Document Summary
Consequently, tsh levels stay elevated, stimulating the thyroid gland to enlarge: when individuals do not get enough iodine, the thyroid gland cannot produce adequate levels of thyroid hormones. However, these recommendations assume that 75% of iron consumption is heme iron, so for vegans and vegetarians, who primarily ingest. Oxygen transport and storage, energy metabolism, detoxification, thyroid hormone synthesis. Needed for the regulation of protein synthesis, antioxidant functions, growth, development, reproduction and immune and neurological functions. Present in neatly 1,00 enzymes in neatly all major metabolic pathways. Co-factor for about a dozen enzymes involved in antioxidant functions, energy metabolism, iron transport, healthy connective tissue iron zinc copper. Oysters, meat, poultry, legumes, nuts and whole grains. Anemia, decreased thyroid hormone production, impaired immune function, growth and intellectual development. Impaired immune function, delayed sexual maturation, slow growth, hair loss, neurological impairment. Nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, coma, heart, kidney or liver failure. Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, decreased immune function, copper deficiency rare.
