Hi @Raahema – thanks for sharing the article link. By the way, this feels very serendipitous… I literally just emailed Dr. Izabella Wentz in hopes that she’ll accept to be an upcoming guest expert on the topic of “The Roadmap to Hashimoto’s Remission“. I really hope she accepts my invitation – let’s manifest this together! 🙂

Now to answer your question… the linked article supports aloe for TPO antibodies and thyroid function based on a small study, but it doesn’t address Tg antibodies. Aloe itself is generally low in iodine, unless the specific formula includes seaweed or added iodine.

That said, anyone with thyroid antibodies should be cautious with iodine-rich foods or supplements. I typically recommend supporting with selenium first for at least two weeks before considering iodine (if needed), and then closely monitoring thyroid function. Too much iodine can sometimes raise antibodies (especially TPOAb, less so TgAb) and over time that can contribute to thyroid tissue damage. So yes, caution with iodine is definitely warranted.

But again, fresh aloe on its own is not a significant source of iodine.

Hope that helps!
