About Iodine
Iodine is an essential trace element that plays a crucial role in maintaining overall health, particularly in relation to the thyroid gland.
-
Thyroid Function: Iodine is a key component of thyroid hormones, which are essential for regulating metabolism, energy production, and the proper functioning of various organs. Insufficient iodine intake can lead to thyroid disorders, such as hypothyroidism or goiter.
-
Brain Development: Iodine is vital during pregnancy and early childhood for proper brain development and cognitive function. Adequate maternal iodine intake is crucial to prevent developmental issues in the baby's brain.
-
Immune System Support: Iodine has been shown to have antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal properties, which can help support the immune system's ability to fight infections.
-
Antioxidant Properties: Iodine may have antioxidant effects, helping to protect cells from oxidative stress and potentially reducing the risk of chronic diseases.
-
Radiation Protection: Iodine can be used to protect the thyroid gland from radioactive iodine exposure, which can occur during nuclear accidents or events.
-
Dietary Supplementation: Iodine deficiency can have serious health implications. Iodine supplements are available to address deficiencies and support thyroid health, especially in areas with low iodine intake.

Why Should I Supplement With Vitamins D and K with Sea-Iodine™?
Customer: To me, there's nothing better than being outside on a really nice day. Whether I'm working in my garden or taking a walk with my family, we all love the outdoors. But during my last checkup, the doctor noticed that I wasn't getting enough vitamin D.
Michael A. Smith, MD: From your brain to your heart, your bones to your immune system, vitamin D affects nearly every cell in your body and is critical for optimal health. Even if you spend a lot of time outdoors, your body may not be producing enough of this important vitamin. In fact, studies show that people are really low in vitamin D—and that's why doctors are recommending it to their patients more than ever.
Customer: So, my body needs more vitamin D, but there are all these different doses and options. How can I decide which is best for me?
Michael A. Smith, MD: Like all of our products, Life Extension’s Vitamin D3 is made with the highest quality standards. We recommend taking 5,000 international units a day, but we offer doses ranging from 1,000 to 7,000 units depending on your vitamin D blood level. Be sure to check with your doctor to see which one is right for you. We also offer Vitamins D and K with Sea-Iodine™ for a complete vitamin D formulation.
Customer: Three weeks in, and vitamin D has really made an impact on my whole life. I have more energy and overall, I feel for lack of a better word…sunnier.
Your skin produces vitamin D when in direct sunlight, but you should not get your vitamin D from unprotected sun exposure or indoor tanning devices because of the potential effects on skin health.
Iodine is a trace element essential for the production of thyroid hormones, and vitamin K is an essential nutrient that promotes both arterial and bone health.
Iodine is essential for thyroid health
Iodine is a trace element necessary for the production of the thyroid hormones triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4). Iodine is abundant in seafood and sea vegetables, but not everyone likes or has access to marine foods, and vegan diets sometimes lack adequate iodine.
Commercial salt makers add iodine to table salt to make up for this potential deficiency. However, we now know the health risks of eating too much salt, so health-conscious people may miss out on an easy source of iodine. Vitamins D and K with Sea-Iodine™ delivers 1,000 mcg of iodine to support healthy iodine levels.
Vitamin K1 and two different types of K2
Vitamin K helps inhibit calcium buildup in your arteries while promoting healthy calcium absorption into your bone matrix. K1 is the most common form of vitamin K in the diet, coming primarily from leafy green vegetables—though vitamin K1 isn’t well absorbed from these foods.
Vitamin K2 is found in cheese, eggs and fermented soybeans. It has been shown to be more bioavailable than K1 and to remain active in the body far longer. The MK-4 and MK-7 forms of vitamin K2 also provide important benefits but have different tissue distributions and bioavailability, so it’s important to take both. This formula contains both forms of vitamin K2.
Vitamin D3 for cognitive, bone and immune health
Healthy serum vitamin D levels have been shown to correspond with better cognitive function. Vitamin D, along with vitamin K and essential minerals, is necessary for facilitating the transport of calcium into the bone matrix for strong, healthy bones and teeth. Vitamin D also plays a critical role in healthy immune function.
