Re: Unusual side effect of iodine supplementation

I am peri-menopausal and have been suffering with Vaginal Atrophy for the last couple of years. It's meant uncomfortable sex and my perineum is sore after sex.

Although I have tried Ovestin and also Hyalofemme, neither have made any significant difference. I also have been using Yes lubricant to help in the bedroom. To be honest, I don't like HAVING to use any of these products as they just make me feel old, pathetic and dried up!

I have been taking an Iodine supplement for two weeks and WOW I now have moisture back where it should be. It's nothing short of a miracle, considering I thought I would be suffering from this for the remainder of my life and that prospect is quite depressing.

I am taking Iodoral. The first week I took one 12.5mg tablet per day with 200mcg of selenium. This week I have increased to two x 12.5mg tablets per day with 400mcg of selenium. I will continue with this for a month and see how that goes.

The Iodine is also regulating my digestive system. Where I used to go every two days, I now go every morning.

So good so far and I'm sure I will see other benefits over the coming weeks and months.
