Ya Iodine can be tough.

There is even some controversy about some kelp being high in bromine as well as iodine so its not always of much benefit...I think it depends on where its from. Normally I would prefer to get a nutrient from natural sources...but it might be helpful to take pure iodine in this case.

I have lugol's solution (potassium iodide)...1 drop is like 4,200% daily value which is still too much for me so I made a diluted tincture by mixing it with vodka in a 1:10 ratio. Now 1 drop is ~400% and I just take 1 drop a day to make sure I at least have some.
