Or table salt- use extra with each meal.
The amount of table salt (iodized) that you would have to eat to saturate your thyroid if you are deficient is enough to kill a horse!!!
NEVER try to get Iodine from table salt!
Table salt, even if it claims to have iodine often has none, the american iodine intake is incredibly low to almost non existant. When we grew iodine was in bread and all kind of things, now they use bromide which tricks the thyroid but in the end doesn’t work the same and is behind a ton of health issues in this country.
People in the U.S. consume an average 240 micrograms (µg) of iodine a day. In contrast, people in Japan consume more than 12 milligrams (mg) of iodine a day (12,000 µg), a 50-fold greater amount.
The dose required to truly protect a person from radiation (at least in the thyroid area) is 130-mg.
If anyone here things they are safe because they eat shrimp a few times a week or plan to add a little extra salt they are truly delusional.
The Japanese get thier iodine from Kelp mostly, which also is heavily contaminated with Arsenic. Most brands of iodine you get at health food store are from kelp and have healthy doses of arsenic. Also, they are too low in amount to truly protect a person.
I recommend, if you need to keep some around, Iodoral, it’s not from kelp, and potent enough to protect you, and it’s production is controlled.
