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?

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

Um, no. You can trigger permanent thyroid conditions with this advice. It accumulates in your system and by the time you feel symptoms of overdose, it can be too late, especially if you are taking ridiculous amounts.

Take 1 drop of 2% iodine per week - which is 2,500 mcg of iodine over 7 days, or about 350 mcg daily. This is slightly more than 2x of the "recommended" 150 mcg per day. You don't need more than this. If that feels like too much, dial it back. It's best taken daily, so dilute the 2% iodine in a glass of water and sip it daily until it is gone at the end of the week.

Yeah, never listen to any advice canbot gives, he's been wrong on many takes. He really just says stuff without ever having done any real looking into it.
