Re: New poster - iodine enhancing/interfering with nutrients?

[Guest guest]

The only nutrient that I have seen Iodine draw down in levels is ferritin. We are not quite sure why this issue but adding a B6 Complex with some additional iron usually restores the levels to normal. Then supplementing with a multivitamin seems to maintain the levels. I am not aware of issues with Vit K. How are you monitoring Vit K levels to know they are not staying up?

The body functions better overall with iodine on board. Have not heard of it enhancing the usage of other vitamins but anything is possible.

New poster - iodine enhancing/interfering with nutrients?

Hello, I'm a new poster but have been doing the iodine thing since last July, following the user documents, etc. Two questions:1. Has anyone found that supplements they tried without success before iodine now work? I found one poster who said her B12 shots didn't work until after she started iodine. 2. Does anyone suspect that iodine is interfering with levels of nutrients OTHER THAN the companion ones (magnesium/iron/selenium/etc.)? I might be nuts, but I feel like it's harder to keep my vitamin K levels up at higher doses of iodine.For what it's worth, I'm recording my iodine experiment at http://www.adnuther.com/iodine-diary/ . Many thanks.Merj

This concerns me a lot, since I have been chronically anemic for years due to heavy menstruation. Not thrilled about the thought of having to add yet another supplement (b6) to my already overloaded regimen. How common is the loss of ferritin?len From: " Buist, ND HC" <stephaniebnd@...> iodine Sent: Wednesday, February 1, 2012 5:52 PM Subject: Re: New poster - iodine enhancing/interfering with nutrients?

It's hard to say since the only time I hear about it is when someone has an issue. You only add B6 Complex if you have issues with increasing levels when supplementing with iron.

I can definitely feel the effects on my iron levels, which has been a problem

for me for years, and I do take iron and B6 for that. I use vitamin K to control

heavy bleeding, and it seems that with iodine I need to take a little more of

it. I am guessing that if you are super-deficient in anything, as with me and

vitamin K, taking a whole lot of something else (100 mg of iodine for months,

say) will probably affect it somehow. Or...maybe the iron competes with it. I

know they work together somehow.

Anyway, thank you for your reply, . This site has been a great help to

me.

How much vitamin k do you take to control bleeding? I've tried just about everything but nothing seems to make any difference. Are you taking k1 or k2?len From: "rheama1@..." <marjijan.rhea@...> iodine Sent: Friday, February 3, 2012 11:14 AM Subject:

I started with Solgar's vitamin K2 100 mcg capsules. I saw a big difference

after I'd been on 700 mcg for one complete cycle. 500 mcg only put a dent in it.

I got tired of taking 7 pills a day so I switched last week to Thorne's liquid

vitamin K2.

I got the idea from Sandy Connective Tissue Disorder site, but didn't

know that vitamin K came in supplement form until the Iodiners started

talking about it.

Good luck!
