I’ve never seen that they do. I don’t know if companies test their products for iodine contamination or if they know that there’s no significant amount of iodine because of how it’s produced.

Thank you for your time in reading this!

Is it still necessary to supplement iodine if one takes a levothyroxine supplement and thyroid levels are OK?
