Iodoral 6.25mg by Allergy Research Group

If you rarely use iodized table salt, avoid dairy, or eat little seafood, you’re a classic low‑intake pattern for iodine. This 6.25 mg tablet is a repletion-level iodine supplement, not a multivitamin sprinkle. It fits adults with low intake who are tracking thyroid labs like TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone), Free T4, and Free T3, or checking Urinary Iodine to confirm status. It’s also considered in recurrent fibrocystic breast discomfort under clinician guidance.

Your thyroid concentrates iodide to build T4 and T3, the hormones that set metabolic pace. Iodide is added to tyrosine on thyroglobulin (the protein scaffold your thyroid uses to build hormone) by thyroid peroxidase. Too little iodine limits output; too much at once can briefly shut the system down (the Wolff–Chaikoff effect, a short-term safety brake). Clinically, normalizing intake steadies production and can shift TSH and Free T4 within 4 to 8 weeks.

Take one tablet daily with food and a full glass of water to minimize stomach upset or metallic taste. If your diet has been very low in iodine, some clinicians start every other day for 1 to 2 weeks, then move to daily. Recheck TSH, Free T4, and Free T3 within 4 to 8 weeks, or use Urinary Iodine for near-term intake. Many pair iodine with selenium (100–200 mcg) if their Selenium, Serum is low.

Avoid high-dose iodine in pregnancy or breastfeeding unless prescribed; excess can disrupt the baby’s thyroid. Be cautious if you have Hashimoto’s or Graves’ (autoimmune thyroid disease), a multinodular goiter, or a history of iodine-induced hyperthyroidism—coordinate closely with your endocrinologist and monitor TPO antibodies (markers of thyroid autoimmunity). If you take levothyroxine, amiodarone, lithium, or antithyroid drugs, discuss dosing changes and extra lab checks first.
