if im not mistaken iodide is the more usable form of iodine, rather than iodate; and additions of iodine via supplementation or water changes get all or mostly oxidised to the iodide or iodate.
I just got my first icp test back and im deficient in iodine and other trace elements. my goal is to correct iodine first and the two products available to me are fauna marin elemental iodine, and seachem iodide. both of which claim to be stabilized. just judging by the bottle label , fauna marin is selling iodine, and seachem is selling iodide. isnt it better to just get the seachem iodide instead of losing product to iodate through oxidation by buying fauna marin iodine? seachem is also more affordable and seems to be more concentrated too. (1ml vs 5ml for correction via calculator).
both products claim to be stabilised, (so maybe fauna marins iodine doesnt oxidise before being used), and seachem claims it stays fully bioavailabl and remains in iodide form. wondering how its possible ... is it compounded with polymers of some sort perhaps.
