Pure Encapsulations Iodine + Tyrosine 60 Capsules is a food supplement that combines iodine with the amino acid L-tyrosine in a vegetarian capsule. Iodine contributes to the normal production of thyroid hormones and normal thyroid function, and each capsule provides 225 µg of iodine (150% of the nutrient reference value). One capsule a day, taken with a meal, keeps the routine simple.

Key Features

• Iodine as potassium iodide: Each capsule provides 225 µg of iodine, which is 150% of the nutrient reference value (NRV).
• Added L-tyrosine: Each capsule also contains 500 mg of free-form L-tyrosine, an amino acid. No nutrition or health claim is authorised for tyrosine, so the thyroid claim applies to the iodine only.
• One capsule a day: The recommended intake is 1 capsule daily with a meal, so a 60 capsule pack covers 60 days.
• Vegetarian capsule: The capsule shell is made from hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, a plant-based material.
