I LOVE THIS PRODUCT
"I have had hypothyroidism for 13 years and I had not got any medication to help. I love this product, it has changed my life, it has cleared my mind, I remember everything, I analyze better, I am no longer sleepy, fatigue, muscle pain, depression, menstrual delay, incontinence, insomnia"
- Mariangela
"MY NODULE HAS SHRUNK IN SIZE BY 1/3!"
"I've had an enlarged thyroid and a nodule with calcification for at least the last 4 years of my life. Maybe longer but that's how long I've known about it. It has monitored yearly since discovery. It has been stable an unchanged at every check. UNTIL TODAY. Big news! My thyroid is NO LONGER ENLARGED!!!"
- Erika
a game changer
"I was skeptical to buy yet another supplement for my thyroid. I had a left lobectomy in 2012 for a Hurtelle cell tumor. I have hypothyroidism and I will say I haven't felt this good in YEARS! I cannot praise this product or Miss Lizzy enough. I can't wait to see the improvements going forward."
- Teresa
Miss Lizzy created this whole-body iodine supplement in a formula and potency like you've never experienced before. We've paired rare earth-sourced molecular iodine and nutrient-rich potassium iodide in an ideal ratio to support thyroid function for energy†, metabolism†, immune function†, and more.
Iodide concentrates in the thyroid and is functionally involved in trillions of processes throughout the body including basal metabolism, ovulation, and immune function†. Considered an essential mineral for human health, iodide travels to the NIS-rich tissues in the thyroid gland, cervix, ovaries, placenta, eyes, skin, and lactating breasts.(7)
The earth-sourced mineral Molecular Iodine reaches tissues in the breasts, prostate, tumor sites, and cystic areas that can't be reached as easily by potassium iodide. Molecular iodine acts at a mitochondrial level, as an antioxidant, and studies show it may attenuate benign and cancerous growths (8).
Suggested Use: As a dietary supplement, take two (2) small dropsdaily in 8 oz of liquid (coffee, tea, or water), or as directed by a healthcare professional.

Miss Lizzy Answers Your Questions
Founder, patient, advocate, wife, and mom, I'm here to help!
When we say you'd have a hard time finding a higher-quality iodine supplement, we mean it. We don't cut corners because your health is too important.
Quality Standards
Think of it this way. The term "iodine" is much like the term "coffee." It might sound like coffee is all the same, but it's not true. What differentiates Starbucks from your local coffee shop, Dunkin Donuts, or Folgers? The source, sustainability, manufacturing, roasting, and farming practices. The same is true for iodine.
Iodine grades range from something you might use in a chemistry lab or an aquarium to prescription-grade iodine for human use.
Mining Standards
Our Geologist explains it this way. When it comes to iodine mining and sustainability, there are different methods, grades, and quality standards. Outside of China, one of the largest producers of iodine is the Caliche mines in South America. Caliche iodine is often referred to as "Dirty Iodine" because the iodine does not meet USP Grade. Regarding sustainability, the Caliche mining method uses explosives to blast large areas of the Earth's crust and "scrape" the blasted material.
Manufacturing Standards
Just like in food production, there are licensing and quality standards. That's how you know it's safe to eat at your local restaurant. The FDA helps assure the identity, strength, quality, and purity through cGMP manufacturing dietary supplements.
CGMP
CGMP stands for Current Good Manufacturing Practice, which assures you of control manufacturing operations, including quality management systems, obtaining appropriate quality raw materials, establishing robust operating procedures, detecting and investigating product quality deviations, and maintaining reliable testing laboratories,
That's why ingredients, sustainability, sourcing, manufacturing, state & local compliance, and certified quality set us apart. We can proudly and confidently say that Thiodine liquid is:
Iodine is a vital nutrient utilized by every cell in the body. Thiodine has no wheat, dairy, corn, soy, sugar, sucrose, eggs, nuts, animal products, pesticides, harmful chemicals, artificial colors, preservatives, sweeteners, or sugar. It's also non-GMO. Thiodine is suitable for any diet, including Paleo, keto, and vegan-friendly. It's even iodine-allergy friendly. While it's not commonly known, iodine is not an allergan.
