NOW Foods Potassium plus Iodine 180 Tablets

NOW® Potassium plus Iodine pairs two nutrients in one tablet. It supplies 225 mcg of iodine (from potassium iodide), a nutrient necessary for normal thyroid function — iodide is an integral part of the thyroid hormones that regulate cellular metabolism and energy production.* It also provides 99 mg of potassium, an essential mineral for healthy water and electrolyte balance and whole-body pH.* Together they make a convenient daily formula for people who want both thyroid nutrition and electrolyte support.*

Who it's for

Potassium plus Iodine suits adults who want to support normal thyroid function with dietary iodine while also topping up potassium for electrolyte balance.* It appeals to people whose diets are low in iodine-rich or potassium-rich foods and who prefer a single vegan, Non-GMO tablet.* Because it affects both thyroid nutrition and potassium levels, it is best used by those who can do so with their doctor's awareness.*

Frequently asked questions

Why combine potassium with iodine?
Iodine (as potassium iodide) supplies the thyroid nutrient needed for normal thyroid hormone production, while potassium supports electrolyte and pH balance.* Combining them offers thyroid nutrition and electrolyte support in one convenient daily tablet.*

How much iodine does it provide?
Each tablet supplies 225 mcg of iodine, which is 150% of the daily value — a nutritional amount to support normal thyroid function, not a high-dose product.* If you already use iodized salt or a multivitamin with iodine, factor that in and check with your doctor.*

How do I take it?
Take one tablet daily with a meal, or as directed by your healthcare provider. If you have a thyroid condition or take thyroid or blood-pressure medication, talk to your physician before use.*
