One 12.5 mg tablet of Iodoral supplies an amount of total elemental iodine comparable to the average daily intake of this essential element by mainland Japanese. - Iodine is an essential element. Although its main function is in the production of thyroid hormones by the thyroid gland, other organs in the body have a need for iodine in order to function normally. - Several studies have demonstrated a need for iodine intake. The minimum amount of iodine determined in these studies is equivalent to 0.1 mg/kg body weight/day. For example, for a 50 kg woman, the daily amount of iodine would be 5 mg. The thyroid gland needs iodide to function properly. The original study done 80 years ago in adolescent girls used 9 mg iodide daily. - During the early 1900's, the iodine/iodide solution called Lugol solution was used extensively, effectively and safely in medical practice, for both low activity and above normal activity of the thyroid gland. The recommended daily intake for iodine supplementation was 2 to 6 drops of Lugol solution, providing 12.5 to 37.5 mg total iodide. That amount was mentioned as lately as 1995 in a book on Pharmaceutical Sciences. - Several investigators have shown convincing evidence for the need for adequate iodine intake. Japanese women living in Japan consumed a daily average of 13.8 mg total elemental iodine and some research suggests this is an important factor for their relative health. In the 1960's, one slice of bread in the USA contained the full RDA of 0.15 mg iodine. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B005MKP9OK | | Best Sellers Rank | #22,034 in Health ( See Top 100 in Health ) #529 in Mineral Supplements | | Brand | Optimox | | Brand Name | Optimox | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 2,833 Reviews | | Diet Type | Gluten Free | | Flavor | Unflavored | | Flavour | Unflavored | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00882858858664 | | Item Form | Tablet | | Item form | Tablet | | Manufacturer | Optimox | | Manufacturer Part Number | 140970000003 | | Model Number | 103513 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Primary Supplement Type | Potassium | | Primary supplement type | Potassium | | Product Benefits | Thyroid Support | | Product benefits | Thyroid Support | | UPC | 882858858664 | | Unit Count | 90.0 Count | | Unit count | 90.0 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Optimox - **Flavour:** Unflavored - **Item form:** Tablet - **Primary supplement type:** Potassium - **Unit count:** 90.0 Count ## Images ![Optimox - Iodoral High Potency Iodine/Potassium Iodide Supplement 90 Tablets 103513 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/5135fl71g5L.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is the product formulated with ingredients that are mercury free and do not come from China or India?** A: The label nor the insert pamphlet state whether it is manufacturer in China or India. It only states that it is manufacturer for Optimox Corporation, Torrance, CA 90510-3378- www.optimox.xom 1(800)223-1601 **Q: The last I bought was about $35. for 180 tablets. Now $165--WHY?** A: Optimox doesn't even carry Iodoral/sell Iodoral on their own website any longer without any explanation. Something shady is going on. I was able to buy a 180 count bottle from Lucky Vitamin for $37.99. **Q: Are the ingredients natural or synthetic?** A: Iodoral is all natural and contain only two ingredients both iodine -based. They are Iodine and Potassium Iodide. Numerous studies show that iodine deficiency leads to hypothyroidism; an increase in iodine usually soothes the problem. Iodine must be paired with Vitamin A to actually work within the thyroid properly. You can take Iodoral until your thyroid functions normally. Iodine cures hypothyroidism a leading cause of weight gain. I hope I have answered your question. **Q: I am curious why anyone would buy this when you can get J.CROW'S® Lugol's Solution of Iodine 1/3 the cost?** A: I use J.Crow's because it is approved for cancer patients by the Gerson Cancer Institute and it contains just distilled water, Potassium Iodide and Iodine. It is sourced from "mined crystals from 320 million year old natural brine deposits two miles beneath the earth's surface in Western USA (one of the few places in the world where such deposits exist). Not made from shellfish. The water used is distilled, pure, spring water. Always fresh. Does not expire." Their website says: "Calculating Number of MG's of Iodine and Iodide per Drop of LUGOL'S 2%: Each VERTICAL "metric" drop (= 1/20ml) is approximately1.0 mg of iodine and 2.0 mg of potassium iodide. The Iodide portion of Potassium Iodide is about 75% so that is 1.5 mg. Therefore the total Iodine plus Iodide is 1.0 + 1.5 = 2.5 mg and 2 drops is about 5.0 mg's of iodine/iodide (2.0 mg iodine, 3.0 mg iodide).