Iodine is an element that humans need for proper development and growth. Iodine is used by the thyroid gland to make essential hormones that support body functions. An iodine deficiency can result in serious health issues. Have you had a severe reaction after taking iodine? Are you wondering if you are allergic to iodine and whether or not you should take it?
First, it's important to understand that iodine isn’t an allergen. Iodine is found naturally in the body, so it doesn't trigger an allergic reaction. Iodine is a mineral that all humans need. If anything, iodine helps prevent allergic reactions. Read the blog article 3 Myths About Iodine Allergies (Some Doctors Don't Know).
Thiodine may boost energy so some people prefer to use it in the morning. Thiodine should always be diluted. Avoid mixing Thiodine with citrus or Vitamin C since the ascorbic acid may interfere with the iodine. The suggested serving size is 2 small drops in 8 ounces of water, coffee, or tea. Some people require more, others need less.
NOTES
The suggested amount of two small drops is just a suggestion. Some people require less, others require more. The amount of iodine varies by individual.
According to customers, the "sweet spot" may be as much as 8-9 drops a day.†
CAUTION
❌ Don't put Thiodine directly in your mouth.
❌ Thiodine should always be diluted.
Thiodine contains potassium iodide, molecular iodine, and distilled water. The suggested serving is 2 small drops. Each serving contains approximately 10 MG of potassium iodide, of which 7.5 MG is the iodide component and 5 MG of molecular iodine, for approximately 12.5 MG of iodine per serving.
Each 1 oz bottle contains approximately 300 servings and lasts anywhere from 4-10 months or longer, depending on use. To dispense, hold the dropper straight down, not at an angle. Just so you know, a drop means a single drop, not a full dropper.
Thiodine comes from earth-mined iodine crystals in the USA. Our exclusive source of iodine is the highest quality, potency, and purity in a USP-grade supplement.
According to clinical experience, if there is a severe deficiency, 25-50mg may be needed to maximize the absorption and retention of iodine.† (1)
CAUTION: Never put Thiodine directly in the mouth or on the skin undiluted. Thiodine is meant to be diluted, as explained in the suggested use.

Yes, we order COAs for all of our supplements, and each production is batch tested.
The majority of our customers use our supplements along with their medications. It's helpful to understand how thyroid hormone production works.
The primary role of the thyroid gland is to help make thyroid hormones. These thyroid hormones are called T4 and T3, and they play a vital role in your energy, metabolism, immune function, reproductive health, and more.
When the thyroid gland isn't producing enough of these thyroid hormones, Hypothyroidism may develop. Here are some common symptoms of Hypothyroidism:
The body requires adequate levels of iodine and selenium to make and convert thyroid hormones. Iodine helps the thyroid make thyroid hormones (mostly T4 and a little T3). The thyroid and liver require selenium to help convert T4 into T3 for energy and defend against free-radicals and oxidative stress.
Just like you need fuel and a key to drive your car. Iodine is like the fuel, and selenium is like the key. If your gas tank is empty, the car won't run. If you don't have a key, you can't drive. If you put the wrong fuel in the car, your engine will be in trouble.
Our supplements are formulated to support these processes:
People who have low thyroid function may use medication, supplements, or a combination of both, depending on individual needs. When using our supplements, some of our customers stayed at their current medication dose; others needed to lower or adjust their medication. We are not recommending changing or going off medications without consulting your doctor. We always suggest working with a trained medical professional.
Most people know that the thyroid gland needs iodine, and while that's true, many don't know that every cell in the body needs iodine. That's trillions of cells. So if you're not getting iodine because you don't have a thyroid, it's essential to understand all the many processes that rely on this vital nutrient.
However, many people don't realize there are two types of iodine -- molecular iodine and potassium iodide -- each reaches different tissues in the body.
Potassium iodide travels through the NIS pathways to support the thyroid, hair, skin, and nails.
If you don't have a thyroid, it's true, supplements with potassium iodide will not be of much help. They may still have a benefit for the hair and skin.
