Description of Iodine Test

Why is Iodine Important?

  • Iodine is crucial for thyroid function and conversion of tyrosine to thyroid hormone.
  • It's needed for the body's cells, hormone production, muscles, and brain.
  • Iodine deficiency can lead to serious health problems, especially in women and children.

How Does the Iodine Test Work?

When the body has sufficient levels of iodine, the excess is excreted through urine. Our iodine test measures the amount of iodine per gram of creatinine in urine, giving you insight into any deficiency.

How to Take the Iodine Test?

The test is easy to perform at home. You'll receive a test kit delivered to your home after ordering. Collect your urine sample and send it to our lab for analysis. Your result will be delivered digitally.

Notice

A deficiency in thyroid hormone doesn't always mean a deficiency in iodine, but iodine deficiency always leads to thyroid problems.
