Not so much this, LD50 for iodine is similar to salt so is actually a lot less toxic than iodineophobes would have you think, the reason many people have bad reactions is to do with detox rather than the actual iodine so make sure you follow salt protocol described and get plenty of vitamin c (and make sure its not soy derived C ffs as soy is a know goitrigen, also I recommend Himalayan or celtic salt). Also when in doubt start slow, get a 2% lugols, start with one drop a day for a few weeks and incrementally increase your dose and monitor your health state

The RDI (mere micrograms) was only set at the point that goiter is controlled, dumbfucks never realized iodine is used by the entire body not just thyroid; your skin, organs, brain, and most critically all of your glands including the ones you use for procreation need iodine. The actual RDI from what I've read goes from a conservative 3mg right up to 25-50mg per day. When you take into consideration the info in PIC related you realize that you actually need to not only hit RDI but take in more to mitigate your exposures to other halides (fluoride, bromine, chlorine).

Personally I cycle between 12.5mg a day to 25mg a day (lugols 5%, so one drop is 6.25mg, take half dose in morn and other half in evening) every few months and have been on it for close to 2 years now with no issues with my thyroid hormone levels, my missus was getting 25mg a day up until conception and pretty much reversed her PCOS and she conceived on second attempt, once bub was on board we switched her back to 6.25mg to 12.5mg a day, shes now nursing and is continuing the same dose. Studies show iodine supplementation pre conception and prenatally boosts bubs IQ by a standard deviation, so make sure you take notice so you can breed some smart AF ubermensch.
