Just a little background - My brother has hyperthyroidism and so does my dad to a destined degree, both are skinny. I used to be skinny at 6'4 and only 150lbs. Then for the terminal 2 eld I've proven to consume over 6,000 calories a period to acquire coefficient along with lifting weights. I've gained 50lbs, most of it muscle, but I couldn't seen to acquire anymore weight. I couldn't eat anymore then that because it was getting too pricey to buy 42,000 calories of flourishing matter a week. So I did some research on halogen and how your body needs a destined turn of it for your endocrine to function. I decided to verify immoderateness halogen (37.5mg per day) and I've noticed that I've gained weight, even though I've been intake less. I see great and hit been getting stronger and stronger every week, what are the negative lateral personalty of immoderateness iodine? I don't see any and its been about 3 months attractive WAY more then the recommended amount. yes I hit really been attractive 37.5mg of (inorganic) halogen supplements daily for the terminal 3 months. On back: Serving size: 1 paper (I verify 15) 15 tablets: 15mg Iodine, 22.5mg Iodide (as potassium salt) before I ever took halogen supplements i had a rattling slightly swollen goiter. now its gone down. my pee smells different also, maybe I'm meet pissing discover the excess? ok i dont hit any of the lateral personalty you listed but now im scared. i think ill stick to 2 tablets daily until i attending any lateral effects.

http://lpi.oregonstate.edu/infocenter/minerals/iodine/ I couldn't adhesive the link....but take a look at the graph above, its at the bottom of the page. Thats the Linus Pauling Institute - famous for pushing broad doses of things - saying that 1,100 MCG's of halogen is toxic.....you are taking nearly 40 times that. If you take a look above that graph a few lines, you'll state that 18 grams has been known to induce goiter.....you are taking twice that.... Edit: Peeing it out? No, thats how it builds up to toxicity... Here is another piece from Merck Iodine Toxicity Chronic morbidness haw develop when intake is > 1.1 mg/day. Most people who have immoderateness amounts of halogen rest euthyroid. Some people who have immoderateness amounts of iodine, particularly those who were previously deficient, develop hyperthyroidism (Jod-Basedow phenomenon). Paradoxically, immoderateness uptake of halogen by the thyroid haw inhibit thyroid hormone synthesis (called Wolff-Chaikoff effect). Thus, halogen morbidness crapper eventually drive iodide goiter, hypothyroidism, or myxedema. Very large amounts of iodide haw drive a flash taste in the mouth, increased salivation, GI irritation, and acneiform skin lesions. Do what ever you like....
