Iodine Deficiency Urine Test

A lack of sufficient iodine in the soil in which our foods are grown is a global issue. Even with iodised table salt, it can be difficult to consume enough of the trace element. Therefore, personalised testing of iodine levels is recommended. With the Cerascreen® iodine deficiency test, you can determine the concentration of iodine per gram of creatinine in your urine, which allows you to recognise a possible excess or deficiency and take targeted action to correct it.

Digital results report from the laboratory explaining the interpretation of the values and recommended steps for maintaining sufficient iodine levels in the body.

How the iodine test works:

Detection of the iodine concentration in the urine. The amount of iodine excreted by the body is measured; the lower the concentration, the greater the deficiency. This test is particularly important for those pregnant and breastfeeding, who should maintain an adequate iodine supply at all times.
