HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Iodine from Sea Kelp 150 mcg by Wonder Laboratories
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 one active ingredient: iodine at 150 micrograms per tablet. Iodine is an essential mineral your body uses to make thyroid hormones, which control your metabolism and energy.
The tablet also contains inactive ingredients — calcium phosphate, vegetable cellulose, vegetable stearic acid, silica, and vegetable magnesium stearate — which serve as binders and fillers.
Does it work?
Strong evidence
Iodine is likely effective for preventing or treating iodine deficiency and for protecting the thyroid after radiation exposure. It's possibly effective for oral sores (oral mucositis) and gum disease (periodontitis), though the evidence is less established.
This dosage — 150 micrograms — falls within typical supplement and dietary replacement ranges.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Iodine at normal dietary doses is well tolerated. The main caution is that high doses can cause thyroid problems, including an underactive thyroid or goiter (thyroid enlargement).
Common side effects from excessive iodine include nausea, abdominal upset, diarrhea, metallic taste, headache, and a runny nose. Rarely, people can have a hypersensitivity reaction with rash, swelling, or fever.
Taking iodine chronically in very large amounts has been reported to cause acneform skin lesions. In pregnancy, adequate iodine is important — but use only the dose your doctor recommends and avoid high-dose products.
Some iodine passes into breast milk, so follow your doctor's guidance while nursing. If you're pregnant or breastfeeding, talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether this product is right for you.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Check with your doctor or pharmacist before using this if you take lithium (for mood), antithyroid drugs, or amiodarone (for heart rhythm). All three can have their effects or your thyroid function altered by this supplement and warrant monitoring.
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.
This supplement works well for iodine deficiency and is safe at the dose provided when taken as directed. If you're on lithium, antithyroid medication, or amiodarone, you need to check with your doctor or pharmacist before adding it — those combinations require monitoring.
Anyone with a history of thyroid problems should also discuss it with their healthcare provider first.

Iodine from Sea Kelp 150 mcg by Wonder Laboratories Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Iodine from Sea Kelp 150 mcg by Wonder Laboratories interacts with lithium, antithyroid drugs, and amiodarone through its iodine content.
The most serious concern is with lithium: combining them may add up to damage thyroid function, and you'll need thyroid monitoring if you take both.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Antithyroid drugs (used to treat overactive thyroid) can have their effects altered by iodine, since high-dose iodine can swing thyroid function either direction depending on your history. Amiodarone, a heart rhythm medication, already contains significant iodine — adding this supplement could push your iodine levels too high and harm your thyroid.
Altogether, these interactions span 7 individual medications. If you take any of these drugs, check your exact prescriptions with the tool on this page before you start this supplement.

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.
