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. She put me on a methylated pregnancy multivit containing iodine as well as referring me to a functional practitioner and herbalist who put me on an elimination diet. I can’t help wondering if the iodine supplementation is ok?
The bio are methylated pregnancy but contains: 220micrograms
I have a protein powder that I take maybe every other day with : 150micrograms
could anyone in the know or someone who knows about nutrition/medicine tell me if this is doing me more harm than good?
I have been feeling quite lethargic of late even though I’ve just finished an elimination diet where I felt amazing and have only reintroduced one thing which I was fine on. Have t introduced anything else yet. I’ve just stopped the pregnancy vit and feel better already today alone so was wondering if it’s the iodine?
My most recent bloods were in May 24:
tsh: 0.53 Normal range: 0.35 - 4.94 mIU/L
T3: 3.7 Normal range: 2.4 - 6.0 pmol/L
T4: 13.9 Normal range: 9.0 - 19.1 pmol/L
