"Exactly what dose is best for you is difficult to determine. But we now know that what were formerly considered high doses of the right form of Iodine are safe and effective. Some iodine-deficient people only need a tablet or two daily. For people with more serious Iodine deficiency problems, Iodine sufficiency must be achieved. This is accomplished with a daily dose of around 37 mgs for three months: four Iodoral or 12 Prolamine Iodine tablets daily.
"And this dose should be achieved slowly—starting with one Prolamine Iodine tablet daily, increasing one to two tablets daily each week. Without side effects, the dose should be increased weekly until the iodine sufficiency dose of 12 daily is achieved. With Iodoral, start with one tablet daily and increase by one tablet each week until you are taking four tablets daily. Either way, after achieving the full iodine sufficiency dose, it should be maintained for three months."
