Kelp Supplement

MariannaLaFrance

Anyone taking a Kelp supplement for iodine? I have not asked my docs about this, but have plantar fascitis, and was hoping that I could take some iodine supplementation (conservatively dosed) to see if that helps the plantar fascitis and my fibrocystic changes. I have looked at the Lugol's Iodine supplement, but wanted to buy something at Whole Foods today when I am shopping. Thought perhaps that Kelp Supplements would be good.

Marianna ~ I'd started adding iodine with a kelp supplement from Whole Foods, but stopped using it and switched to Iodoral when I learned here that many kelp supplements are highly contaminated.  I don't know for sure, but it's definitely something to look into and ask questions about before buying one. 

If you ask at Whole Foods about the contamination issue, I'd be curious to know what they tell you.  I still like the idea of a natural source and would be interested if there is something that's certified organic and pure.   Deanna
