About the test

The Urine Iodine Pre and Post Loading Test analyses iodine levels and how well the individual absorbs and uses iodine. This can help to identify the root cause of thyroid dysfunction as well as breast tissue dysfunction.

Exposure to goitrogenic substances (products that include chlorine, fluoride and bromide) can inhibit the uptake and binding of iodine within the body, which can impact the thyroid gland function and breast tissue health.

This test assesses levels of iodine in the body via urine sample taken before and after a prescribed dose of iodine is given. The kit does not include the iodine loading dose, which must be obtained from a doctor.

This test requires two urine samples collected over 24 hours. The first sample is collected immediately upon waking before taking the iodine dose. The second sample is derived from all urine collected over a 24 hour period after taking the iodine dose.

Please note, the price of this test includes a DHL home collection and international shipping of the sample to the processing laboratory.

Disclaimer: This test is only available through a Healthpath Pro practitioner.
