Iodine gets discussed here very frequently. Put the word into the HU search box at top right of this page and you'll get plenty of posts to read.
Personally I wouldn't even consider taking iodine without first getting tested to see if I'm deficient.
Hi Beaton,
I was taking 12.5mg a day for a year. When I became sufficient I reduced the dose to 6.25mg. I only have 2 people's experiences to go on, but sufficiency does seem to be reached according to dose. My husband was taking a higher dose and became sufficient faster than I did. He has also now reduced his dose. We are both doing really well.
Hope that helps a little,
Katy
