My question is, what form does the iodine supplementation take? That is extremely relevant to the discussion.
This is a good brand. Dr. Mercola

I assume there are iodine pills, maybe tincture. What else is there?
From what I’ve read, potassium iodide is best, but Lugol’s Solution and Iodoral mix two versions.
It appears we need iodine, but in the US, the Upper Tolerable Limit is 1,100 MICROgrams or 1.1 MILLIgrams a day, according to resources I’ve seen.
you must take a ratio of iodine to iodide and the 2 best options are Lugol’s (liquid) and Iodoral (pill form). The 12.5mg of pill form is 7.5mg iodide to 5mg iodine. I may have that backwards as I’m not looking at the label.
There’s a conversion chart for the drops, the most prevalent being 2% which converts to Xmg per drop
Well, I think one of the most common is iodized table salt, which really isn’t necessary to supplement people’s diets anymore in the developed world, but many people don’t know that and still use it.
Cut it out, you don’t need it. Use kosher salt for cooking and get sea salt in a grinder for seasoning, and you’ll never miss that metallic aftertaste that iodized salt leaves behind.
