I was curious 'bout possible cofactor relationships of organic phosphate and Iodine?
P5P is pyroxidine 5-phosphate, which is activated B6.

Wanted to get your thoughts on the subject. :)

yahoo Iodine post, i'm just putting it up, seems significant, haven't worked through it yet

“I have been on high dose Lugol's Iodine (75 mg) for almost a year and a patch test still wouldn't last longer than 6-7 hours. I took all the cofactors. My thyroid levels were good. Despite having really good alternative MDs, something was still wrong. I was still sick with brain fog, weakness, lethargy, severe adrenal fatigue, etc. etc.


I read recently that a few rare folks can't use regular B6 but need P5P form. I'd kissed every other frog so I tried it. 25 mg every evening. Nothing noticable happened so I tried 25 mg morning and night. I began to have dreams (iodine had not caused this for me). Within 1 week of taking it twice a day, I began to have heart palpatations, brain buzzing and thought I'd gone over the edge of insanity. Blood tests were done and my doctor called to tell me to cut back my Armour. I've never been hyper-thyroid before only hypo. who knew. Did an Iodine patch test and it lasted more than 24 hours.


All this to say if you can't seem to utilize your iodine, try P5P form of B6. Maybe you are one of those "rare" people like me.


I am off all thyroid supplementation including tyrosine and Armour and have cut my iodine to 25 mg.


My brain fog has cleared, pain levels are down, sleep is great, energy levels are improved and Depression is gone. I am calm and hopeful. I would not say I am well but I am on my way.

Thanks for sharing. Fascinating. There was some talk here not too long ago, about needing extra B6 when starting Iodine, so I too started to take 50mg of P5P about 10 days ago - also thinking maybe I need the special active kind... I have not had the same response

I read a bit more here,
Life saving value of P5P and Magnesium

" As a coenzyme, vitamin B6 assists in an amazing variety of tasks – the creation of heme, the iron-containing component of red blood cells; making the hormone serotonin (the “feel good” hormone); processing carbohydrates for energy; keeping the nervous system working smoothly, and supporting hundreds of other jobs."

This might be a helper-nutrient useful for iodine users with a history of depression, headaches, brainfog and the like.

I wonder if iodine might have a role in metabolizing pyroxidine in the liver into P5P ?
