menstrual syndrome and dryness of the hair or skin.
  6. Endocrine

  7. Taking Iodoral and increasing the levels of iodine is also known for assisting with the endocrine system. It particularly has a good effect on the adrenal/thyroid axis. Promoting the adrenal gland can help encourage healthier sleep patterns, higher levels of energy and a general, overall sense of well being.
  8. Safety

  9. Iodoral is widely considered to be a safe nutritional supplement that is both inorganic and non-radioactive (it consists of a non-radioactive type of potassium iodide).
