All fucoidan products must derive their fucoidan, which is a beneficial marine polysaccharide, from "brown" seaweeds such as kombu (kelp), arame (kelp), mozuku (kelp), limu moui (kelp), wakame, mekabu (wakame), or hijiki. To make a long story short, limu moui (kelp), which is farmed in the waters surrounding the South Pacific island of Tonga, is the source used by supplement manufacturers to derive fucoidan. Like all kelps, limu moui is a rich source of iodine, which like zinc and selenium, is a beneficial antioxidant mineral. Many misinformed people are worried that the high levels of iodine in seaweeds might cause thyroid cancer. However, in one recent scientific study done in Japan, it was discovered that the highest incidence of thyroid cancer in Japan was at Hiroshima and Nagasaki, not in the northeastern coastal areas of Japan where average monthly seaweed consumption is much higher than in all other areas of Japan. In any event, thyroid cancer is an extremely rare cancer. Only 1 to 3 people in every 1,000 die of thyroid cancer during their lifetime. The big picture, however, is that swallowing seaweed capsules will NOT deliver the same health benefit as eating the whole food. The beneficial (phyco)chemicals in "brown" seaweeds include the beneficial marine carotenoid, fucoxanthin, the beneficial marine polysaccharide, fucoidan, the beneficial marine polysaccharide, laminarin, the beneficial marine fiber, alginate, the beneficial marine long-chain omega-3 fatty acid, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), the beneficial marine (phyco)sterol, fucosterol, the beneficial marine polyphenols called, phlorotannins, the beneficial marine antioxidant mineral, iodine, the beneficial marine probiotic bacteria which cling to the seaweeds, various beneficial marine triterpenoids, various beneficial marine peptides, and various beneficial marine antioxidant alkaloids.

On my bottle in the ingredient list it says Potassium Iodide "to standardize potency". However it is not listed in the amount per serving, only iodine at 150 mcg

Yes, it does. The label on the bottle say exactly that each tablet contains "150mcg Iodine (as potassium iodine)". My wife takes these and she says its one of the one of the better multi-vitamins she has used over the years.

Hi, Danny. Only 2 ingredients, Potassium Iodide, and purified water. Works very well. You only need a minute amount of iodine each day for your thyroid to work better.

One drop is a dose and contain 150 mcg or .150 mg of iodine. The Mcg(micrograms) are 1000 time smaller than the Mg (milligrams)

No. It contains all natural trace elements that our bodies deprive since they are not in most foods. Iodine was added to salt years ago as a measure the government tried knowing we are Iodine deficient. It is not near enough. All they needed to do was have doctors perform simple iodine tests and have people take Iodine. The government only cares about patented items like prescriptions to make them money so they never opened up. Now, they wait and prescribe drugs instead of simple homeopathic Iodine. Look for Lugol's Iodine in a dropper. There is 2% or %5. I use 2% and currently add 6 drops to my coffee every morning. It is not noticable in coffee but without a strong drink, it is nasty awful tasting. Good luck.

You are right: It is not shown on the bottle. I know I like it very much and I have a 5% Lugol's iodine and it says on the bottle total iodine 6.25mg per one drop which is 4096% of % DV. Where the nascent is about 2.7 mg per 6 drops (1796%DV). I think because it is a different kind of iodine (elemental), it is difficult to compare it to the iodine/potassium iodide. I hope this helps. Best wishes.

The bottle does not indicate that it contains iodine, BUT I wouldn't leave it at that if I was you. The website the bottle refers you to is drsinatra.com I would ask them this question, especially if there is an allergy involved.

It contains 150 mcg of iodine (potassium iodide). Other ingredients are: purified water, citric acid, and sodium benzoate. There is no ammonia in it, and it is odorless.

I didn't see Iodine in this multivitamin. There is another good multi for women by Emerald Laboratories. It's also a whole food based vitamin capsule, coenzymated and with probiotics. It does have kelp in it.

Great question.Iodine has a shelf life of approximately 1 year. The 3 months of doses is based on the recommended few drops a day which I don't do so my bottle doesn't last that long! :-)

Not sure. The bag says it does not contain iodine in fine print, but I think it is possible it might anyways contain iodine naturally. Sorry I could not be of more help here.
1700409
the answer to that question is on the back of the bottle -- total iodine/iodide -- 12.5 mg; iodine 5 mg; iodide 7.5 mg

The bottle states "Electrified aqueous Iodine (1%). Approx. 600 mcg per drop."

The label does not indicate iodine in the short list of ingredients, although it does refer to a "proprietary blend" of Red Marine Algae. Unless the different algae used in the "proprietary blend" contain iodine in their natural state, my supposition is that this product does not contain iodine.
