I've warmed up to the idea that some supplements can be beneficial—even when the diet is perfectly dialed—as an extra defense to the environmental toxins outside of our control.

I'm not a doctor or researcher, but i have experimented on myself. For science right? 😁 A few drops of Lugol's iodine 5% solution in my drinks helped me a lot with being tired a lot and cold weather doesn't bother me like it did. I took NAC in mega doses during covid. It did something to my perc...

for iodine you really should get your pee tested using dosing challenges and use actual lugols... 225mcg is nothing... i have full strength lugol's and i can dose 5 drops (20mg/drop 15% KI3 so 3mg/drop or 15mg) but i already started on this years ago and i skipped the tests by piling on salt to allo...
