Question: What is the amount of iodine in your Mangosteen Elixir and Acai Max juice products?
Please email me.
Thank you,
Lisa
Answer: Lisa,
I really couldn’t say, because if it is there, it’s in extremely tiny amounts. That same question would be analogous to asking: How much iodine is in a carrot, potato, bread or an apple…. Seafood and table salt are going be your richest sources of iodine, everything else will be negligible at best.
Can I ask the reason for the inquiry?
Sincerely,
Marcus Ettinger DC, BSc.
Response: Thank you so much for your help. You are the first person, of many I have contacted, to ask why I ask this question.
My husband, and other thyroid cancer suffers have to go on a low-iodine diet to prepare for scans and treatment with radioactivity attached to iodine molecules. This is a way of life for them. It involves cooking with whole foods, and fresh foods and eliminates all dairy, commericial breads, egg yolks, etc.
It would be a great help if manufacturers were as considerate as you. Thank you for your help.
