    _____________________________________________
    This new test was developed to simplify the collection and testing for Iodine in a dried urine sample. Unlike other iodine evaluations that use a 24 hour urine sample, this test uses two separate home urine collections much like a pregnancy test. There is no lab visit or iodine consumption required to get an accurate result.

    Iodine plays many different roles in optimizing health and preventing disease. As a result, it is essential that proper iodine intake is maintained and problems associated with either inadequate or excessive iodine levels are identified.

    Deficiency in particular has become a global health problem. Accurate diagnosis may often be overlooked because the symptoms overlap with those of other illnesses, perhaps masking the problem.

    Maintaining optimal iodine levels through consumption of iodine containing foods, salt, or supplements is essential for optimal thyroid hormone production.

    The World Health Organization (WHO), Centers for Disease Control (CDC), and other international organizations that study iodine nutritional status of world populations, unanimously agree and recommend, for non pregnant adults, consumption of 150 μg of iodine daily for optimal thyroid function and have set 1,100 μg as the upper level of tolerance.
