A member asked:
Is there a iodine supplement that i can take over the counter?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
WHY?: Why do you want to supplement iodine? Excess iodine can lead to thyroid problems in some people, and many people get skin rashes from iodine. There's lots of iodine in your diet, particularly salt and bread.
