Is there a way to find out if I am definicient in iodine/iodide?

[Guest guest]

Hi All,

I just called the doctor for the results of my blood test, and although they

told me that my thyroid levels were high, they did not test for my iodine or

iodide levels. Is there a way to test to see if I am deficient in these?

Thanks!!

You will want to get these test results because if they are using TSH as a measurement for thyroid health you may still have an issue.

Testing can be done through www.hakalalabs.com - described in the Iodine Supplementing guide.
