Iodine Insufficiency FAQ

Flechas JD

"Iodine can also be concentrated in the stomach tissue, and the lack of iodine in the stomach manifests as achlorhydria (lack of digestive acid production). Iodine is used by the stomach cells, also known as parietal cells, to concentrate chloride which is necessary to produce hydrochloric acid (digestive acid). With the prolonged presence of achlorhydria, there is a much higher incidence of stomach cancer."

Flechas, JD.

"We have had patients note better bowel function. Patients who have been constipated for over ten years have now noted daily bowel movements."
