I clicked into a link on facebook for something called iodine plus2 for thyroid... it looked interesting, I was wondering what the 2 were... But, according to this writing, you need both iodine and iodide in order to help your thyroid....whats the difference between the two, and is this correct? The other two supplements are selenium and vitaminB2....what do you think.... I know, I have the iodine, dont plan on buying the supplement, but would like to have input on the iodine/iodide issue and is selenium and vitB2 needed in this mix???

Here is what 'Breast Cancer Choices' indicate as companion nutrients. I was only aware of vitamin C and selenium.

https://breastcancerchoices.org/iprotocol.html

• 50 mg Iodoral minimum for breast cancer (may start with 12.5 mg).
  

• Some practitioners may recommend another form of iodine such as Lugol's solution.
  Iodoral is the Lugol's formula in tablet form especially designed to avoid gastric irritation.
  

• 
  

• Vitamin C - 3,000 mg per day (more may be necessary to detox bromide).
  

• 
  

• 300-600 mg magnesium oxide (Iodine Investigation Project participants prefer
  magnesium glycinate or magnesium citrate.)
  

• 
  

• 200 mcg selenium. The selenomethionine version is preferred by many.
  

• 
  

• 500 mg niacin (B3) twice a day (NOT niacinamide). Start lower to avoid flush. *See update
  in left margin on the ATP Cofactors as an alternative.
  

• 
  

• 100 mg Vitamin B2 three times a day. *See update in left margin on the ATP Cofactor as
  an alternative.
  

• 
  

• A comprehensive vitamin and nutrition program.
  

• 
  

• (Feb 2008) Dr. Guy Abraham cautions that "excess calcium supplementation (2,000-
  3,000 md/day) has been the most common cause of poor response to iodine
  supplementation." Vitamin Research News Vol. 22. Number 2.

sorry I forgot to put the link..... https://1-thyroid.com/order.htm

Thanks Jim for the info... interesting that the supplement in this link specifies that it has no niacin... (I think thats what it said)

It sounds exactly like Iodoral without the vitamin/mineral. Iodoral was used by the large clinical trials for Fibrocystic Breast Disease. Google for vendors.

I don't like to take products with added selenium, because I get it in my multivitamin. Too much selenium is not good. You also get it in your diet. So, beware.
