}Gum Guggul (Commiphora mukul), Blue Flag root (Iris versicolor) and seaweeds such as Bladderwrack (Fucus vesiculosus) are naturally occurring compounds that may aid in the treatment of hypothyroidism. Because these work via different mechanisms, they may be combined to synergistically support the thyroidparticularly in situations of thyroid hypofunction and Hashimoto’s Disease. Fucus provides iodine and upregulates iodine-processing hormones; Commiphora enhances peripheral conversion of T4 to…

It is possible some Asian seaweed dishes may exceed the tolerable upper iodine intake level of 1100 microg/d, and it is found that iodine content was lowest in sun-bleached blades, and highest amount in freshly cut juvenile blades in Namibian kelps.

It is proposed that hyperthyrotropinemia related to excessive iodine ingestion by the mother during pregnancy in some cases may not be transient, and consumption of iodine by the postnatal child and susceptibility to the inhibitory effect of iodine may contribute in part to the persistent hyperthyroidism.
