More About Suggested Use
The suggested daily amount is 1-4 tablets/day as recommended by your physician. Work closely with your physician while on the Iodoral® program. Report to your physician any history of thyroid surgery and/or radiation, chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis (Hashimoto's), and any previous problem with your thyroid. Before starting Iodoral®, your physician (He/She = He) will order blood tests for hematology, blood chemistry and thyroid functions. He will also perform an ultrasound of your thyroid to measure the size and appearance of your thyroid. Depending on the results of the thyroid function tests and ultrasound, he may order some blood tests for thyroid antibodies. If you are taking thyroid hormones, let your physician know about it. Be aware that Iodoral® enhances the response of your body to thyroid hormones.*(4,6) Subjects on Iodoral® feel warmer in cold environments and that is expected.* However, you will need to cut down the amount of thyroid hormones if you experience palpitation, anxiety, increased sweating and intolerance to heat. That is because Iodoral® decreases your need for thyroid hormones.* Your physician will guide you in titrating downward the amount of thyroid hormones. Your physician will reevaluate you one month afterward if you are on thyroid hormones, and 3 months if not. Keep a record of what you observe while on Iodoral® and show it to your physician.
To test whole body sufficiency for iodine, 4 tablets of Iodoral® are ingested, followed by 24 hr. urine collection. The more deficient a subject is in iodine, the more iodine is retained by the body and the least excreted in the urine. Sufficiency is achieved when 90% or more of the ingested amount is excreted in the urine. In most subjects tested, 3-4 tablets of Iodoral®/day were required to achieve whole body sufficiency within 3 months and the body retained approximately 1.5 gm iodine at sufficiency.*(4,8) Check with your physician for more information about the loading test.
Warning: Ingestion of iodine and/or iodide has been associated with certain complaints. If you experience any of the following, stop ingesting Iodoral® and contact your physician:
Acne-like skin lesions in certain areas of your body
Headache in the frontal sinus
Unpleasant brassy taste
Increased salivation and sneezing
If you experience any unusual symptom since starting on Iodoral®, contact your physician.

Iodoral 12.5 mg delivers a standardized combination of iodine and potassium iodide in tablet form, providing 5 mg iodide and 7.5 mg iodine per dose. Based on the formulation originally developed by Dr. Guy Abraham, this compound supports thyroid hormone synthesis and may help maintain normal thyroid function, as well as supporting breast and overall glandular tissue health. It is formulated for adults seeking a precise, higher-potency iodine supplement under the guidance of a healthcare practitioner.
Why It's Worth Considering: The Optimox® Iodoral® formula uses a dry tablet matrix that addresses the gastric irritation often associated with liquid iodine preparations, offering a convenient, measured-dose alternative with a well-documented formulation history in practitioner settings.
Take one tablet per day or as directed by a physician.
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Most supplements are stable at room temperature (59-77°F). Keep the bottle sealed between uses. Check the label for any specific storage requirements, some probiotics and oils require refrigeration.
Most supplements can be taken together safely. However, some minerals compete for absorption (zinc and iron, calcium and magnesium) and should be taken at different times of day. If you're taking prescription medications, consult your healthcare provider about potential interactions.
Most supplements benefit from consistent daily use over 2-3 months to achieve full effect. Some (like vitamins and minerals) can be taken indefinitely as part of a daily routine. Others (like specific herbs) may benefit from cycling. Follow the product's recommended protocol or consult a practitioner.
Fat-soluble supplements (vitamins A, D, E, K, omega-3, CoQ10) should be taken with a meal containing fat. Water-soluble supplements (B vitamins, vitamin C) can be taken anytime. Minerals are generally best absorbed with food. Probiotics should be taken with or just before a meal. Check the product label for specific timing recommendations.
Track your specific health goals, energy levels, sleep quality, joint comfort, digestion, mood, etc. Most supplements take 2-8 weeks for noticeable effects. For objective measurement, baseline lab tests before starting (and repeat at 3 months) provide definitive evidence. The Gabriel Score incorporates clinical evidence for expected outcomes.
