    The best time to prepare for an emergency is BEFORE the emergency is present! Along with food, clothing, personal items, water, shelter, and medicines Potassium Iodide should be part of every person's emergency supplies. In the event of a radiation leak and emergency, Potassium Iodide, when taken correctly, will fill the thyroid gland with safe Iodine - not leaving room for radiated Iodine. Of course eating foods high in natural Iodine is the best prevention. (See the list below for options.)

    As a preventive, consume whole foods high in natural Iodine as a preventive to feed the thyroid with natural iodine! Here is a list of some natural source of iodine-containing foods and superfoods: (*estimated amounts of naturally occurring iodine)

    •  Icelandic Kelp - *8000ppm (8-12 Kelp capsules per day is recommended for average size adults)
    •  Kelp, Dulse, etc. (Seaweeds) - *5400ppm
    •  Chlorella - *100ppm
    •  Spirulina - *70ppm
    •  Pistachios - *51ppm
    •  Dark Greens in all there variety
    •  Colorful vegetables & fresh fruits
    •  Onions & Garlic

    Keep container closed and in a cool, dark place. The shelf life of the unopened container is seven years.

    When diluted as instructed, Health And Wisdom’s Potassium Iodide USP makes a less than saturated Potassium Iodide solution. Using less than saturated Potassium Iodide (KI) solution provides more accurate dosages because there is more solution overall to be measured out per dose. For example, mixing and dissolving exactly 26 grams of Potassium Iodide USP into a one liter bottle of water produces 1000 ml of Potassium Iodide solution with a strength of 130 mg for each 5 ml (1 teaspoon) of that Potassium Iodide (KI) solution. There are 200 of those 5 ml servings in that 1000 ml (1 liter). Five ml can be easily and accurately measured out with a common graduated medicine dropper or one teaspoon.
