I have heard that Cod Liver Oil is like HC. Is this true?

-- Re: Research Help - Interaction of Iodine, Vit A & the thyroid

Know anything about people not being able to tolerate cod liver oil? It's the one supplement that I have problems with. Every time I try to take it, it causes heart palps. I don't have any problems with beta carotene. Does it with or without taking iodine also.

This was the article that I found as well but my question is HOW does

Vitamin A help iodine get into the cells. I know it helps the thyroid

produce hormones but what is the mechanism?

Much of the research on vitamin A, iodine and the thyroid has been done by Zimmermann. Here is a link to some of his research:
