I'm I getting enough iodine from fish oils?

by L. Coats
(South Carolina)

I recently read an article on Women to Women, concerning the thyroid gland, and it's function. I know that iodine is important but never put that much thought into it. I have a chronic problem with fluid retention so I strictly limit my salt intake. Herein lies the problem - now that I am getting older and hopefully a little wiser, I am seeing the need for iodine. I have several symptoms that would lead me to believe that my hormone levels are not as they should be.
I have an amazing Chiropractor and he has me taking a adrenal supplement which works wonders. I highly recommend that people inquire about the adrenal function as well. I am wondering how much, if any, iodine I am getting from taking 2000 mg. of Omega 3 Fish Oil daily?

Most fish oils don't contain iodine but you should check the ingredient label to make sure. I take Carlson Fish Oils and they don't indicate there's any iodine in their oil. If you wish to increase your iodine intake you could probably get your iodine levels checked by your doctor before beginning any type of supplementation regimen. Good luck and I wish you good health.

Thanks Kevin for your response. I looked at the label prior to posting my question, and there was no indication on iodine in the supplement I currently take. I will have to do more research to find out the RDA and get my doc to do lab work.
Thanks again so much for the info.

Best Regards,
