CS or anyone else who might know, regarding Ecklonia Cava..

Since ECE is derived from a brown algae, does it contain any amount of iodine per capsule? And, if so, if you are taking the recommended three ECE capsules per day does one even need to supplement Iodine from Lugol's drops or Iodural (sp?) pills?

Thanks in advance.

Jocko59 - Ecklonia Cava contains no iodine, at least in supplement form as the iodine is removed.

The recommended dose for us is just twice per day rather than 3 times.

How much iodine you need will depend on various factors. There's still considerable debate on what iodine is best or how much is needed. Since the body needs about 1500 milligrams of iodine and the thyroid only uses 50 mg. Once it has what it needs, then the rest of the body can utilize the iodine for its purposes. I'm partial to Lugol's, but others like Iosol or food based iodine.
