Depends on the case and organisms I am trying to balances, as well as pre existing condition plays a huge part in the selelction
For average person <20-30 billion per day 8-16 strains should be fine.

[fanzdslpwr1]

wow my UDO'S brand has 6 strains. I guess I should find a different brand. which brand is good for candida?

50,000 mcgs = 50 mgs

Thanks, so kelp and iodine are the same thing in supplement form, and either is ok to use at that dose?

bump ?

[miniarnold]

I like UDO'S Choice

as in a efa source or a probiotic?

[miniarnold]

kelp and iodine are both the same thing in supplement form ?
and they are both safe at a maximum amount of 12.5mgs daily for long term use?

12.5 mgs kelp you are risking heavy metal toxicty amount other things.
Again long term studies are not published, but japanese people have been consuming it for centuries with no issues with lowest rate of cancers. I always suggest people when on 12.5 mgs for 3-4 months check their TSH and thyroid to be safe..

no, kelp is natural, and as the matrix has said may have issues with contamination. on the other hand straight iodine through something like iodoral

wouldn't have the same issue.

[miniarnold]

up to 1000mcg of either pure iodine or sea kelp daily or more, is ok ?

just looking for a maximum amount thats safe for daily use with pure iodine and amount for sea kelp?

Cheers.

Iodoral is sold as 12.5mg total (5 mg iodine / 7.5 mg iodide) and to all intents seems safe long term at that dose.

With kelp, the impurities + contaminations are what makes a difference to what is a safe dose, and so its really hard to pin a number down.

why guess? If you think your levels are off, get tested. Puffiness + water retention have other causes as well too, and plenty of people think they are leaner than they are so maybe it wasn't retained water.

I have bloodwork that shows my levels of estradiol are lower than mid range and yet a lack of diet discipline will produce the love handles that I normally retain when I relax my diet. No weight gain but I will retain more fluid in my love handles. So I have proof that for me it is not estrogen related which confirms I need greater water intake and less sodium and fewer carbs than I prefer to consume when less disciplined.

[EasyEJL]

I've never been without love handles so I wouldn't know

[David Dunn]

Oh they exist on me as well. Just to a much lesser degree at times. Endomorphism...

Thanks mate, cant get that iodoral product over here, so i may have to look at a substitute so 12.5mcg 5-7mg is safe in a pure iodine form long term ?

Yes fluid retention can be caused by many dietary factors and not just the hormonal factors such as to much estrogen and excess of cortisol

Fluid.retention is caused by inflammation which raises shbg

Can you eleborate furthur, inflammation of ?
Does low t and high shbg cause fluid retention?

i know that estogen and cortisol can cause fluid retention
