For Westerners unaccustomed to including seaweed in the diet, a small daily supplement of kelp, in tablet or powdered form is a good idea, but don’t overdo -excess iodine may also cause thyroid problems.” Sally Fallon and Mary G Enig PhD ; Nourishing Traditions Cook book

GOVERNMENT GUIDELINES ON SAFE IODINE IN TAKE The World Health Organisation considers 1100 mcg iodine per day to be the safe upper limit. The US Institute of Medicine has set 1100 mcg iodine per day as a safe upper limit. The UK Department of Health recommends that a daily intake of 1000 mcg iodine should not be exceeded. However, there is a lot of controversy over these fairly arbitrary figures, and an amount of iodine by a person’s weight has also been proposed. The allowance for a person who weighs 80 kg would be 2400 micrograms per day (mcg/day) – nearly 4 grams of Ascophyllum.
