I started taking iodine supplements, what am I in for?

You'll feel better

Getting memed

Probably not cancer

I took 3 drops at lunch now I'm panicking because I'm reading that's over 15 mg but the daily safe dose for adults is 1 mg and I going to go into a coma or die? Help
Aiden Evans
chill out and wait a few days before taking it again
also consider reading important things in the future
James Mitchell
can anyone be serious and actually tell me if this is worth supplementing ??

I'd look into Boron first. The iodine deficiency is caused by fluoride blocking iodine uptake by the thyroid gland. Boron excretes fluoride from the body, also the herb Tamarind has been shown to do this. So if you still have fluoride in your system, your body won't absorb iodine properly and that makes the supp useless. Not only that it's a fine line with iodine between deficiency and excess, and both cause hypothyroidism. Excess can really damage your thyroid gland though, and those pure iodine supps are all in excess even with 1 drop. There is no way to really know how well you absorb it (aka your fluoride status) so it's a dangerous game.
Anyway, I would recommend taking Boron or Tamarind for a couple of weeks, and then if you want do one drop of Iodine weekly to resplenish stores or a safer way would be to eat Kelp or seaweed (as in sushi rolls) which have much less than even one drop but are still way over RDA sources.

RDA is bullshit and japs get far over the recommended amount

>got tested at 16 by endo, confirmed hypo, given t4 meds
>still lazy, sluggish, unmotivated, nearly failed school despite inner desire to succeed
>found out about iodine in 2013
>took my first 5 drops on an exam day, wrote like a maniac and easily cleared it and the succeeding exams
>if not for iodine I would have failed college
>found it easier to concentrate, took modafinil on mondays/tuesdays only, did nofap, basically did a 180 on my performance
>lost my excess bodyfat
>decided to compare my body temp now with my pre iodine days
>I went from 97.3f to 99.5f
>still take iodine, added selenium, magnesium and a b complex to my stack along with a proper diet
Liam Kelly
99.5 is still high though. 98.6 is perfect/optimal. No more no less
Josiah Rivera
It fluctuates throughout the day. Smokers have 99.5-100f body temp because of the metabolism boost granted by nicotine. It's not out of the ordinary.
Nicholas Myers
hmm I a very skeptical, you took it on the day and you think it took effect that quickly? it's not a drug dude, nutrients take a long time to accumulate in your body generally , you wouldn't cure scurvy after taking your first vit c shot
Matthew Phillips
>No more no less
you're kidding right?

And it's a cause of iodine excess induced hypothyroidism there.
ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
>Odds ratio of overt and subclinical hypothyroidism between excess and adequate populations were 2.78 (CI:1.47 to 5.27) and 2.03 (CI:1.58 to 2.62) in adults, respectively.
2.78 times more likely to have overt hypothyroid and 2.03 times more likely to have subclinical hypothyroidism with odine excess compared to adequate (aka RDA) intake.
Aaron Sanders
I swear on my fucking life that's how it went down.
Lincoln Ramirez
find me one (1) source that says 99.5 is normal
Owen Nguyen
Seems like you can paint iodine on your skin and see how long it takes your body to absorb it to determine defeciency
Caleb Rivera
No it isn't, higher metabolism and higher temps are correlated with higher intelligence in all animal species. They tell you it's "perfect" to be 98.6 because it's so out of the ordinary to be higher given the average population's diet and IQ that they can't expect most people to reach higher temps than 98.6 but that doesn't meant it's detrimental to be higher.
Aiden Ross
it disappears after 15 minutes on my skin, I painted two drops of 2% Lugol's in a small square. What does that mean? I take 5 drops daily in water.

>analyzed the fungus-fighting benefits gained by a maintaining a body temperature between 86 and 104 F (30 and 40 C) against the costs it takes a lot of food to keep the fire burning that hot. The optimal temperature, it turned out, was 98.06 F (36.7 C), just a hair away from what we consider "normal" for humans. (It might be even closer to normal, given that many scientists now consider 98.2 F (37.77 C) to be the true normal temperature for humans.)
Sebastian Wood
Doesn't really matter. Your metabolism increases by barely 5% for every degree of body temp you go up.

i live in bongland land though not sure how much fluoride intake I could possibly be getting
Jonathan Carter
Check if your city fluoridates, and do you drink sodas, >sips, bottled water etc. Since you can't know if the water it contains is fluoridated or not, except most bottled water show the fluoride content and most of them are fluoridated. Apparently tea leaves uptakes fluoride a lot over time so black tea is higher in F than green.
