Pharmacological Action

Jodomarin 200 is an iodine supplement used in the treatment and prevention of thyroid disorders. Iodine is a vital micronutrient essential for normal thyroid function. Thyroid hormones regulate crucial bodily functions, including metabolism (proteins, fats, carbohydrates, and energy), brain function, nervous system, cardiovascular system, reproductive and mammary glands, and child growth and development. Jodomarin 200 replenishes iodine deficiency, preventing iodine deficiency disorders and promoting normal thyroid function. This is particularly important for children, adolescents, pregnant women, and breastfeeding mothers.
