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.

I'm not sure how accurate the tests for blood level of iodine is, but the best way to find out if everything is in order with Iodine levels is to consult an Endocrinologist as they can see if your hormone levels are optimal as well and suggest your Iodine intake. Find one that focuses on naturopathy, of course.

I generally take 1 or 2 drops of 5% Lugol's solution and it makes me feel good. Not sure how I would feel if I took to much.

What if you took too much iodine?

But I didn't take too much iodine?

Yes, but how would you feel if you did?

But I didn't take too much. I don't understand the question
