Dosing iodide (2 Viewers)

[HouseofStark]

Contimplating dosing iodide. Recently sent in an ICP and all looked good. Looking back on the test over the years, my iodine always comes in low 20-30ug/l. Due to it being absorbed so fast, sounds like is common to be lacking a bit. Does anyone in the group dose iodide and or have a good test to monitor its levels? Hanna Checkers look to be poor resolution, and seem to be mixed results on colormatic tests. Im not planning on monthly ICPs... Not sure if its even worth the time to chase/increase it? Thoughts

I dose iodide and have a saldiert test that is not great. I just add .01ppm whenever I think of it and it’s gotten me closer to .06 on ICP

I also dose Tropic Marin trace A+K which has iodine, so more likely that is helping me maintain levels.

I’m dosing it now daily, because my Icp results keep showing 0.005ppm (5um/l). I’ve been slowly trying to bring them up. My intention is to do a few more ICP’s to make sure that I’m in the range, then just maintain that dosing level and verify once in a while.

As you have found, I haven’t heard about a reliable home test kit for iodine
