Is Iodized Salt Good For You?

Iodine is an essential nutrient for Thyroid Health. The Thyroid Gland is a butterfly shaped gland in the front of your neck that produces hormones to control metabolism in the human body. You can naturally get Iodine from multiple different food sources such as fish, dairy, eggs, chicken, etc., however you would need to consume large amounts of these to get enough daily Iodine.

Having enough Iodine in your diet for proper Thyroid function allows you to help maintain a healthy weight, improve mood and energy levels, build stronger hair, skin, and nails, and allow for better digestion and sleep, in addition to so many more benefits.

Due to this struggle of getting enough daily Iodine, companies manufactured Potassium Iodate in a lab and added it to table salt to prevent complications of low Iodine in the body which can cause something called hypothyroidism.

Seaweed is naturally high in Iodine, with different species of seaweed having different Iodine concentrations. Life Salt mixes USDA Organic Seaweed with Pink Himalayan Salt to produce a Natural Iodine Salt with no artificial chemicals or unnecessary ingredients. Each serving provides 100% Daily amount of Natural Iodine needed for a healthy Thyroid gland in a normal person without underlying Thyroid problems. Each serving of Life Salt also has 80+ Minerals from the Pink Himalayan Salt. Life Salt uses a specific seaweed with a higher concentration of Iodine, meaning you can get your daily amount of Iodine without getting too much sodium which can lead to high blood pressure and other health issues.
