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
