Product Information
A small mineral with a big everyday job
Iodine is a trace mineral your body cannot make for itself, and yet it sits behind some of its most important everyday work. With soils and diets increasingly short on it, a clean, absorbable source has earned its place in a lot of daily routines. This is potassium iodide, a simple salt that delivers iodine in a form the body takes up readily.
Iodine and your thyroid
The thyroid is iodine’s headline job. That small gland quietly governs energy, metabolism and mood, and it simply cannot do its work without enough iodine. A steady, sensible daily source is a direct, no-fuss way to support healthy thyroid function.
Energy that does not sag
Because a well-nourished thyroid underpins so much of how energetic you feel, many people reach for a daily iodine source to support steady energy and ease that flat, run-down feeling. It is foundational nutritional support rather than a stimulant or a quick lift.
Everyday support for skin and hair
Iodine plays a part in healthy cellular function across the body, the quiet kind of support that also shows up in skin, hair and nails. Taken consistently, it is the sort of background nourishment that adds up over time.
Sensible dosing, and an iodine note
This is a concentrated source of iodine, so more is not better. Stick to the recommended drops, and if you have a thyroid condition, take thyroid medication, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or have kidney concerns, check with your healthcare practitioner first. Keep it out of reach of children.
Who makes it
A clean, simple formula made locally in South Africa by Dr. Hester van der Merwe, a registered health practitioner, who uses it with the people in her own practice. The full detail is under Supplement Information.

FAQ
Most frequent questions and answers
How do I take it?
Once a day: 2 drops for adults, taken in water or applied on the skin with castor oil, or 1 drop a day for children applied on the skin. Stick to the recommended dose, since this is a concentrated source of iodine.
What is in it?
Just potassium iodide, a clean and absorbable source of iodine, with no fillers. The full detail is under Supplement Information.
How is it different from the Lugol's Iodine?
Both are iodine sources. Lugol's is the classic combined iodine and potassium iodide solution; this is the straight potassium iodide option. If you are unsure which suits you, ask us.
Why does iodine matter?
It is an essential mineral the body cannot make, and the thyroid needs it to function. Since the thyroid sits behind energy, metabolism and mood, a steady, sensible iodine intake matters more than most people realise.
Can I take too much?
Yes, which is why we say stick to the dose. More is not better with iodine. If you have a thyroid condition or take thyroid medication, check with your healthcare practitioner before starting.
Are there any side effects?
It is well tolerated at the recommended dose. Excess iodine can affect the thyroid, so do not over-do it, and check with your practitioner if you are unsure or managing a health condition.
How soon will I notice anything?
Nutritional support is gradual, so give it consistent daily use over a few weeks rather than expecting a same-day change.
Who makes it?
It is supplied by Dr. Hester van der Merwe, a registered health practitioner, and made locally in South Africa.
