Is J.CROW'S&reg; Lugol's Solution of Iodine good for Arthritis? I started taking Sulfur Defence and a review said to take with this?

I don't have arthritis and don't know anything about a link between iodine use or deficiency, and arthritis. I recommend the book "Iodine Why you Need it Why You Can't Live Without It" by David Brownstein. It answers all sorts of questions like this. You can probably get it on Amazon.

It is low in iodine (daily amount, or what is needed to get healthy again), but it is better than most. Lugol's solution is much stronger, but the kelp is safer/less painful.

I've been using this product, rubbing it into my skin with no rashes or bad side effects. I swear by this product as one of the best for arthritis and joint pain. I started using it years ago for sore, aching muscles after working out. Still works great! Maybe the label should have read do not apply to wounds, irritated or broken skin.

The ultra with Omega-3 was the first Move Free product I have used. My husband and I have good resultswith the ultra Omega-3. My husband had pain in his knee and I had arthritis pain prior to take the UltraOmega-3.

The iodine used in J.CROW'S® Lugol's Solution is derived from mined crystals, not from shellfish or kelp.

I have no idea, as I threw the bottle away!! Did you read my review of the product? It actually put me in the hospital. You need to make sure you don't have Hashimoto's Thyroiditis before taking this supplement. (MANY people have that autoimmune disease without knowing that they do) Most people who are having symptoms of low thyroid actually have Hashimoto's. I certainly wish I had known!!

I find this product very soothing and use it when my sinus are inflamed. My reading of the instructions is that you can use it daily. the package states "place 1 or 2 drops in each nostril once or twice a day, or as directed by a physician." It also states that you each drop of "Ponaris" contains approximately 150 mcg of iodine & to consult your physician if you are concerned with your iodine intake.

I make fresh juice every morning using a few different kinds of vegs. and apple and some pineapple. I add the fresh turmeric to the juice I make. I also add fresh ginger. The two together are supposed to be very helpful for arthritis which I also have. It helps me with the pain in my joints. I also am not as stiff as I used to be when I get up in the am.

I'm allergic to ibuprofen so I don't have a direct comparison, but I am taking other medications for my RA and I find that Organic Curcumin augments these and does relieve some of my joint pain. I believe that anything that decreases my inflammation, which the Curcumin does, is a good thing.

There is a small amount of real evidence that glucsamine-sulfate and condrotin sulfate combinations DO help arthritis. (It seems to help my wife.. she is a doctor.) There have been some studies with the HCL versions and they did NOT help. (I don't know if I can find those studies again or not...). I suspect the HCL is cheaper to manufacture since many products that used to have the sulfate now have it replaced with HCL, and since the supplements industry has succeeded in preventing any kind of regulation of its products, the only way to find out is to try. And it may take at least a couple of months of use for any one product to see if it will help - any improvements will be very gradual.

I specialize in thyroid disease and iodine deficiency. Every one of my patients with Hashimoto's Thyroiditis takes 12.5 mg of Iodoral with 200 micrograms of selenium daily. Hashimoto's is the number one cause of hypothyroidism in the US followed by iodine deficiency.

Gosh I don't know but I have lupus and very, very dry skin and it certainly helped me. I also take Sweet Wheat and omega 3.

Iodine is good for so many things, wouldn't surprise me if it's good for arthritis as well. though I haven't taken it for that particular reason, I will say it's helped my older dog tremendously moving around easier on his old joints, so I guess it does. Read up on taking iodine, my husband and I take it every day, but we now take Nascent iodine, it's even better for you and matches more like the iodine your body should produce, Amazon also carries it, more expense but worth it.

My rheumatologist want me to take it for bone deficiency. With my arthritis it will help my bones stay strong.

This is definitely the gelatin that is good for arthritic joints. You can take supplements for arthritis with gelatin in them but I just make jello for me and my kids with organic juice and this gelatin and everyone wins!

I have done a lot of research on the best formula to use for myself and my family. Most nutritionists I encountered have recommended Lugol's with a solution of 5% Iodine and 10% Potassium Iodide. I am happy with my decision to purchase this formula.
