If testing has determined that you are iodine deficient, this test will confirm whether toxic elements fluoride and bromide are blocking and/or displacing iodine uptake in the body.

Found in many public water supplies, high levels of fluoride in the body can lead to severe health problems including Arthritis, osteoporosis, ADHD, Hypothyroidism, dental problems, infertility, and low serotonin and melatonin levels.

A hidden ingredient in many soft drinks, bromide is a carcinogen that removes iodine from the body's tissues. Excessive bromide in the body can cause symptoms that cover many medical specialties: psychiatry, neurology, gastroenterology, and dermatology.

In the privacy of your home, two urine sample vials are filled from a 24 hour urine collection, taken after ingesting a loading dose of iodine (50 mg from Iodoral) to push fluoride and bromide out of the tissues. The urine samples are sent to the laboratory. Results are sent to Dr. Ann Louise Gittleman's office, after which you will receive a copy of the results and a personalized letter of recommendations.

Suggested repeat testing is two to three months.

Contains: Instructions for sample collection and submittal form, cup to catch urine, 2 small specimen bottles, a 3 liter collection container, small box with a pre-paid FedEx mailing label.
