This might be the missing piece to help improve your thyroid function
Iodine is an essential element that is challenging to obtain through diet, especially since fewer people use iodized salt these days. Your body needs iodine to produce thyroid hormones, so a deficiency can contribute to or worsen hypothyroidism. Discover your iodine levels to make informed dietary and supplement choices based on real data
The Root Urine Iodine test is a convenient alternative to the traditional 24-hour urine collection method for measuring iodine levels. This test requires just two urine sample collections during the day.
This test is for people who experience 1 or more of the following:
- Uncontrolled hypothyroidism
- Feeling “unwell” despite being on the “right dose” of thyroid meds
- Fatigue
- Brain Fog
- Muscle Weakness
- Scaly/dry skin
- Goiter (thyroid enlargement)
- Unexpected weight gain
- Eating a vegan diet
- Not consuming iodized salt
