Collosol Iodine Oral

Uses
Collosol Iodine Oral (Colloidal Iodine) contains iodine, which is essential for the thyroid gland if it is to produce hormones. Insufficient iodine levels may result in a goiter (enlarged thyroid gland), which can trigger symptoms such as a swollen neck, as well as low thyroid hormone levels. Other potential problems related to iodine deficiency include autoimmune diseases affecting the thyroid and a higher than normal risk of thyroid cancer.

As the thyroid gland is responsible for a wide range of functions in the body, including metabolism, problems affecting the thyroid can have a significant effect on the health, and for this reason, it is essential that any conditions are treated quickly and effectively.
