Iodine Test

About this test

Key Benefits

Gain insight into your iodine levels and how they may influence thyroid function and overall health.

Simple At-Home Testing: Collect your sample easily using a urine test, no clinic visit needed.

Thyroid Health Insight: Understand whether your iodine levels support normal production of T3 and T4 hormones.

Identify Imbalances: Helps detect potential iodine deficiency or excess.

Support Better Decisions: Provides information to guide dietary and lifestyle choices.

What This Test Measures

This test measures iodine levels in urine, providing insight into your body’s iodine status.

Iodine is essential for the production of thyroid hormones T3 (triiodothyronine) and T4 (thyroxine), which regulate metabolism and support many processes in the body. Both low and high iodine levels may increase the risk of thyroid imbalance.

Low iodine levels may be associated with symptoms such as fatigue, weight gain, sensitivity to cold, constipation, and low mood.

Biomarkers included

• Iodine: The iodine (I) level is a measure of the body’s supply of a vital mineral essential for thyroid health. Iodine plays a key role in the production of thyroid hormones, which regulate metabolism, growth, and energy production. While iodine is naturally found in seafood, dairy, and some grains, deficiency is common, particularly in regions with iodine-poor soil. Insufficient iodine can lead to thyroi
• Creatinine: Creatinine is a waste product formed in muscles from the normal breakdown of creatine. It is released into the bloodstream and filtered by the kidneys, then excreted in urine. Because creatinine levels are influenced by how efficiently the kidneys filter blood, it is commonly used to assess kidney function. Elevated creatinine may indicate reduced kidney filtration or kidney disease, while low lev

How to prepare

High-dose iodine supplements or iodine-containing medications can affect results. Consult your healthcare provider before altering regimens. Follow all collection instructions carefully.
