If I were you, I really wouldn't use iodine with hypo - especially not Hashi's. It won't help and could make things ten times worse. If you are on thyroid hormone replacement, you will be getting iodine from that - 100 mcg levo contains about 65 mcg iodine which is recycled in the body - and your thyroid won't be using it anyway, because it isn't making hormone. You need less iodine, not more.

Thank you Greygoose. A lot of controversial advisers on line about iodine, some sounds so promising with great relief of inflammation. I will follow your advice not to take a risk.

Personally, I try to steer clear of excess iodine… & fully agree with greygoose advice
