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.

Japs average up to 3000mcg daily. I use a 240 mcg daily dose. The recommended daily is simply a recommendation (where everyone taking it shows no harm etc) Like the ridiculously low recommended Vitamin C dose (i take 2 grams esther-plex daily, my young sons have 2 grams twice a day). Nascent iodine daily dose is at 8x daily recommended. Best thing to do is complete blood/ hormone/ endocrine works and then take as necessary.
