Sorry, link doesn't work. And googling pure bio thyroid -B no. 1 got me nowhere. But, it sounds like some sort of 'thyroid support' multi, which doubtless contains iodine, so that would be bad for your health, yes. Multis and iodine are always a bad idea. :)

I think this is the information that was intended?
