🦋 Are you getting enough iodine?
Iodine plays an essential role in normal thyroid function and thyroid hormone production—but iodine status can be influenced by more than simply whether you take a supplement.
Low intake of iodized salt, seafood, dairy, or eggs can reduce dietary iodine. Needs also increase during pregnancy and breastfeeding, while compounds such as perchlorate, thiocyanate from cigarette smoke, and nitrate can interfere with iodide uptake by the thyroid.
And medications? Some medications can affect thyroid function without actually depleting iodine—which is why we prefer looking at the whole picture instead of automatically recommending another supplement.
💚 That’s where a functional pharmacist can help.
At Webster Pharmacy, we can review your diet, supplements, medications, and lifestyle to help identify potential gaps and determine whether iodine supplementation makes sense for you.
Don’t guess. Measure the difference.
