Miracle in a bottle (please read)
I have been suffering from hypothyroidism for about two years of unkown etiology (no hashimoto’s, or nodules or any abnormalities on the thyroid). I then developed severe fibrocystic breast disease, and irregular periods. My endocrinologist decided to test me for iodine deficiency and sure enough I am deficient. I researched the best, most easily absorbed form of iodine and nascent iodine came up, which is what led me to this product. I gave it a try, and have been taking it for two months now. I don’t recommend using this product unless you know you have an iodine deficiency. If you aren’t deficient and you get too much of it, it can cause other problems and mineral imbalances. The recommended dosage on the bottle is very strong. It does speed up my heart rate when I take the recommended 3 drops, so I have decreased from 1-2. It will take a while to figure out my thyroid hormones levels, to see if they will return to normal and maybe eventually I can stop taking thyroid medication all together. But I am very pleased to say that my fibrocystic breasts have improved by about 95% after taking this. That is a symptom of iodine deficiency. That and hypothyroidism (symptoms include hair falling out, slow metabolism, dry skin, constipation). My hair finally stopped falling out, and my eyelashes are finally filling out! There is hope!!!! I also had been experiencing some moderate floaters in my vision, that had been getting worse. I was sure it was a vitamin/mineral deficiency as my eye exam revealed no abnormalities. I tried b12 injections, and while that helped other things it didn’t help the floaters. I swear to you, after using this iodine supplement for a month the floaters are 90% gone. I haven’t read anything about floaters being caused from low iodine, but it REALLY helped mine, and that is the only new supplement that I had been taking. I definitely attribute it to that. This is very powerful stuff and I don’t recommend taking it unless your labs indicate you are low in iodine. It is a simple blood test. If you suffer from fibrocystic breasts and symptoms of hypothyroidism then ask your doc to test you for it. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT: Do NOT take this or any other iodine supplement without taking selenium. They work together, and iodine without selenium can cause you to develop thyroid problems such as an autoimmune thyroid condition. Research this stuff before you try it. I highly recommend this product if you are iodine deficient. It works quickly.
