We need to keep iodine flowing throughout the body to make sure it is absorbed and that the halides are not absorbed. This method of increasing saturation to prevent uptake of harmful molecules is the same idea behind taking emergency doses of iodine.
Iodine is absorbed mostly and most quickly by the thyroid. I-131 is a radioactive form of iodine that is usually present in nuclear emergencies. We want to avoid absorbing I-131 as much as possible by saturating our iodine-absorbing tissues with molecular iodine and/or some form of iodide. Taking a high dose (60-130 mg) of iodide will flood the thyroid with iodine causing the I-131 to pass by without being taken up.
New to supplementing with iodine? Experiencing side effects could be a good sign as we expect high levels of iodine to trigger detox processes. Iodine affects many different tissues, systems and functions in the body. It is difficult to predict how this will play out for each person. Some may experience various discomforts during the day and at night. Start with lower iodine dosages and then work your way up.
