Even in the health community - there is much confusion around iodine I find re: dosage. Do you have any dosage recommendations for a 150lb woman? I try to get mine from seafood, as it's also loaded with DHA. Thanks for the piece- well done.
Jennifer. May I recommend Dr. David Brownstein's book - Iodine: Why You Need It. Why You Can't Live Without It. 5th Edition
He recommends much higher doses after studying people living near the ocean like Japan. I personally take 25mg a day. Part of my regimen for MS. Typically he would consider 12mg/day a minimum dose.
I have read his book and should do better about taking my supplements. I have been neglecting myself.
Thanks. I did see that he was recommending even more than the 12.5 mg Iodoral. I added that back into my routine but have been inconsistent with all my vitamins. Walking the talk is harder than talking the talk ;-)
There is a deficiency of iodine in the soil around the Great Lakes.
Good to know...any idea why?
