Understanding the different sources of iodine is key to reaping its nutritional benefits. Iodine is an essential nutrient in the diet, and one that is increasingly lacking globally. A report from the Iodine Global Network cites an EU funded project that concludes “Europe is an iodine deficient continent”.¹

PureSea® gold-standard seaweed, offered through LEHVOSS Nutrition, is an ideal natural source of iodine and provides numerous approved health claims linked to the source of essential iodine. Independent clinical trials have shown that synthetic potassium iodide releases iodine into the system quickly, resulting in a spike in iodine levels. By contrast, natural foods like seaweed have iodine bound into fibres, allowing it to be broken down and released more slowly. It is believed that, a more consistent, sustained release of iodine is beneficial as it allows your body to absorb and utilise the iodine more efficiently.

Greenshell Mussel Powder has gained an excellent reputation in the joint-care market place over the last 20 years but, a recent article written by Professor Alexander Tups from Department of Physiology and Centre for Neuroendocrinology, University of Otago, explains how some commercially available, green-lipped mussel products are a defatted version of whole, green-lipped mussel powder in which the oil (rich in omega 3 fatty acids) is extracted for human consumption.

According to his knowledge these ingredients, even if offered at a more attractive price, do not contain high quantities of the bioactive fatty acids and have not been extensively tested and validated in veterinary or human trials.

Knowing exactly where to buy from is key and we can ensure this at LEHVOSS Nutrition.
