Guest guest Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 I bought a bottle of Iosol the other day and took one drop in a glass of water (nasty stuff). The instructions on the bottle say to dissolve one drop in 2oz of water and then take one tsp of that (seems like way too little but it's 102% of the RDA). Can you overdose on iodine? It just seems that 8 drops a day of this stuff is an awful lot. Thoughts??? Amber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 Hi Amber, Dietary iodine is just that 'dietary'. That means your body will absorb what it needs and you will excrete the rest. 8 drops is not much for many people. But, you have to wake up this sleeping thyroid. It takes a little while to do that. When it starts 'eating' normally again, your body feels more energy and starts feeling warmer along with other things. What is on the bottle is the minimum amount to give not the best amount. Your body has to determine that if you learn how to listen to it. Johanne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 I am going great on Iodoral tablets. Tiny little things. Not hard to take and dont taste nasty and is recommended by leading iodine researchers.

Guest guest Posted September 27, 2006 Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 Toni, Can you give me more info on Indoral? Who are those experts? I will call them and talk with them. I am thankful that there are other helps for the thyroid out there. Armour thyroid has not helped many over the years.

Guest guest Posted September 27, 2006 Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 There are good articles out there on Iodoral and Iodine. Do a web search. Iodoral is safe taken at 50mg or more daily. Several members of my family take it. jp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 27, 2006 Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 My breast cancer patients take Iosol. I took it for the pituitary brain tumor and the breast cancer episode. I believe in the iodine supplementation. What I found is that your body gets used to supplements after a time. You need to rotate the supplements that best help raise your immune system. That is my personal experience and that of all the people that came through here. So Iosol is one product but I know there are others. Armour has brought some help for people but not as much as other forms.

Guest guest Posted September 28, 2006 Report Share Posted September 28, 2006 Thank you for the explanation Johanne. My thyroid isn't just sleeping - it's in a coma! I found that putting Iosol in juice takes the edge off the taste. ~Amber From: Johanne Hi Amber, Dietary iodine is just that 'dietary'.

Guest guest Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 The problem with Iosol is that each drop is only 1.83 mg. of Iodine as opposed to Lugol's at 6.25 mg per drop. Iosol is made up of Glycerine(vegetable),Iodine and Ammonium Iodide. There is no indication of the proportions of Iodine to Iodide or even if Ammonium Iodide provides Iodide the same way the Potassium Iodide of Lugol's does. Our bodies need both. If you are going to be away, why don't you order three bottles of Iodoral from breastcancerchoices.org? It is much cheaper that way and then you won't have to worry for six months. Three bottles of 180 tablets of 12.5 mg. each. That is 540 - 12.5 mg. tablets. Even if you took 100 mg. per day (8 tablets), that would last you six months. > > , > I need to know if you think this is ok to take instead of the Lugol's. > I am losing my source and will be spending the next 6 mo. out west in > an area that I will only be able to receive by mail anything that I > take if I am not stocked up before we leave in 2 weeks. > I found this product at > http://www.iherb.com/ProductDetails.aspx?c=1 & pid=4785 & at=0 > Winnie > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 I forgot to say that breastcancerchoices.org sends out right away and you will have it in plenty of time if you order tomorrow. > > , > I need to know if you think this is ok to take instead of the Lugol's. > I am losing my source and will be spending the next 6 mo. out west in > an area that I will only be able to receive by mail anything that I > take if I am not stocked up before we leave in 2 weeks. > I found this product at > http://www.iherb.com/ProductDetails.aspx?c=1 & pid=4785 & at=0 > Winnie > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
