So you've posted that stupid green text here 20 times and now you're an expert on iodine deficiency. You know which supplemental iodine sources cut it and which don't. You know fluoride and boron compete for uptake. You know all the ways not getting enough iodine is fucking us up.

Ok.

How do you know if your iodine supplementation has actually succeeded in raising your levels to the ideal range? Does it go beyond just "I feel better"? Is anyone actually getting lab work done? And, if so, what labs?

ㅤ I just have to know if I'm getting enough iodine.

There is a lab test that checks it. I don't know the name of it or the test code number but what I do know is that it requires you to pee in a jug for full 24 hours then you send that jug in to get it tested for iodine and what it's testing is the total amount of iodine you're urinating out.

Ok, well that does help. I'm not going to go to Lab Corp and ask for the piss jar iodine test, per se. But if I order labs and they ask me to pee in a jug over 24 hours I'll know I'm over target.
