Your Symptoms Of Hypothyroidism And Iodine

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.
