I've also taken iodine for years, but after staining various parts of my kitchen with iodine drops, I switched to tablets (from Standard Process).  These may not be as effective, but at least they aren't causing unremoveable stains in my kitchen!

But I only take 3mg per day, not the up-to-50mg that some people take.

For US people I found testing that can be ordered online

For $70.
3mg vs 50mg, that's a big difference.. I also do not know at all what would be good. If you get this test Marc, it would be very interesting to know your result after taking 3mg for years.

Does not recommend Standard process, or Iosol which is the one I have. I have no idea how he came to those conclusions though.. but I do feel a difference between vegetable iodine and Iosol iodine, so I guess I just have to buy some Lugol iodine.
