HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Iodine+ by Codeage

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
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

Codeage Iodine+ is a single-ingredient liquid supplement containing iodine. The product also includes distilled water, glycerin, and citric acid as inactive ingredients (the excipients that make up the liquid base).

Does it work?

Strong evidence
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Strong

Clinical evidence supports at least one of this product's ingredients for its stated purpose.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: supports healthy thyroid function.
  • We looked for evidence on: Iodine deficiency, Hyperthyroidism, Thyroid cancer, Thyroid storm, Hypothyroidism, Goiter — and 1 related terms.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Iodine is rated "Likely Effective" for Iodine deficiency (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Iodine is rated "Possibly Effective" for Thyroid storm.
  • Also on file: Iodine is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Thyroid cancer, Hyperthyroidism.

Iodine is likely effective for preventing thyroid problems from radiation exposure and for correcting iodine deficiency. It may also help with oral sores (oral mucositis) and gum disease (periodontitis), though the evidence for those uses is less firm.

The dose and form of this product matter for how well it works — talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether this particular supplement is right for your situation.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Iodine

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Iodine in normal dietary amounts is well tolerated. High doses, though, can cause thyroid problems — including both overactive and underactive thyroid — along with nausea, diarrhea, headache, metallic taste, and rarely skin reactions or allergic responses.

In pregnancy, you do need iodine, but only the amount your doctor recommends; avoid high-dose products. Some iodine passes into breast milk, so follow your doctor's guidance while breastfeeding.

If you've ever had a bad reaction to iodine-containing drugs or foods (beyond a shellfish allergy), let your healthcare provider know before taking this.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Iodine

Meds to double-check

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Iodine.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: lithium.
  • For scale: 7 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

Before taking Codeage Iodine+, check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take lithium, any antithyroid drug (like propylthiouracil or methimazole), or amiodarone for heart rhythm. All three have Moderate interactions with iodine and require thyroid-function monitoring if combined.

Check your own medication Run your meds through the checker above

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.

Codeage Iodine+ is useful if you're iodine-deficient or need it for radiation protection — but only at the dose your doctor advises. If you take lithium, antithyroid drugs, or amiodarone, check with your doctor or pharmacist first; thyroid monitoring may be needed.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding are no-go without medical OK, and high doses can cause thyroid damage, so this isn't a supplement to adjust on your own.

Each ingredient & the kinds of drugs it affects

For each ingredient in Iodine+ with known interactions, here are the types of medications it can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.

Iodine3 drug types · 7 drugs

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.

Likelihood Probable Evidence D
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.

Likelihood Probable Evidence D
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.

Yes. Based on its ingredients, Iodine+ has a known interaction with 7 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Iodine+ contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Does this work for iodine deficiency?
Yes — iodine is likely effective for correcting iodine deficiency. The dose matters, though, so make sure you're using the amount your doctor or pharmacist recommends for your situation.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant?
You do need iodine in pregnancy, but the data shows you should use only the amount your doctor advises and avoid high-dose products. Talk with your doctor about whether this supplement is the right choice for you at the dose it provides.
What are the most common side effects?
At normal doses, iodine is usually well tolerated. Higher amounts can cause nausea, diarrhea, headache, metallic taste, and thyroid problems. Rarely, people have allergic reactions like swelling or hives.
Can I use this while breastfeeding?
Some iodine is needed for your baby, but excess can pass into breast milk. Follow your doctor's guidance on how much to take while nursing.
What is this supplement used for besides iodine deficiency?
Iodine may help with oral sores and gum disease, though the evidence for those uses is less established. It's also likely effective for preventing thyroid damage from radiation exposure.
Is this safe for someone with a shellfish allergy?
Shellfish allergy is usually a reaction to seafood proteins, not iodine itself. However, some people can be sensitive to iodine when taken by mouth. If you've had a bad reaction to iodine-containing medications or supplements before, mention it to your doctor or pharmacist.
