Adequate Iodine (not excess)

for Underactive Thyroid (Hypothyroidism)

Ensuring adequate but not excessive iodine intake as both deficiency and excess can worsen thyroid conditions.

How it works

Iodine is essential for thyroid hormone synthesis. However excess iodine can trigger or worsen Hashimoto's through oxidative mechanisms.

What to watch for

Most Australians get adequate iodine from iodised salt and bread. High-dose iodine supplements can worsen Hashimoto's - avoid without medical guidance.
