Essential Angstrom Iodine

Iodine is called the "metabolizer". It is one of the most vital of the biochemical elements and has one of the highest vibratory frequency rates of all the elements. It mainly affects the thyroid, which not only controls many important functions in the body, but also keeps us in a quickened state of health.

Iodine restores heat and assists calcium in the repair and building of tissue in the body. Iodine is stored mainly in the thyroid. Small amounts are also stored in the skin, muscles, and bones.

The thyroid gland secretes iodine. The hormones which the thyroid produce regulate and control the metabolism of the body (increasing the assimilation of salts), digestion, heart rate, body temperature, nervous system, reproductive system and body weight.

Iodine protects the brain by destroying harmful toxins, and helps neutralize toxins in the rest of the body. It aids the assimilation of calcium and silicon.

Skin problems such as dry or scaly skin are indicative of an iodine deficiency. Regular elevated intakes of iodine occur occasionally; such reactions may manifest as skin rashes or acne.
