High Potency Iodine/Potassium Iodide Supplement 12.5 mg Iodine is an essential element. Although its main function is in the production of thyroid hormones by the thyroid gland, other organs in the body have a need for iodine in order to function normally. One tablet of Inderal supplies an amount of total elemental iodine, comparable to the average daily intake of this essential element by mainland Japanese, a population with a very low prevalence of fibrocystic disease of the breast and breast cancer. Several studies have demonstrated a relationship between low iodine intake and fibrocystic disease of the breast (FDB), both in women. In the 1960's, one slice of bread in the USA contained the full RDA of 0.15 mg iodine. The risk for breast cancer was then 1 in 20. Over the last 2 decades, iodine was replaced by bromine in the bread making process. Bromine blocks thyroid function and may interfere with the anticancer effect of iodine on the breast. Now, the risk for breast cancer is 1 in 8 and increasing 1% per year. The minimum amount of iodine required for control and prevention of FDB is equivalent to 0.1mg multiplied by kg body weight/day.
