Unless you have a condition that makes it a bad idea.

Boom, thats it. So I'm a trainer and I use the keto diet when people wanna lose weight(it makes me look like a genius). Came across a girl named Bren, had your problem, was strict on keto and constantly worked out and the weight would not come off. So I went back over everything trying to figure out what was wrong, she had mentioned she had a Hypo-thyroid issue so I did some research on her medicine "Synthroid" after some quick googling I found out a lot of people taking it were gaining weight despite a low calorie high exercise diet. Just did a quick google on Thyroxin and guess what.....SAME MEDICATION.

So I told bren to go off the Synthroid under her doctors care but insist she come off and had her take this over the counter supplement

Bout a week after the weight started falling off again, I think total she went from 215 to 125 for a total of 90 pound weight lose. The last 30 wouldn't come off til she got off the Sythroid. Its the Throxin.

I'd like to stress the importance in getting tested before adding iodine as a supplement. Deficiency is extremely rare. I see a lab online offering a blood test for $89.00. Iodine deficiency is extremely rare in the USA and find this post a bit irresponsible. Some poor fool could go on Amazon and FRY their thyroid purchasing a product like this: https://www.amazon.com/Zen-Haus-Supplement-L-Theanine-Riboflavin/dp/B07RDWBD8Q/ref=sr_1_1_sspa

This product has over 10,000% of the recommended daily value! Can't believe they are selling such a dangerous product.

u/Balloonflewaway · 5 pointsr/Hypothyroidism

I started this one (sorry for the ugly link) three days ago. I need some serious help with this brain fog and exhaustion. I'm really optimistic!

I hope you update your n a few months- I'd love to know if they do anything for you. Good luck!

If you have no energy, you might not be sleeping deeply enough.

Try taking nascent iodine which will decalcify your pineal gland which regulates the dispersion of melatonin (light sleep) and DMT (deep sleep.) The improvement will build up over time and in about 2 weeks you should be back to normal.

I have times when I’m more fatigued than others... like I need a nap after work or sometimes even during my lunch break and my job is not even strenuous. Something that has given me a lot of energy are iodine drops. They are great and usually don’t fail to get my energy up.. I take em in the mornings.

u/sharpsight2 · 2 pointsr/Hypothyroidism

Iodine is vitally important for the thyroid as well as other glands. An exceptionally rich source of it is kelp (seaweed). Two things you can do to help your thyroid are to (a) eat a some kelp regularly (sprinkle on salads, chuck some in soups/stews), and (b) avoid anything with soy in it. Soy inhibits iodine uptake unless it's been made safer by slow traditional processes which the modern industrial food system doesn't take time to follow. There are other things to avoid too (iodine's nasty relations chlorine, bromine, and fluorine), but you can find more on those from the links I've included.

As well as eating kelp and seafoods, you can drink a few drops of iodine in a glass of water (you get used to the taste). Nascent Iodine, Iodoral, and Lugol's Solution are three types of iodine supplements. A good book on the subject is Iodine: Why You Need It, Why You Can't Live Without It, by Dr David Brownstein.

u/damaged_but_whole · 2 pointsr/Hashimotos

Thanks for the recommendations. Yeah, my supplement list is getting a bit more expensive. I have D3 and a good B12, but I guess I need to get K2 to help absorb the D3.

Also, I saw a lot of talk about Selenium and some other supplements. Eventually, I was able to find this Amazon best-seller for thyroid support with over 4,000 positive reviews:

https://www.amazon.com/Thyroid-Support-Supplement-Vegetarian-Ashwagandha/dp/B00M13NHFY/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1484843899&sr=8-1&keywords=thyroid

I checked out the reviews on fakespot and review meta to make sure they weren't fake reviews and they're not, so I ordered some. If you search the reviews for terms like "Hashimoto's" and "anxiety" you will see it seems to have helped a lot of people with these problems. It even helped some people grow their hair back.

IMO, this is what we need to do: fight the antibodies, not just replace the lost hormone.

u/fuckingoff · 2 pointsr/fasting

Not one to be a conspiracy theorist, but I've yet to find out on what basis the RDA of 150/250 mcg iodine ingestion is based on. It's my belief that this is the minimum amount required to prevent goiters and gestational mental retardation but not the optimum amount for brain and body health.

The Japanese people naturally ingest over 80 times that amount on average or 13 mg (13,000 mcg) from their seaweed. The FDA won't let you buy food in the US with that high of a concentration of iodine.

That's why I order this from Amazon and ingest 8 drops a day.

u/CharlesP2009 · 2 pointsr/Hypothyroidism

There are plenty of "thyroid support" vitamins out there: This is Amazon's Choice for what it's worth. It's missing your desired vitamins A, C, and D though.

u/Glix_1H · 2 pointsr/keto

In general, supplements are an expensive band-aid, and not a real long term solution.