However, molecular iodine travels to tissues in the breasts, ovaries, brain, pineal gland, pancreas, eyes, and other tissues that Potassium Iodide cannot reach.
That's why understanding the type of iodine is essential and supporting all the cells in the body, not just the thyroid.
For people who don't have a thyroid, the conversion of thyroid hormone T4 into the active T3 -- which happens primarily in the liver -- is another critical factor. Like having a gas tank fuel of full, you need a key to start the car.
Whether your body naturally makes thyroid hormones or gets them from medication, the body needs certain nutrients, specifically, adequate selenium, to help convert those hormones.
People respond differently to supplements. Here are examples from our customers:
Our customer, Kathy, a woman in her late 30s, recently told us she took two drops a day and felt great, but when she took three drops, she felt overstimulated similar to having too much caffeine.
Beth, a mom of three young kids, said she took six drops a day and felt her energy and mood had improved, her metabolism seemed to be improving, and she also felt her PMS and breast pain symptoms were improving.
Nancy, a woman in her 70s who had a range of health issues, said 12.5 MG of Thiodine was too strong for her and made her feel jittery. So she was splitting the tablets in half and taking them every other day.
Our customer Fred said he started with Miss Lizzy in 2014 and within two months noticed an increase in energy. Fred shared, "Not only has my energy picked up but my mental awareness has become better. I am playing better golf, playing my trumpet better, deep into studying music theory and learning to play the piano. See what Miss Lizzy's Iodine can do for an eighty-year-old man."
Cheryl B said: "I have Hashimoto's and have been on [iodine] for almost 7 years. One of the things I noticed is that my knees didn't bother me anymore. These days I take a fairly large maintenance dose--75mg/day (plus all the supplements). Every time I have tried to decrease it, I get achy knees again."
As you can see, these customer stories represent a range of experiences. We always recommend working with a medical practitioner to help find the right dose for you. When increasing iodine supplementation, some people may experience symptoms of halogen detox. Our HaloDetox powder is formulated to help.
According to the American Thyroid Association, iodine deficiency in the diet leads to goiter, thyroid nodules, and hypothyroidism† (11). Iodine Deficiency Disorder affects up to 2 billion people worldwide. (11)
The research suggests iodine supplementation in the diet may help reduce goiter and nodules (11), so that could be great news for some.
However, there are some instances where iodine may not be appropriate, such as a thyroid condition called an "Autonomous Thyroid Nodule" or a "Hot Nodule."
According to the research, an autonomous thyroid nodule is a localized nodular lesion of the thyroid, detected through a proper medical examination. An autonomous thyroid nodule is rare in the USA and appears linked to childhood iodine deficiency.
The growth, iodine uptake, and function of an autonomous thyroid nodule are independent of TSH control. Meaning, it's kind of a rogue nodule that does what it wants and doesn't know when to stop. (14)
Unlike a "regular thyroid nodule" that uses iodine to make amounts of thyroid hormones and self-regulates, an autonomous thyroid nodule can't effectively regulate iodine intake, which may result in a flood of thyroid hormones.
Luckily, as mentioned, an autonomous thyroid nodule is rare in the USA. But all the more reason to talk with your doctor and make sure you don't have an autonomous thyroid nodule before starting iodine.
Let's address the elephant in the room. What you've read about iodine and Hashimoto's is probably inaccurate.
Unfortunately, there is a lot of misinformation about Iodine and Hashimoto's which leads people to avoid this vital nutrient. The issue with Hashimoto's is not the Iodine specifically, it's the oxidative stress which occurs when your body makes thyroid hormones.
Whether you have Hashimoto's or not, iodine is vital to human health. In addition to the thyroid gland, every cell in the body requires iodine. Did you know the pancreas, ovaries, uterus, breast tissue, prostate, brain, pineal gland, stomach, salivary glands and tear ducts (lacrimal glands) all need iodine? Iodine provides fuel for trillions of cells.
Many people with Hashimoto's have been scared away from iodine unnecessarily. According to the research and patient experiences, Iodine may safe and effective for people with Hashimoto's when used in the right way.†
When starting a high potency iodine supplement like Thiodine, some people may experience tightness or a swelling sensation in the thyroid area of the throat. It may be a short-term reaction, we call "stockpiling."
