Lugol’s solution – liquid iodine

Lugol’s iodine is actually an old classic that was in every home’s medicine cabinet 100 years ago!
Today largely forgotten. Its uses are many. It can be a strong antibacterial and can be consumed and also used topically.

Lugols contains liquid iodine (potassium iodide, i.e. iodine bound to potassium), which contributes, among other things, to the normal production of thyroid hormones and the functioning of the thyroid gland.

Iodine and potassium iodide promote:
Hormone production
Conversion of the amino acid tyrosine to the thyroid hormone thyroxine
Cell reactions
Oxygen turnover
Normal body temperature
Normal energy metabolism
Cognitive functioning
Function of the nervous system
Fresh skin
Protein turnover
Immune system
Detoxification of toxic metals such as aluminum, cadmium, lead,
mercury and the halides: bromides, chlorine and fluorine
Hair, nails, teeth
Absorption of carbohydrates in the small intestine
Uptake and function of vitamin A
Conversion of beta-carotene to vitamin A.

The need for iodine varies greatly from person to person. For some, one drop in a glass of water per day is too much and for others, two drops in a glass of water may be too little.

Some people take one drop of Lugol’s solution in a glass of water and then drink some of the contents every day. We also have customers who know they have a greater need who take two drops in the glass and drink it all in one day.

More about iodine

Iodine deficiency
Iodine is a relatively rare element but is essential for normal bodily and mental functions. It is found in the surface layer of the earth’s crust and in seawater and is concentrated in large quantities in certain aquatic plants such as algae in particular.

To prevent iodine deficiency, iodine is now added to table salt. The daily recommended amount of iodine is 150mcg per day (according to WHO..). However, opinions are divided as to whether this is sufficient for optimal health. Aroniabutiken believes that this is far too low and that iodine-enriched table salt is a pointless source of iodine.
In Sweden, there is a bit of ‘iodine fear’, as it is a vital substance that is fairly harmless to use in supplement form. And iodine deficiency is much more common than previously thought.

There are also substances that can compete with iodine and thus cause iodine deficiency. For example, bromine compounds, which are found in textiles and electronic products, and flour, which is found in toothpaste.

Especially for those with symptoms of estrogen dominance
Iodine as a supplement can be beneficial for those who have various symptoms of estrogen dominance such as fibroadenoma in the breasts (lumps, cysts, soreness), myoma in the uterus, heavy bleeding and even endometriosis.

Thyroid problems
If you have hypothyroidism and a low metabolism, you can use iodine supplements. If you have Hashimoto’s disease, you should be a little careful with iodine, but this applies especially to potassium iodide.

Candida, bacteria and viruses
Because iodine is a powerful antibacterial, it is also used to treat fungal skin infections. If you are suffering from troublesome Candida, molecular iodine may be for you.
