Providing the right nutrition for cognitive development and function is critical from foetal growth and all the way through life. Did you know that iodine is an essential nutrient supporting cognitive health?

Research shows that access to iodine in the diet was key to the evolution of the modern human brain as humans started to consume sources of iodine from seaweed and seafood 2.5million years ago, previously having very limited iodine intake.

This need for iodine in cognitive function remains essential today. However, 50% of Europeans have issues of iodine deficiency, and the UK has levels of up 70% deficiency in some age groups.

Seaweeds offer the only natural, vegan source of iodine. PureSea® seaweed ingredients are standardised to iodine, which allows health claims relating to iodine support to normal thyroid function and cognitive health.

Global focus on immunity has never been stronger as the COVID-19 pandemic continues to wreak havoc across the globe.

Last April, NutritionInsight took a closer look at how zinc has emerged as a so-called hot ingredient on the market, thanks to its contribution to both the innate and adaptive immune systems, which are the body’s first and second lines of defence, respectively (full article here).

During the interview, we mentioned that although there was no proof that zinc could address the fight of COVID-19, most of our customers were likely to include zinc in their formulations because of the approved EFSA claim related to the maintenance of the normal function of the immune system.

“Optimal Nutritional Status for a Well-Functioning Immune System Is an Important Factor to Protect against Viral Infections” is the title of the review published last April in the Journal Nutrients. The review highlights a wealth of clinical data, which demonstrates that vitamins A, B6, B12, C, D, E, folate, zinc, iron, selenium, magnesium, copper and the omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA play important and complementary roles in supporting the immune system. It also mentions that, inadequate intake and status of these nutrients are widespread, leading to a decrease in resistance to infections and as a consequence an increase in disease burden.

In particular, the review highlights three main points:

Our partner Golden Omega is the only producer of omega-3 concentrates strategically located in the middle of the richest fishing ground for anchovy in the world (South Pacific Ocean).

Anchovies from the South Pacific Ocean naturally contain a high level of EPA and DHA in their fat (normally around 25-30%), and live a very short life (around 15 to 18 months) compared to other fish species. Thus, they accumulate less contaminants or heavy metals naturally present in the waters.

Another key value proposition for our partner Golden Omega is the development and implementation of effective technology and innovation in the world of the omega-3 fatty acids.

Gut health is an important contributor to general health, with well-established links to immunity and brain health. Products are formulated to directly address specific aspects of gut health, and other aspects of general health via action on the gut. This has resulted in the gut health market becoming increasingly sophisticated and diverse. Although probiotics and pre-biotics dominate public consciousness in the gut health market, several other nutrients could also provide benefits. Furthermore, many of these compounds support gut health via different mechanisms of action to pre and probiotics, providing another dimension for the formulation of gut health products¹.

Iodine is an essential nutrient required throughout life. It has to be obtained through diet, and, during pregnancy and breast feeding, it is said to be needed in higher levels, being essential for normal foetal and child development. This is supported by evidence which demonstrates that iodine deficiencies can impact the cognitive health and development of children and can result in a lowered IQ and, in severe cases, cretinism.

With numerous countries across the World having deficiencies in iodine, particularly amongst young girls and women, we explore the only natural good vegan source of iodine – seaweed, and its importance, especially in light of the recent UK’s National Diet and Nutrition Survey data reports on the eating habits of the younger generation.
