General/Other
What does Iodine taste like? Organixx Iodine does not have much of a flavor, however, for some people it may be hot on the tongue so we suggest mixing with water, juice, or smoothie.
I don't have a thyroid gland, do I still need iodine? If the thyroid gland is removed, then iodine is not necessary to create thyroid hormones. However, this doesn't mean that the rest of your body does not need iodine. Iodine is necessary for both breast and prostate health, which (after the thyroid) are the second-largest storage sites in the body. Iodine is also used by the adrenal glands, parotid glands, mucosal lining of the intestines, the uterus, and ovaries.
Is Organixx Iodine safe for those who have an allergy to iodine? Most other iodine formulas contain chemicals and fillers. However, Organixx Iodine is nascent, meaning it doesn't contain anything other than the deep-earth sourced pure iodine. For this reason, many people have been able to use our iodine even with an iodine allergy. That said, as with any new supplement, it is always best to seek the advice of your healthcare provider before using this product, particularly if you have concerns about potential allergic reactions.
Is this safe to take while taking medication for thyroid? When taking other medications it is always best to check with your trusted healthcare professional first. If you decide to try Organixx Iodine, we suggest taking it 4 hours apart from other medications to avoid any contradictions.
Is Organixx Iodine safe to take if you have Hashimotos? A thyroid goiter? A thyroid nodule? We suggest working with your primary care physician to help you determine whether this would be appropriate for your personal needs, and if so, what serving recommendation would be best suited for you.
What does Iodine look like? Organixx Iodine is a dark thick liquid.
What is the plant vegetable source of the glycerine used in your iodine formula? Also from which country is (are) these plants sourced? The source of the Vegetable Glycerin is organic mustard seed, which is sourced from India.
What are some possible side effects? Initially, you may feel worse when taking iodine, as the accumulation of toxic material must be processed and removed from the body. This is typically referred to as a "healing crisis", which a temporary worsening of symptoms that occur when the body is going through the process of healing itself through the elimination of toxins.

This process can include physical effects as the toxins in your body are metabolized. The most common side effects include fatigue, headache, minor rash, lack of mental clarity, joint or muscle ache, irritability, difficulty sleeping, sleeping too much, or mood swings.
How long before I should see results? While many will feel positive results with the initial serving, everyone is different and has the potential to react differently to our products. We suggest taking Organixx Iodine consistently for 30 to 60 days, in order to allow the body to become accustomed to the new supplement.
Is there a risk of overdosing on iodine if I am not iodine deficient? Is there a general risk of overdosing? Acute iodine toxicity is rare, and usually only occurs when many grams of iodine have been ingested. The suggested dosage of 3 drops daily for Organixx Iodine is considered safe, and anything beyond the recommended dosage should first be discussed with your trusted healthcare professional.
How exactly is salt transported 7,000 feet to the surface? How is it you found a salt deposit that far underground? How do you know it is 300 million years old? The iodine is sourced from a specific geologic formation in a salt mine, and the evidence indicates that it is a very old formation. This source was chosen by our manufacturing team after extensive research.
I listened to the interview with Dr. Group on iodine. He said that in order to increase the secretion of many toxins from your body, you needed to take 20,000 mcg of iodine a day. So I am wondering; on your product label you say to take 1950mcg per day with 3 drops. So why not recommend 30 drops to get the 20,000 mcg a day? The highest dosage we are able to recommend is 3 drops per day, which is 1,950 mcg. Additional dosage would be at your own discretion, and should you decide to attempt this yourself we strongly recommend checking with your trusted healthcare professional first.
Is there a lab report showing how Organixx came to the conclusion that each drop is loaded with 650 micrograms of iodine. No testing is performed to determine the exact amount of iodine per drop. The estimated amount per serving is determined as part of the total iodine in the final formulation, which is then broken down to an amount per serving guideline.
Also, would like to know about a statement made in the video that 20,000 mcg of iodine per day has a detoxifying effect for heavy metals and other things mentioned in the video. How do we verify these statements? What documentation does Organixx have to prove this? How did Organixx come to this number? Would less still have a detoxifying effect? We generally suggest working with a healthcare practitioner to help determine the initial load that one may be dealing with before taking any new supplement. In this case, one could be tested for heavy metal exposure. While some on our team personally take as much as 20,000 mcg of iodine daily, this is considered a therapeutic serving. We normally suggest 3 drops as a safe dose to consider for daily needs. Under the guidance of your healthcare practitioner, determine the appropriate dosage for your personal needs.
How does this Organixx Iodine differ from other nascent iodines? Organixx Iodine is not an iodide or iodate. Iodides are iodine which has been bound to another mineral, such as potassium. As such, iodides are more difficult for the body to use.

Organixx Iodine is a special non-toxic transformed mono-element nascent iodine product. In other words, the only mineral Organixx Iodine contains is iodine! This results in easier uptake and utilization.
I have heard co-factors are needed when taking iodine. Which co-factors are needed? Our unique form of iodine does not need co-factors due to its nascent atomic form, however, there are several vitamins and minerals that can aid absorption and potentially improve the overall benefits of iodine.

Selenium and magnesium can improve the absorption of iodine in individuals who are known to be deficient or have known malabsorption issues. Other vitamins and minerals that can assist in the overall function of iodine after it has been absorbed are B-vitamins, vitamin C, and manganese. The necessity of taking additional vitamins and minerals with iodine should be discussed and recommended by a trusted healthcare professional.
