Re: When urinary iodine levels go down after beginning Iodine

Lynne,

Ah yes - Those pesky malfunctioning symporters !

This has had me buffaloed for months. The range of required supplements has a lot to do with this. My question is how do we know what dosage of each supplement to take? Are there any guidelines?

From "The Guide" at Yahoo Iodine Group
a. Vitamin C – 2,000 – 5,000 mgs / day – supports the symporters and assists as an antioxidant to detoxing.
b. Selenium – 200 – 400 mcg / day – needed for detoxification and thyroid hormone creation.
c. Unrefined salt (Celtic) – ½ tsp / day – supports adrenals, binds to bromide and assists in removal, supports symporters (sodium Iodine symporters or NIS)

From BreastCancerChoices:
300-600 mg magnesium oxide (Iodine Investigation Project participants prefer
magnesium glycinate or magnesium citrate.)

When we take the minimum should it be for ALL supplements? When we take the max, should it be for ALL supplements? Why would we take the minimum or the max?

Many thanks,
