How much Iodine should you take?
SuppScore grades doses across evidence zones rather than against a single recommended figure. Scored information, not a recommendation.
- Zone 10 to 38 µg per dayLow dose
- Zone 238 to 113 µg per dayGeneral maintenance dose
- Zone 3113 to 188 µg per dayFor deficiency or elevated need
- Zone 5188 to 300 µg per dayPractitioner-grade dose
- Zone 5300 to 600 µg per dayPractitioner-grade dose
Zones describe what the evidence supports at a dose. They are not advice on what to take, and they do not replace a conversation with a doctor or pharmacist.
