Is there natural iodine in this sea salt?

No, Roberta, it is not iodized in any way. No natural iodine or added iodine. It does have some magnesium and potassium in it but no iodine. In fact, that is why I have actually gotten away from using it and have switched back to ordinary iodized table salt. Not all table salt is iodized either. You have to actually look for it on the label nowadays. Our bodies really need iodine and most people in the U.S. do not get enough of it. Years ago, it was added to our bread and we got it that way. However, eventually that iodine was taken out of the bread and replaced with bromine instead (which is not good for you). Go figure! Personally, I would recommend you find an iodized salt to use.

Iodized salt is really no longer necessary at least for the US diet. The upper midwest (michigan) and northwest have relatively iodine deficient soil. Before the mega grocery stores when produce was bought from local farmers, iodine deficiency was a problem in those areas (pre 1920 before iodized salt). Today, most of our diets have plenty of iodine from a number of different sources.

I have the package in front of me Roberta. It states "This salt does NOT supply iodide, a necessary nutrient".... There is nothing that talks about iodine.

There is no iodine listed on the label. There are 420 mgs. of sodium per teaspoon. You can probably call them. The importer name is: Source Atlantique, Inc., Englewood Cliffs, NJ 07632. Good luck.

No. The ingredient list says only Sea Salt and the nutrition facts do not list any minerals.

Potassium iodide is a salt, it consists of one atom of potassium and one of iodine, no shellfish, this is a chemical. Iodine is the element, pure iodine. These are extremely pure chemicals, used for a nutrient grade iodine solution. I have both, and I can't use kelp either, but I can use Lugol's just fine. Kelp has a bazillion other things in it, including chlorophyll and other salts and trace minerals, this doesn't. Lugol's is just these two chemicals, mixed in the manner explained because iodine will actually evaporate as you watch it - slowly. These have to be pharmaceutical or reagent grade - the purest there is because people are eating it, mine are. There are youtube videos that can help explain. Take care.

No, Iodine is not listed as one of its ingredients -- but, unless you don't like the taste of fish, you can always add a little dulse powder to it. How are you with sushi? Actually, I'm almost 100% vegan, but you can make vegetarian sushi very easily with avocado, cucumber, or mushrooms & veggies and get your iodine that way. Best wishes, Carena

It contains potassium iodine, sodium iodine and molecular iodine from kelp. I assume that the potassium and sodium iodine are from minerals but not sure. Terry Naturally is one of the brands that I trust for the purity of the product. When I took just kelp it did not have the same results as Tri-iodine. With this I have visual results so am sure I have inside results also.

Short answer: YES. The company says: "Real Salt does contain naturally-occurring iodine, but not enough to satisfy the recommended daily allowance of 150 micrograms. Real Salt doesn't provide the recommended daily allowance of protein, either. Or fat. Because nature intended salt to provide our bodies with sodium chloride and trace minerals!So, instead of using chemically-processed, unhealthy salt in order to get iodine, we like to stick with Real Salt and get naturally occurring iodine from other delicious sources like kelp, yogurt, eggs, strawberries, and mozzarella cheese."

The sea salt is just a gimmick to make people think it is a different more healthy salt. The truth is sals is salt NaCl. Almost all salt comes from the oceans from one time or another.

Sea salt definitely. That's what I have in mine. Course kosher salt should also be fine.

No! This product does not contain Iodine. Yet one should consult his or her doctor before taking this supplement.This product is used by Ron Dello Russo and he finds a significant, positive effect in his system and would recommend this to his family & friends > Thank you

Celtic Sea Salt has a naturally occurring, trace amount of iodine at around 0.68 parts per million. Even though it is an important mineral component, our salt is not considered a significant source of daily iodine. However, it is an all-natural, pure source of iodine that is quickly absorbed and stored in your body! Doctors who recommend non-iodized salt for their patients refer them to Celtic Sea Salt brand. You may want to research the process of how other salts are iodized. A salt labeled as "Iodized" typically means that is was chemically added to the salt, possibly using an additive to bind the iodine to that salt. Thus, it is a misnomer that salt alone is a high source of iodine. Our Celtic Sea Salt Gourmet Seaweed Seasoning contains 350 mcg of Iodine per tsp. This version is a truly natural, iodine rich sea salt. Hope this helps...

Yes. It is an excellent natural source of iodine. Much better than iodized salt.

none is added to it, as a natural salt it has a small bit, not enough to replace a low iodine issuebrett

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.

According to the manufacturer, this iodine comes from deposits in the earth, not the ocean.
