I do the skin absorbtion test every few days becasue I am also taking large amounts of kelp. The first time I did it, it took less than 6 hours to absorb. &amp;nbsp;As I have maintained my kelp dosage over the past few months my absorbtion rate has increased to over 24 hours which is where it is suppose to be at. &amp;nbsp;The first day I took additional iodine I notice a skip in my step, it was not like a night and day expereince but I have noticed a difference in my energy and mood. Hope this is helpful. &amp;nbsp;And all this came from going to several endorin docs over the past 7 years and then finally finding a ND who really dived in to figure out what was going on with me. &amp;nbsp;Hope this is helpful. &lt;/p&gt;
