Who Will Benefit From Hivita Daily D + Iodine

• Individuals with underactive thyroid glands, especially those with goitre, who are likely to be iodine deficient and need supplementation. Urinary iodine analysis will confirm deficiency and appropriate supplementation recommendations can then be made.
• Those with enlarged thyroids and normal thyroid hormone output is usually iodine deficient as the gland enlarges to trap more iodine for the bloodstream when dietary intake is low
• Those who have minimal sunshine exposure or are on a low-fat diet, which heightens the risk of Vitamin D deficiency. One of the symptoms of Vitamin D deficiency is increased susceptibility to infections. Vitamin D may therefore help to support healthy immune function
• Individuals who have an allergy to seafood, or who live far from coastal areas (where seafood is commonly consumed), and usually have iodine deficiency
• Those who have a high intake of dietary cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, brussels sprouts) which causes iodine uptake to be blocked from other food sources in the same meal
• Those wanting to support the body’s ability to maintain healthy bone metabolism. Vitamin D is a steroid prohormone, which encourages the absorption and metabolism of calcium and phosphorous, essential for bone formation and optimal bone health throughout life.
