  • NSF Sport certification appeals to competitive athletes
  • Organic form is slowly released and storable in the body
  • Gluten-, soy-, and dairy-free
  • US manufacturer with decades of reputation

What We’re Missing

  • No combination with vitamin E or C for synergistic effects

Usage Recommendation

1 capsule daily with a meal. If on thyroid medication, separate timing and consult a doctor.
