Hi Valerie,

I seriously doubt it’s worth worrying about your specific iodine intake.
If you are hyper you might want to decrease slightly the amount of
thyroid hormone you taking. I was taking a 22.5mcg sustained release T3
each morning, but I have found this past month that this amount is a
little on the high side for me and I drift toward the hyper side. I am
now taking 18mcg of T3 daily. This seems to be just the right amount and
I’m no longer feeling hyper.

Still Feeling Better! (4 months and counting!)

I just made the most amazing discovery. I have become very conscious of what I put in my body and I look for added ingredients and will not buy a product that has iodine in it since I am not back down to normal from being hyper as of yet. I checked every single brand of multi-vitamin in Wal*Mart and spent almost an hour reading the ingredients. Without exception, they all contained iodine!

Wonder if this makes a difference? I think I will stick to my vitamin E and my combination Calcium/Magnesium/Zinc tablets until I can find one without iodine.

Hey out there warriors–any opinions or knowledge of this and what it might do to us? I read in another publication that in a normal body, it only required the equivalent of a teaspoon of iodine in an entire lifetime–taken in in miniscule quantities. Can you imagine if we have all this extra anyway that is wacking out our thyroids and then we take more? Hmmmmmmm. Tis a puzzlement.
