Lugol’s Iodine 50ml
R175.00
Lugol’s iodine solution (typically 5% iodine and 10% potassium iodide) is a classic formulation used medically for nearly 200 years. It’s a valuable home addition when used carefully, mainly for thyroid support and as an antiseptic.
Adequate iodine intake, such as through Lugol’s solution or other sources, supports a wide range of health benefits by enabling proper thyroid hormone production and providing additional effects in various tissues.
It boosts immunity by acting as an antioxidant, stimulating white blood cell activity, and offering antimicrobial properties to help defend against infections. Iodine supports reproductive health by contributing to normal function in the ovaries, breasts, and prostate, aiding fertility and tissue balance. It regulates thyroid hormones essential for metabolism, preventing issues like goiter or imbalance that affect overall well-being.
Additionally, iodine promotes healthy skin, hair, and nails through its role in growth, repair, and moisture regulation—deficiency often leads to dryness or brittleness. It maintains optimal energy levels by supporting efficient metabolism and hormone-driven vitality. Emerging evidence also points to anti-carcinogenic potential, with studies showing iodine’s antioxidant, anti-proliferative, and pro-apoptotic effects in tissues like the breast and prostate, potentially reducing risks when levels are sufficient (though more research is needed for definitive prevention claims).
Always aim for balanced intake under professional guidance, as excess can disrupt thyroid function.

Pro-probiotics – 30 vegi-caps
R282.00Add to cartStress, prescription drugs, alcohol, a high-fat diet, too much red meat and too little dietary fibre can allow bad bacteria to overgrow and take over the gut. This can lead to digestive problems like infections, lactose intolerance, diarrhoea, irritable bowel syndrome, Candida and reduced absorption of nutrients. Unless you put more good guys in.
Here’s what good-guy bacteria can do…
- IMPROVE FUNCTIONING OF THE DIGESTIVE TRACT. Good bacteria in the gut help to normalize the microbial balance in the intestines.
- RESTORE HEALTHY FLORA. Antibiotics kill bacteria, but don’t know how to tell the good from the bad. This means they destroy good gut flora as well and this can upset the system and your stomach. Replacing the beneficial bacteria by taking a probiotic can help restore a healthy flora balance.
- STRENGTHENS THE GUT BARRIER.  A dysfunctional gut barrier function is associated with digestive difficulties such as leaky gut syndrome and lactose intolerance.IN A NUTSHELL
PRO-Probiotic helps protect against invading organisms and helps strengthen our gut barrier.
