Povidone-iodine

Over the years, we have seen many mentions of povidone-iodine. This video is the first time I have ever come across a proper explanation as to why povidone-iodine is chosen! It then continues with its aim of extracting pure iodine from povidone-iodine.

Have been on 50mcg T3 in single dose for 5 years and felt very well. 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

These are the results of my recent bloodwork which were taken at 8am fasting: TSH: 1.81 (mIU/L) reference range: 0.32-4.00 Free T4: 11 (pmol/L) reference range: 9-19 Free T3: 4.7 (pmol/L) reference range: 2.6-5.8 Reverse T3: 16 (ng/dL) reference range: 8-25 The specialist says that my T3 is a bit

Hi, I wondered if anyone might be able to help. I am relatively new to all of this. I have been diagnosed with Hashitmotos. I apologise for the long post but I thought it might be helpful to give as much detail as possible. I started having symptoms a year ago, it mainly started as gut problems and

hi all, new here! I started having symptoms recently where I have been having hot flushes and hair falling out so I booked a blood test as I thought I was premenopausal. Gp said she will check my thyroid, I did say to her I didn’t think it needed doing as TSH was 1.24 in October 2023 when I was having

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).

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

Hypothyroidism but no meds because TSH is just under amt required to prescribe for..but has nothing to do with my question above.

I have Hypothyroid and am currently trying to recover from surgery and gain weight. 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.

I had radio active iodine 8 years ago and unfortunately it burnt almost all of my thyroid away as the dose was way too strong for me. 8 years later I am still playing around with the doseage of T4 and T3. I’ve read a few people are on just T3 which maybe I should try. right now I’m on a morning dose

Hi all, I have had a multinodular goitre for years and its is now 9cm and affecting me quite a lot with head and neck pain, compressing windpipe etc and growing down - and I'm facing an operation in a couple of weeks as they say I must have it out as so large.

Hi I’m hypothyroid following Graves’ disease then radio iodine about 20 years ago. Was stable on 125 levo until I got Covid and have had long covid - debilitating fatigue - for a year now. I thought it was thyroid related. Following advice on this forum - thank you - I got blood tests and results

I understand that there is such controversy on taking external iodine. Yet, levothyroxine has lots of iodine from what I have gathered from other posts (and as I recently found out it is also composed of/from the amino acid [i]tyrosine[/i]). And, occasionally, I have come across people with

Hi all. I wanted to ask advice as I know that my GP will just suggest a regular blood test to see if the supplements are affecting my thyroxine. I hope you don’t mind taking some time to check if these ingredients are ok with my thyroid meds. I have uploaded pics. I guess it’s the iodine in my perimenopausal

Hi, I’m just wondering if eating 1 alpro Greek style yogurt 150g pot a day, which is a fermented soy product would be harming me, I’ve read that in moderation it would be ok & then I’ve read somewhere else that I shouldn’t be eating anything containing soy as it also contains iodine, does anyone have
