Iodine is an essential mineral that the body needs but cannot make, and New Zealand soils are naturally low in it. It is found in seafood, seaweed, dairy and iodised salt, and is also available as a supplement. Our iodine range includes iodine tablets and capsules, kelp supplements, potassium iodide and liquid drops, as well as multivitamins and pregnancy and breastfeeding formulas that contain iodine, from trusted brands.

Compare the amount of iodine per serve, shown in micrograms (mcg), and check how much iodine you are getting from all of your supplements combined. More is not better, and too much iodine can be as unhelpful as too little. Iodine may not suit people with thyroid conditions or those taking thyroid medication, and needs are different during pregnancy and breastfeeding, so check with your doctor, midwife or pharmacist before use, particularly if you take medication or have a medical condition.
