Tim's Iodine Routine

Supplementation Steps & Routine

The following iodine routine explains the steps I took to correct my iodine deficiency and then maintain proper levels. LiveLikeTim Lugol’s Solution is highly concentrated, so only a few drops are needed per day. Each drop is approximately 2.5-3.0mg of iodine. I like to fill a glass with filtered water and squeeze out the desired drops. The water turns a light yellow tint, and the iodine is virtually tasteless.

I invite you to do your own research to determine your own iodine supplementation routine. As with all routines found on LiveLikeTim, consult your doctor before beginning any supplementation or dietary regimen.

WARNING: A small percentage of the population are allergic to iodine. Do not take Lugol's Solution if you are allergic to iodine. Excessive iodine intake can lead to the development of medical conditions, such as hyperthyroid disorders. Consult a physician before beginning iodine supplementation.
