Free iron and iodine for Complete Forte customers

We are often asked why there is neither iron nor iodine in the list of ingredients of our Complete Forte.

This is – like everything at Viptamin – of course no coincidence, but the result of our well thought-out composition. You can find out exactly what this is all about here.

Iron and job - true multi-talents in our body

Iron and iodine both play major roles in our bodies. While iron is mainly involved in processes of cell formation of oxygen transport, we all know iodine for its important role as a metabolic regular in our thyroid gland. In addition, it has many other functions in our body. So why not put both in our Complete Forte?

Too much of a good thing for many people

The reason for this is actually quite simple: both iron and iodine are not useful for large portions of the population and may even be harmful for some.

Case 1: Iron supply in man

The first substance, iron, is present in sufficient concentration in most people. In fact, most men often have an excess of iron. Because it does not make sense for us to add components to our Complete Forte that most people do not have, we have deliberately omitted them from our formula.

Case 2: Iodine

With iodine, the situation looks even a little trickier: Various thyroid diseases, some of which are widespread, require either a higher or a reduced iodine intake:

Hyperthyroidism can be exacerbated by high iodine intake. In Graves’ disease and hot nodules, care should therefore be taken not to ingest large amounts of iodine.

Chronic immune thyroiditis Hashimoto’s may be worsened by iodine in some circumstances in the initial phase and should be temporarily avoided in large amounts.

During pregnancy, on the other hand, the advantages of additional iodine supplementation for the growing child outweigh the disadvantages. It is best to ask your thyroid doctor.

After surgical removal of the thyroid gland, the body can no longer produce the thyroid hormones itself from iodine; the hormones are supplied to it in tablet form. However, one does not have to worry about a possible excess of iodine: Iodine that is not needed in the body is excreted (mainly through the urine).

If your thyroid doctor has advised you to avoid large amounts of iodine, you should not take iodine-containing supplements (multivitamins) and medications, and you should not use iodine-containing X-ray contrast media or brown wound disinfectants. Reduce in your diet sea fish, seafood, seaweed and mineral waters rich in iodine. Before radioiodine therapy or whole-body scintigraphy (in carcinoma patients), one must temporarily restrict iodine intake very strictly. Iodine intake via iodized salt and large amounts of dairy products may also play a role here
