Taking Iodine together with Vitamin C?

Hi there. I'm supplementing iodine with a 5% Lugol's liquid. I've been doing this for a few weeks already but today was the first time I added a little ascorbic acid to the water as well. As soon as it dissolved, the previously lightly brown water turned clear and when I drank it there was no usual (awful) iodine taste at all. Which is great, but does that mean that it somehow neutralizes the iodine?

I'm basically following this protocol: https://www.ketogains.com/2015/09/iodine-why-what-kind-recommended-amounts-and-how-to-supplement/

It suggests taking vitamin c as well and doesn't mention anything about taking them separately.

Can I keep taking them both together?