If the thyroid has been deficient in iodine (in some cases for a long time), and you start a high potency supplement like Thiodine, the thyroid may "overindulge" on iodine.
While stockpiling is not a clinical term, it gives you an idea of what might when the thyroid gets excited about the new iodine and tries to save it for future use.
Similar to if you were very hungry and went to a buffet, you might have a hard time resisting all the food. As a result you might over-eat and feel stuffed. The thyroid gland can overindulge, too. Similar to digestion, the stockpile of iodine may naturally work itself out.
The thyroid requires iodine to make thyroid hormones. Under normal conditions, the thyroid gland can have as much as 15 MG of iodine, and that's not counting the rest of this body -- ovaries have the next highest concentration. So iodine is essential for the entire body. But the thyroid is first in line at the buffet.
If the thyroid is Stockpiling, once it realizes it doesn't need to eat a week's worth of iodine in one sitting, it will release the iodine to the rest of the body.
So a swelling sensation or tightness in the thyroid area of the throat that occurs after starting iodine supplementation might be Stockpiling. But it could be something else, so if the sensation persists or you are concerned at all, please always consult a medical practitioner (ideally one who specializes in iodine).
Iodine Patch Test
With the Iodine Patch Test, doctors simply paint a patch of iodine on your skin and check the results 24 hours later. The patch will fade after 24 hours if you are not iodine deficient. If the patch fades quicker than 24 hours, then you are likely deficient. This test is relatively quick, inexpensive, and fun. However, it isn't particularly accurate because iodine will naturally evaporate when exposed to air. The evaporation rate will vary depending on humidity, temperature, and sunlight. As a result, the Iodine Patch Test may not provide precise measurement of whole-body iodine saturation.
24-Hour Urine Iodine Loading Test
The 24-hour Iodine Loading Test is a method that measures how much iodine the body excretes in the urine during a 24 hour period. However, there are potential flaws with the Iodine 24-Hour Loading Test. The loading test requires taking a very high dose of iodine which might be too much for a starting amount. According to patient experiences, if a person has been deficient in iodine, the Iodine Loading Test might provide inaccurate results.
Dry Urine Test
ZRT Lab offers the Iodine Dry Urine test which can be ordered from their website. The Iodine Dry Urine test may provide the most accurate measure of iodine levels.
Iodism or chronic iodine poisoning is rarely seen. Iodism may occur with long-term therapy, intentional overdose, rapid use of high doses of potassium iodide, or accidental consumption of a tincture of iodine. Tinctures of Iodine is an alcohol-based product that's poisonous and meant for topical use only (as noted on the bottle).
Whereas, Thiodine is an aqueous (water) based, non-poisonous solution of iodine and iodine that can be used internally.†
According to clinical research, physiologic doses of iodine/iodide ranging from 6.25-50mg/day has positive results with minimal side effects. Mild but rare Iodism symptoms may include a metallic taste in the mouth, increased salivation, and sinus pain or pressure, which may be resolved by lowering the iodine dose and waiting 1-3 weeks. (1). In the event of an iodine overdose, seek medical attention.
People who have a rare condition called a toxic thyroid nodule, and for anyone starting an iodine supplement, should always consult a medical professional.

I had just started the program and then got real sick for two weeks. Still trying to get back into the groove.
I have eye problems from an injury after I was born. My thyroid disfunction makes it cross and bulge a lot. I have found that these supplements help greatly. I also had more clear thinking. In addition to that, Miss Lizzy supplements help take down inflammation in my body, which I thought was fat. I am so grateful to God that I found the answer to my prayers....and a new found confidence.
USING THE WHOLE PROGRAM HAS CAUSED MY THYROID NUMBERS TO DRAMATICALLY CHANGE FOR THE BETTER
Taking this supplement has shifted my life. Just knowing that I’m now on track for feeling better gives me joy
So far I have been on the program for about 1 month & have noticed an increase in energy, still not 100%. I have noticed a regular BM’s and my mood has been better.
