How It Works
Iodine is an essential trace element required for the production of thyroid hormones, including thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3). These hormones help regulate metabolism, energy production, temperature balance, and many cellular processes throughout the body.
Iodoral® provides both iodine and iodide in a tablet format inspired by Lugol solution. This gives the product a broader iodine profile than formulas that provide only potassium iodide or only kelp-based iodine. The tablet format also helps provide a more precise amount per serving compared with liquid iodine products.
With 12.5 mg of total iodine/iodide per tablet, Iodoral® is a high-potency iodine supplement and should be used thoughtfully, especially by individuals with thyroid conditions or those taking thyroid-related medications. For those specifically looking for iodine and iodide support for thyroid hormone production and metabolic wellness, this formula offers a stable, well-known option.
Suggested Use
As a dietary supplement, take 1 tablet daily, or as directed by a healthcare practitioner.

High Potency Vitamin B Complex
Supports ATP production by providing high potency riboflavin and niacin (as inositol hexanicotinate), precursors of NADH and FADH2
Intended to be used as part of a complete nutritional program which emphasizes magnesium
ATP Cofactors™ can be combined with any Optimox® multivitamin-mineral formula or MAG 200® for enhanced micronutrient support
ATP Cofactors™ is a specially formulated high potency vitamin B2/B3 combination, containing 100 mg of riboflavin and 500 mg of niacin (as inositol hexanicotinate) per tablet. ATP Cofactors™ supports ATP production by providing the precursors of NADH and FADH2.* Intended to be used as part of a complete nutritional program emphasizing magnesium instead of calcium.
B-vitamins including riboflavin and niacin, but also thiamine and pyridoxine, cannot function well in the body without being activated by phosphorylation, which requires magnesium. Adequate magnesium supports optimal performance of B vitamins.
SUGGESTED USE: One to three tablets daily, or as recommended by a healthcare provider. When used in conjunction with Iodoral® 50 mg tablets, the recommended amount is one tablet of ATP Cofactor for each 50 mg tablet of Iodoral®.
WARNING: The urine may turn dark yellow due to the excretion of riboflavin and may stain undergarment in subjects with urinary incontinence. The flushing associated with niacin does not occur because the formula uses a non flushing form of niacin.
ATP Cofactors™ is supplied in bottles of 90 tablets, a one month supply at 3 tablets per day.
Manufactured for BIOMICOTEK, a Division of Optimox.

Overview
Optimox® Iodoral® 50 mg provides a high-potency combination of elemental iodine and potassium iodide in a precisely quantified tablet form. Designed as a solid alternative to Lugol’s solution, Iodoral® supports healthy thyroid hormone production, metabolic balance, cellular function, and antioxidant activity.
Modeled after the higher iodine intake observed in traditional seaweed-rich diets, Iodoral® helps maintain endocrine resilience and supports the body’s ability to manage environmental halogen exposure.
Key Benefits
- 50 mg total iodine/iodide per tablet
- Supports healthy thyroid hormone production (T3 and T4)
- Promotes metabolic balance and energy regulation
- Supports antioxidant and immune activity
- Tablet alternative to Lugol’s solution
- Precisely measured and convenient dosing
How It Works
Iodine and iodide are essential cofactors for the synthesis of thyroid hormones thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3), which regulate metabolism, cellular repair, and energy production throughout the body.
Iodoral® combines molecular iodine and potassium iodide to provide balanced delivery. Iodine also competes with environmental halogens such as bromine, chlorine, and fluorine, supporting healthy thyroid uptake and cellular iodine balance.
Beyond thyroid support, iodine contributes to immune modulation and cellular redox balance, playing a regulatory role in multiple tissues.
Who Is This For
- Individuals seeking targeted thyroid support
- Those concerned about iodine insufficiency
- Individuals exposed to environmental halogens
- People working with healthcare practitioners on iodine protocols

Multivitamin-Mineral for Women with PMS
Optivite® PMT is the first multivitamin - multimineral supplement formulated for use by women with Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS).* Available to PMS sufferers over the past 30 years, Optivite® underwent several clinical studies published in peer-reviewed medical journals: 3 open trials (1-3) and 2 double blind placebo-controlled studies.*(4,5) A 50% reduction of PMS complaints has been observed in those studies following 1 to 3 months on this supplement.* When 313 PMS sufferers were followed for up to 5 years on this program, an interesting observation was that the number of tablets of Optivite required to maintain the improvement in PMS decreased over time:
- 5.2 + 0.36 tablets between 2 and 6 months
- 4.8 + 0.6 tablets between 7 and 12 months
- 4.3 + 0.48 tablets between 13 and 24 months
- 3.2 + 0.34 tablets over 24 months.*(1)
With over 100,000 women on this program during the first 5 years of availability of Optivite®, not a single documented case of Vitamin A toxicity or peripheral neuropathy due to Vitamin B-6 has been reported.*(1) Optivite® is recommended as part of a total dietary program to obtain best results.*(6,7)
