Take 500 mg of tyrosine + selenium + iodine in the morning to feed the thyroid

----------Just to be clear, she didn't mean 500mg of *each*. She meant 500mg

of tyrosine, plus *some* selenium plus *some* iodine. You would never want to

take 500mg of selenium or iodine. Selenium can become toxic at levels not too

far from those recommended for supplementation, and I have a book that says that

amount is 1000mcg or 1mg. In AI, Andy recommends 50-300mcg of selenium, and I

was recommended to take between 200-400mcg/day by one doctor. Andy doesn't give

a recommendation (amount) for iodine in AI, and suggestions for this might vary

quite a bit, as states below. You can do an iodine loading test. I

know VRP offers it now, and there are probably other places.-----------Jackie

(perhaps

in lieu of Armour?). I've been using a product from NOW " Potassium plus

Iodine " which

has 225 mcg of iodine. You can start low and work up, still staying well below

the super

high doses (one Iodoral is 12.5 mg). I'm at about 2-3 mg per day now.

I've read on another list that iodine can help not only thyroid, but raise

progesterone

levels.
