A member asked:
Isn't the amount of iodine in iodoral excessive?why is this a recommended iodine supplement? the rda for iodine is only 150 mcg but iodoral has 12 mg!
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Controversial but...: Dr. Guy abraham, a professor at ucla, formulated iodoral & believes 12.5 mg is the average daily intake in japan, has a variety of health benefits & is safe & effective. Others feel he has overestimated average intake in japan.
