Details
How to take it
One tablet daily, or as directed by your doctor, midwife or pharmacist. It's recommended throughout pregnancy and while breastfeeding, and it's worth starting before you conceive so your levels are already where they should be from the very beginning.
What's in it
Each tablet contains 253mcg of potassium iodate, providing 150mcg of iodine.
Worth knowing
150mcg is the recommended supplement dose on top of the iodine you get from food, not your total daily requirement. It's not a case of more being better, as too much iodine can affect thyroid function, so stick to the recommended dose and don't double up with other iodine-containing supplements without checking first. If you have a thyroid condition or take thyroid medication, talk to your doctor before starting. This isn't a substitute for medical advice.

What NeuroTabs is.
If your doctor, midwife or pharmacist mentioned NeuroTabs, here's the short version. It's an iodine supplement. Each tablet contains 253mcg of potassium iodate, which delivers 150mcg of iodine, the amount recommended as a daily supplement in New Zealand for anyone who's pregnant, breastfeeding, or trying to conceive.
Iodine matters because it's essential for a baby's brain and nervous system to develop normally, and New Zealand soil is naturally low in it, which means most people here don't get enough from food alone. That's why an iodine supplement is standard advice through pregnancy, not an optional extra.
What makes it different
Most people trying to conceive know about folate. Far fewer know about iodine, and in New Zealand that gap actually matters. Our soil is naturally low in iodine, which means the food grown in it is too, and most of us simply don't get enough from our diet. That's why an iodine supplement is standard advice here through pregnancy and breastfeeding, rather than a nice-to-have.
Meet NeuroTabs. One small tablet a day gives you 150mcg of iodine, exactly the daily supplement amount recommended in New Zealand for pregnancy and breastfeeding. It's simple, it's specific, and it does one job properly, which is why it's the iodine tablet so many people are pointed toward in the first place.
The reason iodine is such a big deal is what it's needed for. It's essential for the healthy development of your baby's brain and nervous system, and the demand for it rises during pregnancy just as your body needs to draw on more of it. Getting your levels sorted before you conceive means that foundation is already in place from the very earliest weeks, which is exactly when it counts.
Iodine is one half of the preconception picture, and folate is the other. If you're taking Doctor's Best Fully Active Folate 800, NeuroTabs is its natural partner, and our Complete Prenatal Supplement bundles the two so you can cover both in one go. Two nutrients, one solid foundation, right from the start.
- 150mcg of iodine per tablet, the daily supplement dose recommended in NZ
- Essential for your baby's brain and nervous system development
- One tablet a day, and the natural partner to a folate supplement
About NeuroTabs
What is NeuroTabs used for?
It's an iodine supplement. Each tablet delivers 150mcg of iodine, which is the daily supplement dose recommended in New Zealand during pregnancy, breastfeeding, and when you're trying to conceive. Iodine is essential for your baby's brain and nervous system to develop normally.
My doctor or midwife gave me this. Why?
Because iodine supplementation is standard advice in New Zealand for pregnancy and breastfeeding. New Zealand soil is low in iodine, so most people don't get enough from food alone. NeuroTabs is a simple way to close that gap at the recommended dose.
Do I need folate as well?
Yes, they do different jobs. Iodine supports brain and nervous system development, while folate supports neural tube development and cell division. Both are recommended when you're trying to conceive. NeuroTabs is iodine only, so you'd take folate separately, or use our complete prenatal pairing to get both.
What is potassium iodate, and is it the same as potassium iodide?
Potassium iodate is the compound that delivers the iodine in each tablet, 253mcg of it providing 150mcg of iodine. It's a different compound from potassium iodide, though both are sources of iodine. What matters for you is the iodine dose, which is 150mcg per tablet.
When should I start taking it?
Ideally before you conceive, so your iodine levels are already where they should be from the earliest weeks. Then continue throughout pregnancy and while breastfeeding, or as advised by your midwife or doctor.
Can I take too much iodine?
Yes, which is why the dose matters. 150mcg is what's recommended as a daily supplement, and more isn't better, as excess iodine can affect thyroid function. Don't double up with other iodine-containing supplements without checking, and speak to your doctor first if you have a thyroid condition.
Can I take it while breastfeeding?
Yes. Iodine supplementation is recommended through breastfeeding as well as pregnancy, since your baby continues to rely on your iodine intake.
