Vitals Iodine bio 100.00 Capsules

Vitals Iodine organic

Iodine is found naturally mainly in the sea. On land, the amount of iodine is very unevenly distributed. The best natural food sources of iodine are therefore all products that come from the sea, such as fish, shellfish, and seaweed. Organic Iodine comes from organic knotted wrack, which is naturally a rich source of iodine. The product is standardised to contain 150 mcg of iodine per capsule.

Quality
The seaweed species used in Organic Iodine is knotted wrack (Ascophyllum nodosum). It is organically and sustainably harvested by producer Seaweed & Co from the clean sea around the Hebrides (a group of islands off the west coast of Scotland). After harvesting, the knotted wrack is processed using a patented production method that keeps the original nutritional value of the seaweed intact. In addition, each batch is analysed for iodine content and purity to ensure that it meets the highest quality requirements. The iodine content in seaweed can vary greatly. Both too low and too high an iodine content is undesirable, which is why it is important to choose a seaweed product where the content is consistently determined. Furthermore, Seaweed & Co is the only seaweed producer in the world to offer DNA Authenticated Seaweed™, where an external party confirms the origin and high quality of their specific knotted wrack through DNA testing.

This iodine product is a 'whole food' and not an extract. The capsule contains the 'whole' knotted wrack with not only iodine but also traces of other naturally occurring minerals. The knotted wrack is organically certified based on water quality and the sustainability of the cultivation techniques. The water is routinely analysed. An important part of the sustainable cultivation technique is that only the upper part of the seaweed plant is used. The entire plant is therefore not removed, which prevents nothing from growing after 2 to 4 years. This is additionally monitored and controlled by the 'Crown Estate Scottish Environmental Protection Agency' and 'Scottish Natural Heritage'.

Organic
The active ingredients of organic food supplements are guaranteed to be of natural origin and not synthetically manufactured. In addition, production takes environmental, animal, and human well-being into account as much as possible. Various regulations define what this entails. Among other things, no chemical pesticides, artificial fertilisers, or genetically modified organisms are used. The Skal Biocontrole institute checks whether the regulations are complied with and whether a product can be called organic. Organic products can be recognised by the code NL-BIO-01 and the European organic label.
