Iodine Question

CatieC

Hi everyone. I haven't posted in so long but I value everyone's opinion so here's my question. I've been looking to change my multi-vitamin and I found Nature's Way Alive Once Daily. The only thing is that it contains 150 mcg of Iodine (as potassium iodide) .

I'm hypo and have hashi's. Also had a partial thyroidectomy and I'm taking synthroid. Is it wise to take the iodine. Does anyone know of any side effects? React with synthroid? Just don't know what to do.

Yes, laura it is a whole food source supplement and it looked promising until I saw the iodine. Thanks for your reply.

The latest "normal" recommendation for a Hashi patient is to stay away from Iodine while still in the destruction phase of the disease, to prevent aggrivation and swelling of the thyroid. Is this a whole food source supplement?
