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.

Affordable, Small, digestible came in record time

I don't typically write reviews for supplements but after a few days of use, I could tell that my body was deficient in Iodine. I used to eat a typical SAD diet but now I've incorporated more fruits and vegetables into my diet (green smoothies, salads, etc.). I felt a little change in my body but never got the progress that I wanted. I suffer from chronic head congestion and it seemed that nothing could help me drain my sinuses/head. I started taking this Potassium Iodide and after a few days of use, I could tell that it was easier to breathe through my nose and that I didn't feel pressure in my head. After doing some research, I learned that Potassium Iodide is used to thin and loosen mucus among other actions. Most Americans don't get the minimal amount of Iodine in their daily diet and this supplement has been a gamechanger in my life.
