24 Hour Urine Iodine Loading Test Kit

This Test Is Considered The 'Gold Standard'
For Evaluating Iodine Levels In The Body.


Think of it as a science experiment... starring your pee! 

This test evaluates whole-body iodine sufficiency or deficiency. After ingesting a standardized 50 mg dose Dr. Lugol's tablet, all urine produced over the following 24 hours is collected and measured. The amount of iodine excreted is then compared to the amount originally consumed, essentially, your body "shows its work."

How the Test Works

  • Baseline and Dose: You begin with a baseline sample or a "clean" starting point, then ingest a 50 mg oral dose Dr. Lugol's tablet.

  • Collection: All urine produced over the next 24 hours is collected in a specialized, large container provided in the test kit.

  • Measurement: Whole-body sufficiency is typically indicated when 90% or more of the ingested iodine is excreted in the urine within 24 hours.

  • Retention: Excreting less than 90% suggests higher body retention, which some practitioners interpret as a potential tissue-level deficiency.

Why Urine And Not Blood For Checking Iodine Levels In The Body?  Blood is measuring what you are taking in from your diet. Urine gives a cell saturation, provided you don't have halide toxicity to block the receptors from taking it in.


The 24-Hour Iodine Loading Test is an in depth test to evaluate whole body sufficiency for Iodine, or how well your tissues are absorbing iodine. Iodine is needed for the production of thyroid hormone in the body. 

Bromide, Chloride and Fluoride are toxic hologens that take up space in the iodine receptors, if there isn't enough iodine, displacing iodine which makes an individual more iodine deficient. The 24-Hour Iodine Loading test is a test you run over 24 hours in the privacy of your home using a urine specimen. 

The toxic halogens, Bromide, Fluoride and Chloride tests can be added and are highly recommended because it will provide a clearer picture of what the TRUE status of the saturation level is. For example, if see a higher saturation level (80% or above) with a bromide level over 10 mgs/L (the upper limit of normal per Dr. Guy Abraham) you  are bromide toxic and the receptors that would normally be able to pull iodine into the cells cannot because bromide is blocking the receptors, taking up space where iodine should be in the receptors. This will result in a high level of iodine being eliminated in the urine indicating (falsely) that you are more saturated than you are.

Individuals with results such as these should consider supplementing with Lugol’s Iodine liquid or tablets (both are available at LifesHealthiest.com), in doses of 50 mgs or more for 6 months to 1 year and then retest Iodine Loading and halogen levels to see what the new status is. Dr. Abraham has stated that this amount of time is needed to make significant progress in detoxing and to build saturation in the cells. 

Instructions For Collecting The Specimen, As Well As A 50mg Iodine Tablet Are Included In The Kit.

 Whole body Iodine sufficiency is reached when 90% or more of the ingested amount is excreted in the urine.
