Re: Iodine and Vitamin C

vitamin c and food turn elemental Iodine (lugols and iodoral contain Iodide and iodine) into iodide.

usually enzymes in the body can turn Iodide into iodine.
but if not, and since nobody knows for sure, one should ingest Iodide (prefered by the thyroid ) and Iodine (predered by tissues like breasts etc).

i took my 100mg Lugols in 2 veggi caps on an empty stomach
for about a year now. All fine.

but here r also ppl that mix their Lugols with vit c or food.

i ve tried it yesterday but it made me feel really weird.
dizzy , weak ... flu like. not sure yet if the mix of vit c and lugols
was the cause though.

some say elemental Iodine causes oxidative stress on the body. dunno yet if vitamin c taken bit afterwards (hour or two) levels that stress out or if indeed one should take both together and rely on the bodies ability of turning enough iodide into iodine .
