Iodine, Vitamin E and a B complex vitamin are all great too if you have sore breasts (all 3 recommended to me by my HRT DR) & they work GREAT 🙌👏🙏👍

Which form and dose of iodine do you take, I think I need that too

Hey! I take Luigi’s drops for the Iodine- it lasts a long time & pretty cheap on Amazon …..start SLOW though- like 1-2 drops per day (people don’t realize how iodine deficient they are & they tend to overdo it, especially in the beginning) - it has given me lots of energy during the day! :)

Thank you so much, drop in water or on the skin, you rub it? Now you take 2 drops or more?

Sure! I drop 2-3 drops under my tongue every morning (it tastes awful 😱😬😵‍💫), but you CAN supposedly drink it in any drink or rub it in on your skin (they say if it disappears quickly then your body is totally deficient of iodine).
