Question
Hi Eric Brandt,
Does Kelp contain iodide or iodine? Which supplement should I take: potassium iodide, or an iodine supplement? What would be a good dosage of the iodide or iodine supplement?
Sincerely,
Angel
Hi Angel,
Iodine in Kelp is potassium iodide. The daily recommended allowance for iodine is 150 mcg. It does not matter what supplement you take as long as you meet the daily requirement.
Thank you for using Allexperts
Sincerely,
Eric Brandt, B.Sc. Pharm
