A member asked:

Nd has me taking 2x a dose of a supplement that has iodine in it which equals 1,800mcg.is this safe to ingest this amount daily?been on it over month

A doctor has provided 1 answer

NO. Toxicity occurs: at1100 mcg per day. You are taking way too much. Cut down to 250 mcg per day or you are going to get iodine toxic.
