What is Potassium Iodide?
Potassium Iodide is a form of iodine that is preferentially taken up by the thyroid gland. Potassium Iodide is often used to help regulate hypothyroid conditions, as Iodine is a key component in thyroid health.
Source Naturals Potassium Iodide may be used when it is desirable to maintain a high level of beneficial iodides in the thyroid gland and also to support the body’s normal detoxification process, including the removal of heavy metals.
Precautions
It is not recommended to supplement with iodine for hypothyroid conditions without first discussing it with your health care provider.
People with known iodine sensitivity should avoid potassium iodide, as should individuals with dermatitis herpetiformis and hypocomplementemic vasculitis, extremely rare conditions associated with an increased risk of iodine hypersensitivity. Individuals with multinodular goiter, Graves’ disease, and autoimmune diseases like Hashimoto’s thyroiditis should be treated with caution — especially if dosing extends beyond a few days.
Women who are pregnant, may become pregnant, or breastfeeding and people allergic to iodide should consult a physician before using this product. In case of overdose or allergic reaction discontinue use immediately and consult a physician.
