HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Iodine and Tyrosine by Pure Encapsulations
Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.
What’s inside
Full disclosure
This product contains two active ingredients: L-tyrosine and iodine. Tyrosine is an amino acid your body uses to make proteins and serves as a precursor to thyroid hormones.
Iodine is a mineral your thyroid needs to produce thyroid hormones and plays a role in metabolism and development. The capsules also contain cellulose and water as inactive ingredients.
Does it work?
Strong evidence
Tyrosine is effective for phenylketonuria (PKU), a rare inherited condition, and possibly effective for supporting cognitive function and memory. The evidence is insufficient to rate it for alcohol use disorder or dementia, and it's rated possibly ineffective for athletic performance.
Iodine is likely effective for protecting against radiation exposure and treating iodine deficiency. It's rated possibly effective for oral mucositis (mouth sores) and periodontitis (gum disease), though the evidence in our data doesn't establish it strongly for either.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Tyrosine is generally well tolerated in healthy adults, but there isn't enough safety data to use it regularly without talking to a healthcare provider first. The most common side effects at typical doses are fatigue, headache, heartburn, and nausea — larger doses increase the risk of headache and fatigue.
Iodine is well tolerated in amounts within normal dietary ranges, but high doses can cause thyroid problems, including an overactive or underactive thyroid, goiter, and in rare cases hypersensitivity reactions. Some people report a metallic taste, nausea, or diarrhea.
For pregnancy, iodine is rated likely safe but advised only in the amount your doctor recommends — avoid high-dose products. For breastfeeding, the facts note insufficient safety data for tyrosine, and iodine is rated possibly unsafe because excess iodine can pass into breast milk, so follow medical guidance.
Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using this product if you're pregnant or nursing.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Check with your doctor or pharmacist before taking this product if you use levodopa (Parkinson's medication), thyroid hormones, lithium (a mood stabilizer), antithyroid drugs, or amiodarone (heart medication). All carry Moderate interactions documented in our data.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with clinical evidence supporting its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
Iodine and Tyrosine may be useful if you have iodine deficiency, need support for cognitive function, or have certain thyroid-related conditions — but only under guidance. If you take levodopa, thyroid hormones, lithium, antithyroid drugs, or amiodarone, you need to clear this with your own doctor or pharmacist first.
Talk it over with your healthcare provider before starting, especially if you're pregnant, nursing, or have a thyroid condition.

Iodine and Tyrosine by Pure Encapsulations Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Iodine and Tyrosine by Pure Encapsulations has documented interactions through both of its active ingredients.
The most serious concern is a Moderate interaction between iodine and lithium — combining them may add to lithium's ability to suppress thyroid function, so thyroid monitoring is important if you take both.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Typosine interacts with levodopa (used for Parkinson's disease) and thyroid hormone medications, both Moderate severity. Tyrosine and levodopa compete for absorption in your small intestine, which could reduce how well the levodopa works — separating doses by at least 2 hours may help.
Tyrosine is a building block for thyroid hormones and could have an additive effect if you're also taking thyroid medication.
Iodine also interacts with antithyroid drugs (medications that suppress an overactive thyroid) and with amiodarone, a heart rhythm medication that is itself very high in iodine. High-dose iodine can trigger either an overactive or underactive thyroid depending on your history, and amiodarone's iodine content plus supplemental iodine could push levels too high — thyroid monitoring would be needed.
Altogether, these interactions span 28 individual medications.
If you take any of these drug types, run them through the medication checker on this page before starting the supplement.

For each ingredient in Iodine and Tyrosine with known interactions, here are the types of medications they can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.
L-Tyrosine
Levodopa
Theoretically, tyrosine might decrease the effectiveness of levodopa.
Tyrosine and levodopa compete for absorption in the proximal duodenum by the large neutral amino acid (LNAA) transport system. Advise patients to separate doses of tyrosine and levodopa by at least 2 hours.
Thyroid Hormone
Theoretically, tyrosine might have additive effects with thyroid hormone medications.
Tyrosine is a precursor to thyroxine and might increase levels of thyroid hormones.
Iodine
Amiodarone (Cordarone)
Combining iodine with amiodarone might cause excessively high iodine levels.
Amiodarone contains 37.3% iodine and can increase iodine levels. Concomitant use with iodine might increase the risk of having excessive iodine levels and adversely affecting thyroid function. Monitor thyroid function.
Antithyroid Drugs
Iodine might alter the effects of antithyroid drugs.
Iodine in high doses has been reported to cause both hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism, depending on the individual's past medical history. Taking iodine while using antithyroid drugs could alter the effects of the antithyroid drugs.
Lithium
Combining iodine with lithium might have additive hypothyroid effects.
Lithium can inhibit thyroid function. Several case reports suggest that concomitant use of lithium and potassium iodide can reduce thyroid function in otherwise healthy adults. Monitor thyroid function.
