Quick answer
What ingredients supply iodine in supplements?
Iodine supplements can use potassium iodide, sodium iodide, or kelp as an iodine source. Compare the iodine amount in micrograms, not the weight of kelp or the whole compound. Excess iodine can affect thyroid function; more is not automatically better.
