Everyone knows what iodine is. People treat it with an alcohol solution of scratches and wounds. However, there is another iodine that is used for internal use.
The element enters the body with water and food and is involved in the synthesis of thyroid hormones, the functions of which largely depend on the presence of this component. Hormones affect the functioning of the brain, the activity of the nervous system, mammary and genital glands, without which the normal development and growth of the child is inconceivable.
The main cause of hormonal disorders is iodine deficiency, which does not have a pronounced external nature and is called "hidden hunger." Most often, children suffer from a lack of iodine , which makes it difficult to study at school, to perceive new knowledge.
To eliminate these gaps, there is "Iodine-Active", which is a drug prescribed for a deficiency in the body of the element of the same name. The pharmaceutical agent has found wide application in modern medicine. It is used to combat many diseases of the thyroid gland. Another medicine is used to treat the backlog of physical or mental development of the child. In many cases, "Iodine Active" is prescribed for pregnant or lactating mothers. The drug will also help people exposed to radiation. A person living in an area with an unfavorable environmental situation will also benefit from the beneficial properties of this drug.
There are some limitations to using the medication. It can not be used by those who have an individual intolerance to the components of the drug. And its composition includes milk protein and organic compounds of iodine. The drug "Iodine-Active" is an organic compound of ordinary iodine, the atoms of which are embedded in a milk protein molecule . For the first time, the idea of combining it with iodine to promote health was expressed by Pavel Florensky, a clergyman and Russian scientist.
This medicine can be considered a close analogue of breast milk, the first drops of which a person receives after his birth.
The uniqueness of the drug lies in the fact that with a deficiency of the substance “Iodine Active” is perfectly absorbed, with an excess of iodine it is excreted from the human body and does not enter the thyroid gland. This phenomenon is possible due to the elimination of iodine under the influence of liver enzymes produced when it is deficient from milk protein. When the amount of iodine in the body is in sufficient quantity, the production of enzymes stops, and iodine is not absorbed into the bloodstream and is excreted naturally.
The medicine was developed by the scientific center of medical radiology to solve the problem of iodine deficiency and is recommended for people suffering from a lack of substance, as an additional source of iodine. When creating the medicine, a unique long-term experience in the prevention and treatment of thyroid pathologies and hypothyroidism, including those that occurred after the Chernobyl accident, was taken into account.
"Iodine Active": instructions for use
According to the instructions of doctors, adults are recommended to take the drug in the amount of one or two tablets per day. An important point is the condition for taking the medication before the meal itself. Children are prescribed one tablet per day. The duration of treatment with "Iodine-Asset" is 3-4 weeks. Then a week-long break is made, and the course of treatment is repeated again.
There are various analogues of this medicine. For example, "Iodomarin", which, unlike the drug "Iodine-Active", is a biologically active substance and has slightly different functions. If you have a question what to take, "Iodine-Active" or "Iodomarin", you should contact your endocrinologist.