One paradigm tells you not to take more than a few micrograms and the other one tells you you need to take doses in the milligram range. I wasn’t sure who to believe and whether I should take a high dose of iodine (as in this supplement) so I decided to dive into the science behind it all and let my test results bear out who was telling the truth. Luckily for me, my functional medicine doctor was on board and told me she would support me and monitor me through testing. So here is what happened. In the world of conventional medicine the view is if you take too much iodine it will cause autoimmune thyroid disease; by contrast, the world of functional medicine the view is if you don’t get enough iodine you will get autoimmune thyroid disease. After doing my own investigation, it appears that the conventional medicine paradigm does not fully understand the science behind iodine and thyroid. When a person begins taking high dose iodine the blood level of TSH will rise. Conventional medicine will see this as a negative. However, research shows that this is a normal biological response in a situation where a person has been deficient in iodine for a prolonged period of time. When there has been a long-standing iodine deficiency, the body down-regulates its production of NIS symporters. NIS symporters are found on many different glands in the body and their purpose is to transport iodine from the bloodstream into the gland. When iodine is lacking in the diet, the body will not make as many NIS symporters simply because they are not needed if there is no iodine to transport. So when a person starts taking iodine in the milligram range the body will increase production of TSH in order to stimulate production of NIS symporters to meet the demand now that iodine is available. A good explanation of this process can be seen in the video “P2P Webinar: Iodine & Autoimmune Thyroid Disorders” by Dr. David Brownstein on YouTube. In this video webinar Dr. Brownstein also explains how iodine works within the thyroid gland. Conventional medicine alleges that milligram ranges of iodine supplementation will result in a rise in thyroid autoimmune antibodies. However, Dr. Brownstein explains this is actually because they haven’t gone high enough with the dose. If the dose is not sufficient enough to produce iodinated lipids (i.e., δ-Iodolipids {delta iodolipids}) within the thyroid gland, the increase in H202 that occurs during the production of thyroid hormone can damage the TPO enzyme. This in turn will trigger an immune response to produce TPO antibodies to destroy the damaged enzymes. However, if the level of iodine is sufficient enough to trigger the production of δ-iodolactone, it provides negative feedback to the NADPH oxidase system which puts the brakes on the production of H2O2, and this will result in a reduction of thyroid autoimmune antibodies. I proved this with my own testing. I slowly worked my way up to 50 mg of iodine in the form of Lugol’s tablets (using either Iodoral and/or Lugotabs). Just as Dr. Brownstein claimed, my TSH rose, my T3 stayed within limits, and my thyroid autoimmune antibodies went down. As Dr. Brownstein Stephanie Buist both explain in their YouTube videos, the TSH may stay elevated for an extended period of time until the body restores the population of NIS symporters now that the body is being repleted with Iodine. I had to personally increase my dosage of iodine slowly and do salt loading due to bromide detox symptoms I had along the way. I feel fortunate to have an integrative/functional medicine endocrinologist on my side throughout this whole process being that I did not know which camp was telling the truth and what would happen. The only thing I can say is that I have had amazing results in the following areas after taking high dose iodine. My sleep has improved dramatically (I suffer suffered from chronic insomnia), my thyroid nodule shrunk, my Tgab antibody levels went down, my cognition improved, my energy level increased, and my sxs of SICCA completely disappeared after 2 months. Everyone is different so your experience might not be the same as mine. But I encourage everyone to look into this for themselves and find a Doctor who will monitor you and support you through the process. ## Frequently Bought Together - Optimox Iodoral 12.5mg Supplement – Iodine for Thyroid Support, Potassium Iodide Tablets, Lugol Solution, Daily Vitamins & Minerals - 90 Count - Optimox ATP Cofactors Supplement - Vitamin B Complex for Men & Women, Vitamin B2, Vitamin B3, 100mg Riboflavin, 500mg Niacin, High Potency Tablets - 90 Count - Pure Encapsulations Selenium - 200 mcg - for Healthy Cellular Function, Immune System & Antioxidant Defenses - Mineral Supplement - Vegan & Gluten Free - 60 Capsules --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/253728827-optimox-iodoral-high-potency-iodine-potassium-iodide-supplement-90-tablets](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/253728827-optimox-iodoral-high-potency-iodine-potassium-iodide-supplement-90-tablets) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-09-21*
