Antioxidants & iodine

I've tried searching the forums but can't find the answer... I know vitamin c and selenium are to be taken hours apart from Iodine because they're antioxidants... and Iodine is an oxidant.
but what about ALA when it's taken 12 hours before/after iodine?
I wanted to try ALA again, but ease into it to avoid blood Sugar crash again, I only take ALA at night before bed and only once a week. But I'm noticing that if I take ALA on a Wednesday night at 11pm, I don't feel ANY effects of Iodine taken for the next couple days (like last time) and I mean zero effects. I don't even catch a faint iodine scent on myself when I first get into the shower like I normally do... and I'm back to freezing feet again. I'm not understanding how 1 capsule of an antioxidant is still active in my body for 4 days and wiping out the iodine. I guess FEELING the effects isn't as important as knowing it's in there doing it's job, but there's no way to be sure.
Does this happen to anyone else?

This is a reply to # 2,211,219I am in favour of making the Iodine supplementation as easy as possible, so I took my Iodine with vit c all these years. My boys and other cases I had, too. Still worked well.
Mixing too many protocols in one go, I would recommend not to do; especially the first year. At least until one have come to a level of relatively good health. Just a general rule I learned by doing.- Re: Antioxidants & iodine marcus2013

This is a reply to # 2,211,295I agree with Gina. Mixing things will confuse you all the time.
Never ever heard of having to take the Selenium hours apart from Iodine. Never ever.
What is true is that if you mix Vitamin C + Lugol's it will convert the Iodine into iodiDe. But it's a matter of waiting 20 minutes between one and the other, or using Iodoral. AFAIK.
Cheers

This is a reply to # 2,211,299I never did either until I was searching the ALA. I was wondering since that was an antioxidant and Iodine is an oxidant.. if they are just cancelling each other out?
That's when I stumbled on past posts about taking them separately (C and selenium)
I've already kept them separate, but I can't figure out why ALA just wipes everything out of my body.
I had a heavy metal test too... hair and urine. It said I'm lower in HMs than what they'd expect in a 34 year old American female.
I don't get it...

This is a reply to # 2,211,295I saw where you mixed yours in OJ, so I continued to do so. I find that if I mix it with water, it burns my mouth and throat for a bit.
I do the Iodine first thing in the AM. Have a 12oz cup of coffee on the way to work and then take selenium, b complex, msm, centrum vit/mineral, coq10, vit D
At lunch msm & vit c, dinner msm & vit c, bedtime msm, vit c & magnesium. It's no particular protocol... the only real health complain is the nagging morning chest congestion. I'm blowing a 490 on the peak flow meter and have no wheezing, but theres something i can't shake in there. The coldness I can't explain. Iodine only improved it slightly... but the ALA feels like it wipes everything out of me.
The ALA I wanted to add because of the antioxidant hype... but it's looking like it's doing something to where its pushing the Iodine out or neutralizing it. Maybe I'm just one of those people who can't take it. What I really wanted to grab at the store was NAC.

This is a reply to # 2,211,219I have always took my selenium with the iodine. Didn't realise that was the wrong thing to do.

This is a reply to # 2,211,314IMO, not wrong, just different ways of doing it. We are all our own guineapigs, testing and experimenting on our bodies what works or not.
As soon as the Iodine hits the blood stream, there will be anti oxidants present anyway (hopefully selenium, too:) - Re: Antioxidants & iodine username7414

This is a reply to # 2,211,314i don't think it's "wrong" - i take my selenium about a half hour - an hour after the Iodine and with my morning supplements... and never had a problem with it. i've read posts where they say to keep them hours apart... but if it's not broke, don't fix it. i'm not changing it.

This is a reply to # 2,211,553it's because Iodine is an oxidant, so it's suposed to be taken away from antioxidants

i do the same thing. i'll take Iodine with oj - then a little bit later take the selenium and everything besides vitamin c. it must not matter too much?- Re: Antioxidants & iodine Stephy79

This is a reply to # 2,211,219I think a lot of people missunderstand the most basic principles ta work here.
Oxidation is a chemical reaction that transfers electrons or hydrogen from a substance to an oxidizing agent. The reverse is then true of anti-oxidants. An anti-oxidant will DONATE electrons and ALL essential nutrients can donate electrons and in turn are ALL anti-oxidants. The difference is in their physical structure and their ability to penetrate and thus donate electrons more effectively to some tissue over others.

This is a reply to # 2,211,835I think I misunderstand a lot!
For some reason ALA or that in combination with my other supplements, which are just vitamins and cosupplements will either some how pull Iodine out of my body and/or block it from being absorbed.
Blood level was only 16 after taking 120mg of Lugol's 3 hours prior and over 24 hours, more than 90% was excreted in urine. Also done with 120 mg as opposed to 50mg standard.
Iodine testing without ALA will be done on the 20th. So I don't know those numbers... just know it feels different when ALA is used. - Re: Antioxidants & iodine trapper/kcmo

This is a reply to # 2,211,835in my experience, Iodide has both an antioxidant effect and a pH balancing effect. iodine, of course, it an oxidant.
