Iodized table salt (sodium chloride) is an ineffective dietary source of iodine, because the much greater amount of chloride in food-grade salt competes with the iodide for intestinal absorption.

The National Health and Nutrition Survey (NHANES Study), undertaken by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) from 1971 to 2000, showed that iodine levels in the general population have fallen over 50 percent in the last 30 years.

Patients may report increased energy, an enhanced sense of well-being, sought-after weight loss and improved bowel movements within the first three weeks of iodine supplementation.
Clinical iodism (acne, metallic taste in mouth, increased salivation, sneezing, frontal sinus pressure/pain), from alleged iodine overdosing, is infrequent, occurring in less than five percent of patients. The presence of known allergies to fish, shellfish, radioactive iodine or organic, iodinated compounds in x-ray contrast dyes, does not indicate that there is an allergy to inorganic, nonradioactive iodide/iodine. In fact, true allergy to inorganic, nonradioactive iodide/iodine is extremely rare, and if present, usually manifests as urticaria (hives), which is readily manageable.
Medical supervision is recommended for those desiring iodine supplementation.
