When dealing with the symptoms of hypothyroidism, talk of
iodine deficiency typically comes into play. We must be aware however, that
high levels of iodine supplementation can cause side effects. Typically in most
industrialized countries iodine deficiency is not a problem.
Most thyroid goiters today can actually be the result of
having excessive estrogen, which can cause a similar effect as iodine by not
allowing your thyroid gland to properly release its thyroid hormones.
Because of this fact, when you are dealing with your
symptoms of hypothyroidism be cautious if you are considering taking high
levels of iodine. When looking for a desired result, taking too much iodine may
actually cause an opposite effect on your thyroid. It can actually suppress
your thyroid function further in contribute to thyroiditis. Higher iodine
levels may also have a possible role in contributing to the development of
degenerative diseases in your body as well.
Be sure to talk to your physician when deciding what your
best choice would be for treating your symptoms of hypothyroidism. Before you
consider adding in higher amounts of iodine to your diet, have yourself checked
for iodine deficiency first and keep your physician informed of your progress.
