ID: Lugol's 5% Iodine Potassium Triiodide (I,KI) 2-ounces

Lugol's 5% Iodine Potassium Triiodide solution is intended as an "Iodine supplement" intended to be taken internally. Lugol's Iodine Potassium Triiodide is an "Iodine Supplement". The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) released guidance in December 2001 on how to safely use potassium iodide. In pill or liquid form, it can help protect you during a nuclear radiation emergency. Iodide essentially is the only form of iodine found in nature. Iodide is the ionic state of iodine, occurring when iodine forms a salt with another element such as potassium. In this form, iodide can be ingested or applied topically. The potassium iodide used in Lugol's Iodine Potassium Triiodide is extracted from an ancient underground brine mine. Iodide brine mining is the extraction of useful materials (elements, compounds) which are naturally dissolved in brine. There are only two ingredients in a traditional brine: water and salt. Dosage: 1 to 2 drops added to (4-6 oz) drink or as directed by your health care
