About Prolamine Iodine By Standard Process

Prolamine Iodine is a 600 mcg iodine supplement that supports healthy iodine levels and provides healthy thyroid support.*

  • Designed to support healthy serum iodine levels*
  • For patients who may need higher iodine dose, consider Prolamine Iodine Plus

Processing of IodineThe prolamine iodine (zein) ingredient in Prolamine Iodine is manufactured as a Lugol’s solution of 2:1, potassium iodide (KI) : iodine (I2). This yields a form (KI3) that creates stable bonds with starch and protein from organic corn meal that is grown at the Standard Process certified organic farm.

Main Benefits of Prolamine Iodine by Standard Process: 

  • Support for thyroid health: Prolamine Iodine 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 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.
