Best Answer

Yes, if Synthroid contains Levothyroxine (3,5,3',5'-Tetraiodo-L-thyronine) then there is 4 Iodine atoms per molecule (..Tetraiodo..) in it!

[You should ask your chemist for confirmation]

Wrong answer: No.

Levothyroxine (ingredient in Synthroid, Levoxyl, etc...) is T4 which your body would make on its own from iodine and tyrosine if your thyroid were functioning properly. You would most likely not need to supplement with iodine since your body is not making its own thyroid hormone, but relys on T4 from Synthroid.

Does sea salt contain iodine?

Iodine is an essential chemical element for the production of thyroid hormones that help regulate growth and metabolism. Natural iodine exists in all living plants and animals. Food that comes from the sea contain the most iodine and the seaweed is an excellent source. In irony to this, salt from the sea, or salt from any other sources for that matter, does not contain iodine. Processed salt likeÊiodized salt is the only salt product that contain iodine because extra iodine is added during processing.
