LAMIVIT is a natural source of iodine, recommended for maintaining the normal functioning of the thyroid gland and for preventing iodine deficiency disorders.

PROPERTIES

Laminaria is a brown seaweed. It is a natural source of iodine and of other macro- and microelements and vitamins (А, В₁, В₂, B₁₂, С, D, Е). Potassium, bromine, magnesium, calcium, phosphorus, selenium, manganese, molybdenum and other elements found in this alga, together contribute to a better assimilation of iodine in the organism.

Laminaria thallus also contains polysaccharides (laminarin, mannitol, fructose, alginate, alginic acid, fucoidan), dietary fiber, etc. Mannitol has strong absorption properties, so Laminariais often used to eliminate toxins from the body. Fiber is a good source of food for some types of beneficial microorganisms, which live in our gut and is effective in the concomitant administration of probiotics.

The biologically active components of Laminaria have thyroid, hypolipidemic, antisclerotic, hypoglycemic and tonic action. Laminaria helps to maintain the normal function of the thyroid gland, normalizes metabolic processes, balances hormones, improves the functioning of the nervous system, helps eliminate excess cholesterol, reduces blood viscosity, eliminates toxins, radionuclides, heavy metal salts, and improves and strengthens immunity.

Laminaria contains a significant amount of iodine (2.7-3.0%) as iodide (40-90%) and organic compounds of iodine (diiodotyrosine), which are easily assimilated by the body.

Iodine is a vital micronutrient required for the:

• synthesis of thyroid hormones (triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4) and the normal functioning of the thyroid gland);
• regulation of metabolism and maintenance of hormonal balance;
• normal functioning of the nervous system and cognitive function, the immune system and other systems of the body;
• mental and physical development (decreases irritability, improves mental well-being and work performance).

Thyroid gland hormones are necessary during pregnancy and lactation, and for the development of the nervous system of the foetus and baby.

Iodine contributes to protein synthesis, the formation of osteo-cartilaginous tissue, the integrity of connective tissue and helps maintain skin health. It improves the assimilation of phosphorus, calcium and iron and activates many enzymes. Under the influence of iodine, blood viscosity, vascular tone and blood pressure decrease.

Iodine and the phytoestrogens from Laminaria regulate the activity of ovaries, hormones, menstrual cycle and reduce the symptoms of the climacteric syndrome (negative consequences of menopause), reduce the risk of developing pathologies and hormone-dependent tumours.

Signs of iodine deficiency are disorders of hormonal metabolism and thyroid functions, hypothyroidism (evenmyxedema). Iodine deficiency leads to reproductive and sexual disorders, various diseases of the mammary glands, mental and physical underdevelopment (decreased attention, memory and intellect) and causes heart disease. It often lowers the level of haemoglobin in the blood, and in this case, iron preparations are ineffective.

In pregnancy, iodine deficiency is associated with an increased risk of miscarriage, stillbirth, early mortality in children, birth defects or various pathologies.

RECOMMENDED USE

Take LAMIVIT:

• as an additional source of iodine (in regions with iodine deficiency);
• to supplement iodine deficiency and prevent conditions caused by iodine deficiency;
• as an additional remedy in diseases caused by iodine deficiency (endemic and sporadic goiter, hypothyroidism, etc.);
• in dysplasia (developmental disorder) and / or thyroid gland dysfunction (hypofunction);
• to prevent cardiovascular disease and diabetes.
