Thyroid

Q: Which nutrients are important for the thyroid?

The trace elements iodine and selenium take centre stage. Iodine contributes to normal production of thyroid hormones and normal thyroid function. Selenium also supports normal thyroid function. This makes both of them key micronutrients for this organ.

These include the trace elements iodine and selenium, as well as herbs such as thyme and seaweed extracts. At Scheunengut, you'll find coordinated complexes and single ingredients here – vegan, bottled in Germany and lab-tested.

Origin & Extraction

Iodine is a naturally occurring trace element, often obtained from seaweed such as kelp. Selenium comes from mineral sources. Plant components such as thyme and the Irish seaweed extract Chondrus crispus (seamoss) round off the category's range.

Standardisation & Format

The substances are available as a capsule, powder or drops. For trace elements, the declared microgram amount per daily serving is decisive; for extracts, it is the extract ratio (e.g. 30:1). Iodine, selenium and herbs are often combined in a single complex.
