Hi Yaelle! the common thinking on seaweed for a source of iodine is a no go as they believe there is too much arsenic in it.
I take Iodoral (50mg/day) which is made up of the correct ratio of iodine to iodide and it is in higher doses instead of mcg’s.
When you take iodine the offset mineral is selenium, both of which really help your thyroid and the conversion of T4 to T3. The remainder of the protocol is 600-800mg magnesium (I like the form of glycinate), 1/8 tsp of salt 3-7 days a week, dropped on your tongue to dissolve then flush with 16 oz water and about 4000 mg of vitamin C.
Are you having any particular health issues? Even if you’re not, of course, this is one of the most effective regimens you can be on. Just curious if you’re dealing with anything.
I am kind of dealing with things, yes. Macro prolactinoma and (once erosive) oral lichen planus. The former seems to affect a lot of different things hormonally.
I already take the magnesium, also glycinate. I feel I need to start with the iodine. Thanks so much, I will get some and selenium.
