Description
The Iodine Loading + Urine Elements panel provides a thorough assessment of iodine levels, focusing on the body’s ability to absorb and excrete iodine. Iodine plays a vital role in thyroid health and various metabolic processes, and deficiencies can lead to symptoms such as fatigue, weight gain, and hair loss. This test goes beyond measuring iodine by also analysing other significant elements in the urine, including bromine, selenium, arsenic, cadmium, lithium, and mercury. These trace elements offer valuable insights into potential environmental toxin exposure, heavy metal accumulation, and other imbalances that may impact health. By understanding how the body processes iodine and these other elements, individuals can gain a clearer picture of their overall well-being, thyroid function, and any associated risks from toxic exposure. This comprehensive test is essential for those concerned about their mineral balance and the effects of environmental toxins on health.
