5 amino 1MQ Iodide Salt

So I recently found out that 5-Amino-1MQ actually comes in two different salt forms, iodide and chloride. The iodide salt would have a higher molecular weight than the chloride form, so you’d technically be getting less of the actual active compound per mg.

Now that I know the iodide form exists, I’ve started seeing people say it’s not safe to take regularly because the compound is bound to iodide, that would add up to a huge amount of iodine per dose, which could be a problem for thyroid function if you’re taking it regularly.

I’ve also noticed both the iodide and chloride versions listed under the same CAS number (42464-96-0), so it’s hard to differentiate between them when it comes to purchasing.

Does anyone know more about this? Is the iodide form is bad, or knows what the real difference is between the two? Trying to figure out if this is something worth actually being cautious about or if it’s just something that gets repeated around without much behind it.
