At 500µg, this is a higher-strength supplement intended for those with greater requirements or identified deficiency. The EU tolerable upper intake level for iodine is 600µg per day for adults. Do not exceed the recommended dose and do not combine with other iodine-containing supplements.

For those who want a controlled, measurable dose, Potassium Iodide is the more reliable choice.
