Iodine is necessary for a human like air and water; biologically, healthy human being without iodine is impossible. According to the atricle at the American Thyroid Association website, the Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for iodine in adult men and women is 150 μg per day. The RDA is 220 μg iodine per day for pregnant women and 290 μg iodine per day for breastfeeding women.
The signs of the law level of iodine in the body range from chronic fatigue and gaining extra weight to such serious problems as goiter, hypothyroidism and pregnancy-related problems. According to the article in the Natural Medicine journal: “Iodine deficiency may be a hidden risk factor for cancer development and/or progression.”
The main source of iodine is food; and some food are rich of iodine. Iodized salt is considered a panacea for solving iodine deficiency problems. However, the iodine level in it decreases during storage and preparing food.
In addition, some people need to restrict dietary salt intake because of high blood pressure and/or chronic kidney disease and may be more at risk of iodine deficiency.
The inventors of Jodis-Concentrate utilized the polymer properties of water and using a special technology, technological patent PCT/UA99/00020 (WO 00/35815, Geneva, Switzerland), created a high biological active associate of mineral water and iodine, concentrate, (V.N. Melnychenko about the product «Jodis-Concentrate») that characterized by positive effect on iodine balance in a human body and absence of side effects after intake (The list of clinical studies, research works and product evaluations under the trade mark “Jodis”) .
Because iodine in Jodis-Concentrate is resistant to storage and heat treatment, is possible to use it in the bread, milk and meat production. Jodis-Concentrate increases the absorption of vitamins and minerals by 30%. Most importantly, Jodis-Concentrate not only restores the iodine status of a person, but also has a therapeutic effect.
More than 15 years Jodis-Concentrate is consumed by people of many countries in the world including Norway, Israel, Poland, the Baltic countries, the former CIS, Turkey, China, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Germany and others. It is certified in Ukraine, Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Lithuania, Latvia, Moldova, Bulgaria. It has patents of Russia, Great Britain and Ukraine.
