Pure Encapsulations Iodine - Supplement to Support The Thyroid & Help Maintain Healthy Cellular Metabolism - with Premium Potassium Iodide - 120 Capsules

I take this iodine as part of my daily supplement regimen; it's hard to attribute a particular cause and effect given the number of other supplements taken in conjunction, but I have no complaints and it's a small price to pay to know that I'm doing best to optimize health.

Really like this product. Noticed an increase in energy right away. Felt like a bear waking up from hibernation: more alert, more energy, better mood. I take two a day, hoping in a few months it will drop my TSH back into normal range and that it will help lower my cholesterol. Time will tell.

I remember when potassium iodine use to be inexpensive. This is a very pricey product. So far it's worth the investment.

My prof background is in medicine. I strongly believe all supplements shud be FDA approved, but they aren't. In USA the most unbiased supplement approval is USPhowever only NatureMade& Kirkland are the only 2 brands. I do use Thorne, NaureMade, PureEbcapsulations, Nordic, USDA organic Teas (teas are FDA approved)Pure Encapsulations was purchased by Purina yrs ago, however still use a few of their items: Mag glycinate. sublingual B12 and iodine. Years ago I suddenly had sudden onset of an illness with severe fluctuating fatigue one of the hallmarks. I went to an endocrinologist who also had internal medicine degree . Not one of many costly tests showed that i was even borderline hypothyroid. However, He suggested i try a dose of 25mcg of synthyroid. we discussed how my healthy thyroid cud get lazy and not work as well with longterm use. After 6 yrs i ended up on 100mcg synthyroid, 5mcg cytomel twice a day ..and i am a very petite slim female. I stopped goin to him and was diagnosed at Univ StanfordMed with an uncommon mod/severe autoimmune disease. For the last 6 yrs i slowly weaned myself off cytomel,synthyroid, but gettin off the last 25mcg became an issue last year.All my blood work 8-10 months after ceasing still revealed hypothyroid. In fact, an MRI i had for my neck showed the gland had shrunk. I went to a new younger endocrinologist and told HER i am really holistic, and was there anything that would lower my TSH (8.0 ) levels. My T4 free was normal. Got a list of foods with iodine (was already taking), and tried one of these capsules for 2 months. My labs went down to 6 still high. Then she requested I increase the iodine(empty stomach)to twice a day for 2 months. YEAH 4.3. I am so glad i didnt listen to my other Drs about goin back on to synthyroid and my thyroid gland recovered. yes i do believe based on my labs this item worked .

GOOD VALUE

I suffered from extensive hair loss. After I heard about the importance of iodine in maintaining a healthy thyroid, I decided to try it. It helped me to stop the hair loss. Now, I see a lot of new baby hairs coming out.
