These hormones are crucial for a properly functioning thyroid gland.The thyroid gland absorbs iodine from the blood and stores it in the glycoprotein thyroglobulin. When the body needs more thyroid hormones, this protein is broken down, and T3 and T4 are released into the bloodstream.In specific tissues, such as the liver and brain, T4 is converted to T3 by selenium-containing enzymes (iodothyronine deiodinases). T3 is the biologically active form of the hormone and binds to thyroid receptors in the cell nucleus. Thyroid hormones thus control numerous processes in the body, including growth, development, and energy metabolism.Composition of Altisa Jodium-Iode 220 mcg: Each capsule contains:Iodine (potassium iodide) 220 mcgIngredients of Altisa Jodium-Iode 220 mcg: Thickener: gum arabic; hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (capsule); potassium iodide.Composition of Altisa Jodium-Iode 220 mcg: Take 1 capsule per day, unless otherwise advised by your health professional.Preferably take with a meal and plenty of water.Do not exceed the daily dose.A varied, balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle are important.Altisa nutritional supplements are not a substitute for a healthy lifestyle and a balanced diet, but can be a useful addition.
