Eniva's water-soluble Potassium Iodide can help to promote the healthy functioning of the thyroid gland and conditioning your thyroid for efficient uptake of iodine. In the event of contamination, if you have a properly functioning thyroid, it will take less time for a highly concentrated form of potassium iodide to fully saturate your thyroid, thus preventing the absorption of harmful radioactive iodine. It would be similar to watering your lawn. If you sprinkle it on a regular basis, the grass has a good, moist base. It doesn't take much at the next watering to saturate it. If you let your lawn turn dry and brown, it will take many waterings and a very long time before it returns to a moist, healthy state; and even worse, may not have the ability to absorb water when it needs the moisture most. The bottom line is: the healthier your thyroid, the better your chances of survival in an attack or accident.

Minimizing Radiation Damage - Protect Your Thyroid

Nuclear activity produces many radioactive substances that can harm people. One such substance - radioactive iodine - poses a particular threat because the human thyroid gland rapidly absorbs and uses iodine as a fundamental building block to maintain life. This vital gland, located on either side of the middle of your neck, is very important for producing hormones that influence nearly every organ, every tissue and every cell in your body. Thyroid hormones regulate the body's metabolism and organ function, affecting heart rate, cholesterol levels, body weight, energy levels, and muscle strength. The thyroid also controls your temperature, skin conditions, menstrual regularity, memory and even bowel function. Your thyroid is critical to your overall health, and without proper function, puts your entire body at risk!
