Composition
- Sucrosomial® Iodine — sodium iodate (1% iodine)
Overview
UltraIod® is an innovative functional ingredient containing Sucrosomial® Iodine with sodium iodate (1% iodine), providing good absorption and adequate iodine intake.
Iodine is essential for the synthesis of thyroid hormones (T3 and T4), thermogenesis, carbohydrate metabolism, protein synthesis and cardiovascular functions.
The recommended daily intake of iodine is 150 µg for adults and up to 200 µg during pregnancy and breastfeeding. After absorption in the small intestine, it is carried as iodide via the plasma to the thyroid and other tissues.
Applications
Sucrosomial® Iodine is suitable for a very wide range of products and applications.
Key features
Sucrosomial® Technology is an innovative delivery system that increases the absorption and tolerability of micro- and macroelements. It allows active ingredients to pass through the gastric and intestinal environment without interacting with the mucosa or other nutrients; absorption takes place at the enteric level and the substance passes directly into the bloodstream.
Improved absorption: Better absorbed by the body than traditional forms.
Excellent tolerability: Minimizes the side effects commonly associated with mineral supplements.
Reduced interaction: Lowers the interaction between minerals and other active ingredients.
Neutral taste: Provides a neutral taste that enhances consumer compliance.
EFSA-approved health claims relating to iodine intake: Iodine contributes to the normal production of thyroid hormones and normal thyroid function. Iodine contributes to normal cognitive function.
Mechanism of action
Sucrosomial® Technology encloses iodine in a matrix of phospholipids and sucrose esters.
This structure allows the mineral to pass through the gastric and intestinal environment without interacting with the mucosa or other nutrients. Absorption takes place at the enteric level and the mineral enters the bloodstream directly.
After absorption, iodine is carried in the form of iodide via the plasma to the thyroid and other tissues, where it is used in the synthesis of the thyroid hormones T3 and T4.
