Iodine is a difficult element to get naturally in the diet, which is why much of the world has addressed iodine deficiency by fortifying foods and providing iodized salt – but iodine deficiency is present in about 20% of the population. This nutritional element is essential for synthesizing thyroid hormones, immune function, and tissue health. Therefore, its deficiency may contribute to hypothyroidism, goiter, pregnancy complications, and decreased IQ in children. Even moderate deficiency has been linked with breast cancer risk and infertility.
ZRT's Iodine dried urine panel is a morning and night urine collection on filter paper. This is equivalent to a 24-hour collection but eliminates the hassles of all-day jug urine collection. Dried strips are shelf-stable for 30 days and easy to mail back to the lab for analysis.
This is a single-marker test measuring iodine.
