Review: Great Iodine supplement - I had been using a much higher priced equivalent that wasn’t moving my lab #’s so I started looking for & found this product. Having chronic low iodine levels I really noticed the difference within days of taking this as I had more consistent energy & started sleeping better throughout the night, also FINALLY solid lab results. Overall a better sense of well being. It’s a great price, smaller sized, easy to swallow supplement that works.
Review: Excellent substitute for Lugol's or ($$) Iodoral. - Contains the recommended 200 year old mix of the precursor iodide and the active form 'iodine' that all the cells need for metabolic function, especially the 'high-energy' thyroid and endocrine systems. Many other brands here contain less than 1/10th or 1/20th of what the human body uses/needs per day (per the 24 hr urine test), so a therapeutic dose of 3x 'maintenance' dose would be difficult to achieve. If your diet is already adequately high in various sea vegetables (kelp, spirulina, dulse, bladderwrack, etc), you wouldnt be here reading this. Note that 200mcg -800 mcg/day (from all sources) of Selenium should also be taken if one has nodules, cysts, tumors, and/or inflammation in their thyroid or endocrine (reproductive) system, incl. breasts, prostate, ovaries, etc., due to a thyroid hormone or iodine deficiency, which is very common in the U.S. ( ~95% of people) and any people who do not regularly eat sea vegetables like the Japanese and other similar ocean-fishing based cultures traditionally have done. Note that the clinical signs of an iodine deficiency are thinning outer eyebrows and hair, normal resting body temp 1 hour) YouTube interviews for the Cliff Notes version. I hope this helps point you in a direction to find what works for you in your health optimizing journey, since most Allopathic medicine-only trained doctors are basically useless when it comes to discovering and treating nutritional imbalances, minor chemical or mild heavy metal toxicities (such as with mercury in tuna or lake fish, or arsenic in rice), or weakened immune systems from various stressors (Life in general). Iodide/ Iodine is also strong anti-bacterial & anti-viral used in surgery that does not harm healthy cells, and when consumed (in fairly high daily doses, spread out over the day) helps diffuse radiation exposure from our environment, X-rays, and/or CT scans. So adequate amounts are essential nowadays! Note: The 150 mcg (0.15 mg) RDA min. daily dose was deemed enough to prevent goiter after 30 days in healthy young subjects in a 1930s midwestern ('Goiter Belt') study. Children were directed to take 3-5 mg tablet of potassium iodide every morning until the government created iodized table salt. A slice of bread also usually contained 150mcg of iodide back then, but there is no mention of controlling outside sources in that study, and 1930s Farm kids ate plenty of sandwiches. Hence the People's current desire to restudy iodine use and up the minimum to at least what the avg. human body uses per day, so as to help prevent fatigue and various chronic diseases. The re-study has not being done by our medical industry or government for the past 100 years, nor was the body's ability to absorb 2% potassium iodide in 40% sodium 60% chloride (iodized table salt), where the two halides compete with each other ever studied. A recent private study showed it to be very poor. The average Japanese traditionally ate 12.5 mg/day of iodide/iodine and had the lowest cancer rates in the world, which is where the 12.5 mg/day recommended maintenance dose of Lugol's iodide/iodine solution came from over 150 years ago. The body actually uses about 3-5 mg/day (per Dr. Brownstein, MD), with developing teens needing more, and any excess is peed out, so it is considered safe to take in higher therapeutic doses (50 mg/day) for 3 months or so until normal cell turnover replaces the diseased or 'bad' ["MacGyver'd"] cells. If treating a disease and not just a possible or known nutritional imbalance, please talk to your ND, holistically-trained MD, or other qualified (and licensed) health practioner to make sure there are no conflicts with other things, but the above will help you figure out what questions to ask.

## Features

- IODINE COMPLEX SUPPLEMENT: Iodine is an element essential to thyroid health. Because the human body can't produce iodine, it needs to be consumed through iodine-rich foods and salt. Improving iodine intake is a great way to ensure you receive adequate amounts to support the complete health and total well-being of your entire body. Our Brain Basics Ultra Iodine Complex is a high-potency iodine supplement that provides a convenient way to get your daily dose of iodine!
- HIGH POTENCY: The Brain Basics Ultra Iodine Complex contains potassium iodide and iodine tablets. Each tablet contains 7.5 mg potassium iodide and 5 mg iodine for effective thyroid support. One container of the iodine supplement has 90 tablets with a serving size of one (1) tablet daily.
- PREMIUM QUALITY: Our iodine supplements are non-GMO and vegetarian-friendly. Aside from iodine and potassium iodide, each tablet contains SMCC, vegetable stearic acid, and vegetable stearate. Each tablet contains 12.5 mg of our Ultra Iodine Complex.
- DAILY SUPPORT: Our iodine complex tablets are designed to improve your iodine and potassium iodide intake daily conveniently and easily. One tablet contains a total of 12.5 mg of iodine and iodide. Adequate amounts of iodine can optimize thyroid function and brain health.

Many other brands here contain less than 1/10th or 1/20th of what the human body uses/needs per day (per the 24 hr urine test), so a therapeutic dose of 3x 'maintenance' dose would be difficult to achieve. If your diet is already adequately high in various sea vegetables (kelp, spirulina, dulse, bladderwrack, etc), you wouldnt be here reading this. Note that 200mcg -800 mcg/day (from all sources) of Selenium should also be taken if one has nodules, cysts, tumors, and/or inflammation in their thyroid or endocrine (reproductive) system, incl. breasts, prostate, ovaries, etc., due to a thyroid hormone or iodine deficiency, which is very common in the U.S. ( ~95% of people) and any people who do not regularly eat sea vegetables like the Japanese and other similar ocean-fishing based cultures traditionally have done. Note that the clinical signs of an iodine deficiency are thinning outer eyebrows and hair, normal resting body temp <98°F (97.6°F is typical), hands & feet often getting cold, lack of energy. A viral thyroid infection (thyroiditis) is usually related to nodules forming from 'alternate' halides being encapsulated in the thyroid when the liver & body tries to MacGyver a fix to an iodine deficiency with iodide's chemical cousins. Bromine is a common fungicide, chlorine is in tap water, as is fluoride, which is a by-product of making aluminum that was traditionally used by farmers in to decrease the fertility of their livestock so that they wouldn't be overwhelmed. There are currently no tests that directly measure cellular uptake and proper use of iodine in the cells, but the Reverse T3/Free T3 ratio being over 5% in the blood can show that the normal uptake of the active form is being blocked by the inert RT3. This is how the body slows metabolism (for years(!) per a Berkeley rat study) when one 'diets' (cuts calories/creates 'famine conditions') for more than 3 days. TSH is a 70-80 year old pituitary test, and not one of thyroid hormone production or cellular uptake. The Adrenals also counterbalance the thyroid as a built in 'safety feature', thus the Coffee or Red Bull drinking and Adrenal Fatigue being common in those diagnosed hypothyroid. Quitting caffeine plus supplemental Iodine, Selenium, & a lot of Ashwaganda is said to help that. Please research all this further yourself and read Dr. David Browstein, MD's excellent book on iodide, and/or see his longer ( >1 hour) YouTube interviews for the Cliff Notes version. I hope this helps point you in a direction to find what works for you in your health optimizing journey, since most Allopathic medicine-only trained doctors are basically useless when it comes to discovering and treating nutritional imbalances, minor chemical or mild heavy metal toxicities (such as with mercury in tuna or lake fish, or arsenic in rice), or weakened immune systems from various stressors (Life in general).
