How Can Iodine Deficiency Be Treated?
My Dr told me that my iodine level was low and to take an over-the-counter supplement. I did not ask for my numbers, so I don t know how low. I don t know which kind to take or in what amount. I believe that he maximum is 1100 mpg per day. Any advice?

-The recommended daily intake of iodine for adult women is 150–300 µg as a supplement.
-After treatment do another analysis 3 months later.
