When it comes to supplements, 200 micrograms of selenium per day is often recommended for a period of 2-3 months. For iodine, the dosage is typically 300-400 micrograms daily. It’s important to note that while iodine deficiency is rare, supplementing for a short period won’t hurt. Always be cautious with iodine supplements and ensure you are not using topical antiseptics by mistake.
