PENGARUH SUPLEMENTASI MIKROALGAE SPIRULINA TERHADAP STATUS IODIUM, FUNGSI TIROID DAN STATUS KLINIS HIPOTIROID PADA WANITA USIA SUBUR DI DAERAH ENDEMIK GAKI

Backgound: IDD is a public health problem in Indonesia. Despite the program to overcome the IDD problem have been implemented, there are still found IDD endemic areas and infants born with cretinism. The cessation of iodine capsule distribution program and coverage of iodinized salt < 90% require other effective and safe alternatives to help solving the problem of IDD elimination. Marine food resource rich in nutrients currently developed to improve nutrition status is spirulina. It has high bioavailability due to its simple cell structure, so that its nutrient and iodine contents can be easily absorbed by the body. Objective: To identify effects of spirulina microalgae supplementation to iodine status, thyroid function and clinical status of hypothyroid in woman of childbearing age at IDD endemic areas. Method: The study was an intervention with experimental design using Randomized Control Trial (RCT) double blind method.
