A loading test asks a different question: given a known dose, how much does the body hold on to and how much does it let go? The reasoning is that a body with lower iodine stores retains more of a dose. It's an indirect measure and its interpretation is debated, which is worth knowing before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat you get\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eKit posted to you with the iodine dose, collection container and instructions.
