Experiences with

Iodine

There were 29% less prostate cases in the group with high iodine, when compared with those men with low iodine." "Research has shown that prostate cancer cells take up iodine easily and it can cause apoptosis.' https://www.canceractive.com/article/iodine-and-cancer

Has anyone had their iodine levels tested? If so, a standard test or a loading test? Who did you use? Kind regards

Is iodine OK to have with hypothyroidism? By which I mean in milk substitutes etc. Thankyou.

I have Hashimoto's and feeling very anxious at the moment as my functional dr told me to take an iodine supplement as my iodine levels were/are low (I am on 1 grain NDT). I didn’t do my research which was silly of me as I usually am very thorough at checking everything before I take it!

I would be interested in learning of personal experiences with taking iodine. The good, the bad, and everything in between. I think I may test my iodine and tyrosine levels next! Ever learning. Love and Peace.

Any idea why when taking any dose of iodine along with protocol it send my tpo rising. Trying to figure this for some time now. Lots of people with hashimotos take iodine with no problem.

Recently I used a multivitamin skin patch for around 6 weeks before discovering it contains 150 iodine! I react to iodine so avoid it at almost all costs. According to doctor (v helpful) it can remain in the system for sometime and nothing I can do to hurry it up.

Established iodine treatment doesn't always work first time, assuming it doesn't How long before 2nd try? Or is it back to the start if the waitingvlist? And that's back to HOW LONG IS THAT! Any advice greatfully received.

Around last year in 2023 to early this year 2024, I could not find T3 anymore in Greece and it was getting increasingly difficult to source for them online so I thought I would experiment with weaning T3 and doing Iodine (Lugol's) for treatment as I researched that iodine therapy might help hypo patients

Please recommend or share your experience how to use iodine with HYPOthyroidism (hashimoto's)

As I've had RAI to knock out my thyroid, am I able to have iodine products such spirulina or calcium derived from sea algae? Thank you !

Hi I believe iodine is pointless with hypothyroidism but does it cause more health problems? Thank you

Iodine - again! My reading of this suggests that, in the general population, we want to see [i]relatively[/i] high selenium levels. And, in particular, we want that state [u][i]before[/i][/u] any increase in iodine levels - whether from diet, iodised salt or other sources.

could someone clear up the iodine issue with me? I was under the impression that it was bad to take iodine. Due to trying for a baby I have resorted to a private nhs gp who specialises in hormone health.

I have found a pregnancy vitamin supplement however it has 150mcg of Iodine in it. I understand Iodine is not good for those with hypothyroidism and we do not need it BUT my future baby will rely on my Iodine intake during the first 12 weeks.

Felt better, trying one drop of Lugol's 2% iodine now every other day, as this provides the daily RDA of iodine which I can never have had in my life !!!!!!? I have lost about 20 lb, but have gained some muscle.

E.g. is taking the Iodine likely to be causing these results? Particularly as I did have the Iodine the morning of the blood draw (draw at 2pm - fasted all morning). E.g. although figures are considered 'high' and 'out of range', are they actually ok?

I have to say I look forward to it everyday but I’m not sure if this is classed as moderation or i am taking in to much iodine. Any advice would be greatly received.

But such extreme dietary intakes could actually be very low in the required amino acids, iodine, selenium, etc. This recent review is worth a read. [i]Do Brassica Vegetables Affect Thyroid Function?-A Comprehensive Systematic Review.

I am unable to find a drink to help aid my recovery what does not contain Iodine. Can anyone help with advice. I wish to avoid soy and gluten also. Thank you.
