Product Description
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.
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.
Potassium Iodide FAQs
What is Potassium Iodide (USP) good for?
Potassium iodide delivers iodine, a key mineral in thyroid function and cellular metabolism. When taken according to the directions, it will flood the thyroid, preventing the uptake of radioactive iodine. This can support thyroid health following radiation exposure.
Why use USP-grade potassium iodide?
“USP” indicates that the potassium iodide meets the purity and quality standards set by the United States Pharmacopeia. This helps ensure consistency, safety, and absence of contaminants.
