About Prolamine Iodine Plus By Standard Process

Prolamine Iodine Plus is a thyroid support supplement containing 3000 mcg (3mg) of iodine for short-term use in people who may need high dose of iodine.*

  • Prolamine Iodine Plus is a thyroid support supplement containing 3000 mcg (3mg) of iodine for short-term use in people who may need high dose of iodine.*
  • Contains organic kelp — a whole food source of iodine
  • Contains 3 mg of iodine, the most in any of our iodine products
  • Prolamine iodine (zein) is the main source of iodine in this product. The iodine is prepared as a Lugol’s solution of 2:1, potassium iodide (KI) : iodine (I2). This aqueous solution creates a unique triiodide form (KI3) which forms stable bonds with both starch and protein in organic corn meal from the Standard Process farm.

Main Benefits of Prolamine Iodine Plus by Standard Process: 

  • Support for thyroid health: Prolamine Iodine Plus provides a bioavailable form of iodine, which is an essential nutrient for thyroid function. Adequate iodine intake may help support healthy thyroid hormone synthesis, which is important for regulating metabolism, energy production, and other bodily processes.
  • Immune system support: Iodine is also important for immune system function, and some studies have suggested that iodine supplementation may enhance immune responses to certain pathogens.
  • Cognitive support: Iodine is important for brain development and cognitive function, and iodine deficiency has been linked to cognitive impairments. Adequate iodine intake may help support healthy cognitive function.
  • Breast health support: Iodine has been found to concentrate in breast tissue, and some studies have suggested that iodine supplementation may help support breast health.
  • Energy and vitality support: Because iodine is important for healthy thyroid function, which plays a role in energy production and metabolism, adequate iodine intake may help support overall energy and vitality levels. 

Dr. Candy and Other Practitioners Use Prolamine Iodine Plus For:

  • Hypothyroidism: Hypothyroidism is a condition in which the thyroid gland doesn't produce enough thyroid hormone. Iodine is an essential nutrient for thyroid hormone synthesis, so iodine supplementation may help support healthy thyroid function in individuals with hypothyroidism.
  • Goiter: A goiter is an enlargement of the thyroid gland, which can be caused by iodine deficiency. Adequate iodine intake may help prevent and treat goiter.
  • Breast health issues: As mentioned earlier, iodine concentrates in breast tissue, and some studies have suggested that iodine supplementation may help support healthy breast tissue and prevent breast-related health issues.
  • Cognitive impairment: Iodine deficiency has been linked to cognitive impairments, so adequate iodine intake may help support healthy cognitive function.
  • Immune system issues: Iodine is important for immune system function, and some studies have suggested that iodine supplementation may enhance immune responses to certain pathogens. Adequate iodine intake may help support overall immune system health.

I take this for thyroid support. I have hypothyroidism and it seems I need less medication when I take this iodine with it. Highly recommend! Ran out while camping for the winter and my thyroid got out of whack and had to call dr to get meds raised. When I got home I ordered it and started taking again and now my meds need lowered. Great product!

Didn't need toxic levothyroxine to heal my thyroid. Truly, I was iodine deficient. The doctor strongly disagreed. However I tried it anyway without her knowledge, when she retested me, my thyroid issues were completely gone. Now I only take when needed. Ps it took 2 per day for 1 week then 1 per day for 2 months and done. My hair stopped falling out, I stopped crying all the time, my nerves settled down.

My Dr. Recommended Standard Process Prolamine Iodine for painful breast which addressed the issue.. Iodine also can inhibits cancer. If you need extra iodine besides what is found in salt this product could help keep your level steady. Everyone’s chemistry is different so please check with your doctor before you take it.
