Ferritin levels lowered by iodine intake, what to do

[Guest guest]

Below is an exchange between a member and Steph about ferritin/iron levels and

iodine.

Steph gives concrete instructions on what to do for it. My email program is

funky so I it's

messy but at least the information is there.

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? >

possible. > > Buist, ND HC > > >

- 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
