If you do this over 2 months, the result will be the same, however, benefits will be both delayed and less obvious. 50mg/day provided dramatic effects for me. However, I did need to reduce the dose after a week as my digestion was affected. Because I was on TRT and my TT, FT and E2 were all in good shape, I was in a position to feel good once my iodine levels were up; and my thyroid obviously responded well.
After iodine replenishment, I suggest lower maintenance doses. Myself, I take 6mg every two-three weeks. I disagree with ongoing high dose iodine as I see no reason to do that.
No one is allergic to elemental iodine."