Some people may need 125 mcg (5,000 IU) to 200 mcg (8,000 IU) of vitamin D3 a day to achieve healthy blood levels of vitamin D. If your multivitamin already delivers 25-75 mcg (1,000–3,000 IU) of vitamin D, adding Vitamins D and K with Sea-Iodine™ may help achieve healthy vitamin D levels.
Vitamin D3 for heart health and blood pressure support
Vitamin D promotes a healthy inflammatory response, supports cardiovascular health and encourages healthy endothelial function. Vitamin D also helps inhibit excess renin levels. Healthy renin levels help maintain healthy blood pressure already within the normal range.
Getting enough vitamins D and K and iodine
This vitamin D3 supplement delivers 125 mcg (5,000 IU) of vitamin D3 as cholecalciferol per capsule. We suggest that you take a 25-hydroxy vitamin D blood test after 3 months to assess and adjust your dosage. Your optimal blood levels should be 50–80 ng/ml year-round.
Ensure you get enough of these three essential nutrients with Vitamins D and K with Sea-Iodine™.

Supports healthy levels of this essential nutrient for thyroid health and beyond
Iodine is an essential, health-promoting trace element. Its primary biological role lies in supporting the production of thyroid hormones. Sea-Iodine™ provides 1,000 mcg of this essential element.
What Is Sea Iodine?
Iodine is a health-promoting trace element essential for life and usually ingested by consuming table salt. But many people avoid salt for health reasons. Sea-Iodine™ provides 1,000 mcg of this essential element, without upping your salt intake. Promote thyroid health and beyond with Sea-Iodine™.
Sea-Iodine™ uses ingredients harvested from a blend of organic marine algae to support healthy iodine levels.
Sea-Iodine™ Benefits
- Essential for thyroid health support
- Supports healthy iodine levels, without salt
- Convenient way to get your daily iodine intake
Trace Element Essential For Life
Iodine supports the production of two important thyroid hormones, triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4). A healthy thyroid gland not only acts as your body’s thermostat, but it’s also one of the major maintainers of metabolism, including supporting fat burning for energy. Sea-Iodine™ proprietary formula helps health-conscious individuals support optimal iodine levels, without the salt.
Important for thyroid health support
Iodine is a health-promoting trace element essential for life. Its primary biological role lies in the production of the thyroid hormones triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4).1 T4 and T3 contain four and three atoms of iodine per molecule, respectively. The thyroid gland actively absorbs iodide from the blood to make and release these hormones into the blood.
Get your iodine, without the salt
For decades, Americans have been told to avoid table salt. But when iodized table salt is reduced, people can unknowingly lower their iodine intake to suboptimal levels.
The good news is that you can avoid iodized table salt without sacrificing the health benefits of iodine. Sea-Iodine™ is a low-cost proprietary formula that health-conscious individuals can take each day to support optimal iodine levels. Using ingredients harvested from a blend of organic marine algae, Sea-Iodine™ brings you the health of the sea while avoiding excessive salt intake. The algae found in Sea-Iodine™ provide you with over 667% of the Recommended Daily Value of iodine.
Abundant in sea vegetation
Iodine happens to be found abundantly in sea vegetables and plants. In areas where no marine foods are eaten, people often have lower iodine levels. For this reason, U.S. commercial salt makers have long added iodine to deliver this key ingredient to your diet. However, we now know the concerns associated with eating too much table salt, which resurrects the dilemma of where to get healthy sources of iodine.
Ironically, health-conscious people are often the most likely to have low iodine levels. One reason is that athletes and people engaged in heavy physical effort deplete their healthy stores of this trace mineral through perspiration. Vegetarians and vegans also have a substantially greater likelihood of low levels of iodine than those who eat animal products. One study demonstrated iodine deficiency in 25% of vegetarians and an incredible 80% of vegans.
