Iodine
Buy Iodine – Essential Trace Element in Tested Quality
Iodine is a chemical element from the group of halogens and is one of the essential trace elements that the body cannot produce itself. In food supplements, iodine is usually present as potassium iodide or as a natural compound from marine algae. In this category, you'll find iodine supplements from Scheunengut – with a defined content, vegan and lab-tested.
Origin & Extraction
Iodine is provided for supplements in two ways: as mineral potassium iodide and as naturally bound iodine from algae such as kelp or seaweed. Marine algae accumulate iodine from seawater and therefore serve as a typical plant-based source.
Standardisation & Format
What matters is the declared iodine content per serving, usually stated in micrograms (µg). Iodine is available as a capsule, tablet or drops and is often combined with other trace elements such as selenium. Always check for a transparent amount stated per daily serving.
What to Look for When Buying
- Clearly declared iodine content in µg per serving

Häufige Fragen zu Iodine
What is iodine important for in the body?
Iodine is an essential trace element that the body cannot produce itself. It contributes to normal thyroid function and normal production of thyroid hormones. It also supports normal cognitive function, normal function of the nervous system, energy metabolism and the maintenance of normal skin. This makes iodine one of the key micronutrients in daily nutrition.
What forms of iodine are there?
In food supplements, iodine mainly occurs as mineral potassium iodide or as naturally bound iodine from sea algae such as kelp or seaweed. Algae concentrate iodine directly from seawater and are therefore considered a typical plant-based source. Both variants provide usable iodine but differ in their raw material source and in how the content is declared.
What should I look out for when buying iodine?
What matters most is the clearly declared iodine content per serving, usually stated in micrograms (µg). Look for tested purity and a transparent statement of the iodine source. Our iodine products are made in Germany, lab-tested and vegan – with a defined content and without unnecessary additives. That way, you know exactly what's in every serving.
Is iodine often combined with other nutrients?
Yes, iodine is often combined with selenium, as both trace elements play a role in normal thyroid function. It is available as a capsule, tablet or drops, so you can choose the format that suits you best. If you want to supplement individual trace elements in a targeted way, you'll find iodine with us in pure form and precisely dosed.
