In recent years, I had waited to add iodine to the Forte until the studies were clear as to whether we were suffering from iodine deficiency here. Now it is from my point of view. That is why you will now find 156% of the daily requirement of organically utilizable iodine in Forte 2023.

Whether you feel restless or listless could be due to your thyroid. It is one of our energy centers. With its thyroid hormones, it regulates every cell. Iodine is the central building block for this.

Scientists at the University of Rostock have investigated the supply situation with iodine. They used a bus to measure iodine intake in 6000 families in Germany. Result: On average, we eat 72 µg of iodine daily. The iodine salts with 78 µg only slightly more. The minimum recommendation is 200 µg daily, so it’s best to take the iodine supply into our own hands.

In the case of iodine deficiency, the thyroid gland tries to suck up the last remnants from the blood. At the same time, she puffs herself up. The goiter develops. Iodine deficiency makes you tired. Women are three times more likely to be affected by thyroid disease than men. This is because women are significantly more often vegetarians or vegans. By the way, many women have latent iodine deficiency even before pregnancy. However, during pregnancy or immediately after birth, up to 70 percent develop a pathologically enlarged thyroid gland.

Iodine also affects the intelligence of the unborn child. Children who experienced iodine deficiency during pregnancy have, on average, a 10-point lower intelligence quotient. These are results from over 68 studies. Children who grow poorly, remain too small, are sluggish and unfocused, or learn poorly often have an iodine deficiency or suffer undetected from hypothyroidism.

To absorb enough iodine from food, you would have to eat six kilograms of cheese every day or eat five fish meals a week. Iodized table salt is a drop in the bucket. A healthy person can practically not absorb too much iodine. If the body actually gets more iodine than it needs, it excretes it again.