The only things I supplement are:
Magnesium. Mag citrate works, but chelated magnesium is best since it doesn’t act as a laxative. Take 800mg a day until your anxiety goes away, then you can just use 200-400mg: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000BD0RT0/
Zinc: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0001VKDDM/
Iodine: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0771WPGVD

Otherwise I just save bones, make bone broth, always have the skin on chicken and slow cook organ meats like beef heart and chicken heart and giblets a longs with some carrots, celery and lots of spices. I use seasoned salt and lite-salt on baked meats for my sodium and potassium. As long as salt tastes good, you can continue having it. As long as it’s not hidden by sugar you’ll know when you’ve had enough. Sodium and magnesium are very safe, though potassium is the one you don’t want to overdo. “The salt fix” is an excellent book on how necessary it is to health and how it doesn’t cause cardiovascular disease. For slow cooking, it’s best to add salt “to taste” at the end or when served to prevent accidentally adding a awful tasting amount.

I started keto because of depression and anxiety, and successfully resolved both those issues (as well as other things like putting my blood pressure from “almost to high” to “normal”). Magnesium should dampen the anxiety within a day or three.

u/justinurrkunt · 2 pointsr/keto

The RDA of iodine in this country is 150 micrograms (250 if pregnant or nursing). So I take a potassium/iodine supplement to get my iodine intake up to the level that the average Japanese person gets naturally through their food, which is 13 milligrams per day. That is ~85 times the US's RDA.
This is what I take.

I use this: https://www.amazon.com/Liquid-Iodine-Potassium-Absorption-Effective/dp/B01AF601M0

Put about a drop per cup into your favorite plant milk and you're good to go! It's totally flavorless, you won't even know it's in there.

u/mfasuit · 1 pointr/steroids

Did selenium alone help your hypothyroid and/or raise your T4?

I just got bloodwork done after a Rad 140 cycle that yielded no results whatsoever, either bunk or I'm a complete non-responder. Taking a break and planning a Test blast in a few months.

I had bloodwork done after the rad cycle, my HDL was crashed, was > 50 pre-Rad and 27 after (maybe there was something in the Rad?, liver AST and ALT were perfect though), LDL was about 150 before (high) and up to 171.

My thyroid is most concerning T4 at 2.9 ug/dL and Free Thyronxine Index 1.0. Lipid and thyroid bloods here.

I've been on TRT (100mg/wk) for clinically low test (150ng/dL at age 22) for a decade now. Several times over the years I've had low T4 and elevated TSH bloodwork. Most of the time when I had my TRT endo do bloods it was TSH only (No T4 or T3 panel) and they just so happened to be in range for that panel so according to them all is fine.

On an off over the years I have supplemented with a Thyroid support like this one One Body Thyroid Support, which has Iodine mcg, Selenium 200mcg, Zinc 10mg, Copper 200mcg, B12 150mcg, among other things.

I ran out of my last bottle a month or two ago and didn't think anything of it. With the above bloods just this week I've already bought more and started supplementing again. Was a support supplement ever enough for you without going on T4? Thanks man.

u/dreiter · 1 pointr/PlantBasedDiet

Not unless it's listed on the label. For meeting iodine requirements I recommend Lite Salt, kelp capsules with iodine listed, or Lugol's iodine (but be careful with the dosing).

u/nibus · 1 pointr/gifs

Kelp is known to have a lot of iodine, and it's pretty cheap in supplement form. Lugol's if also popular: http://www.amazon.com/J-CROWS®-Lugols-Iodine-Solution-Twin/dp/B00E3B49R2

https://www.longecity.org/forum/topic/67063-iodine-is-magical-miracle-most-underrated-supplement/

particularly I resonate strongly with this symptom, it's something I have not seen mentioned elsewhere, my cognition is top but I don't have the patience to actually sit down and read a book

>I also forgot to mention. I have never really been much of an avid reader. I can solve problems of very complex technical and mechanical problems with ease, but when it comes to reading I just get too distracted far too quickly. Iodine has given my brain this new dimension for enjoying reading. I am able to read any book now and enjoy it, as well as understand it! Understand: I haven't been able to enjoy sitting down and reading books for long periods for over 5 years. Every other aspect of my cognition has been wonderful. Iodine has not only given me back the gift to enjoy reading, but also boosted every other aspect of my cognition. I am simply in awe.

No harm in trying it, and seeing the reviews on amazon I think it's a very underrated supplement. I think it'd benefit people with thyroid issues.

How would I go about diluting such a solution to get the required dilution of something like this?


Should I use distilled water or something else?

u/gdz526 · 1 pointr/PCOS

My acupuncturist had me on Mintran by Standard Process. It’s helped quite a bit. I’ve also gotten it on eBay for cheaper.

u/Vailhem · 0 pointsr/MapPorn

People really should start nebulizing a diluted (with distilled water) form of Lugol's iodine for more reasons (one, two, three) than just it's ability to kill cancer.

scary map, btw...
