Guest guest Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 ***RE: Can't take Vitamin-C with Iodine either. Turns the elemental Iodine in Iodide. You need both.*** Hi All, The role of iodine in Hashis is still being debated. I would like to expand on the above comment hopefully to ease any misconception. The reason I take a product like Iodoral is because some of my body parts prefer the elemental iodine and other parts prefer the iodide. Some people feel the need to take antioxidants separate from the iodine by at least 2-3 hours. Others take them together. The debate is that vitamin C can turn elemental iodine into potassium iodide. Iodoral is coated to go into the intestine so it may not really be an issue to take a vitamin C capsule with an Iodoral pill as the vitamin C will dissolve in the stomach. I take my main mix of vitamins and minerals with a meal in the early afternoon or evening so mine is split anyway but it is something to consider. In reality, no one knows how much elemental iodine gets turned into iodide in the body though, or if the body can convert it back. What we do know is outside the body if Lugols (a liquid form of Iodoral) is put into a vitamin C based juice the color will go away indicating the change from iodine to iodide, but the human body is infinitely more complex. Many have taken liquid Lugols and Vitamin C together and feel they did/do benefit so we have no way of knowing if they got more out of it or not.
