High Potency Iodine/Potassium Iodide Supplement Iodoral is a tablet form of Lugol solution. One 12.5 mg tablet of Iodoral supplies an amount of total elemental iodine comparable to the average daily intake of this essential element by mainland Japanese. ## Features - High Potency Iodine/Potassium Iodide Supplement Iodoral is a tablet form of Lugol solution. One 12.5 mg tablet of Iodoral supplies an amount of total elemental iodine comparable to the average daily intake of this essential element by mainland Japanese. - Iodine is an essential element. Although its main function is in the production of thyroid hormones by the thyroid gland, other organs in the body have a need for iodine in order to function normally. - Several studies have demonstrated a need for iodine intake. The minimum amount of iodine determined in these studies is equivalent to 0.1 mg/kg body weight/day. For example, for a 50 kg woman, the daily amount of iodine would be 5 mg. The thyroid gland needs iodide to function properly. The original study done 80 years ago in adolescent girls used 9 mg iodide daily. - During the early 1900's, the iodine/iodide solution called Lugol solution was used extensively, effectively and safely in medical practice, for both low activity and above normal activity of the thyroid gland. The recommended daily intake for iodine supplementation was 2 to 6 drops of Lugol solution, providing 12.5 to 37.5 mg total iodide. That amount was mentioned as lately as 1995 in a book on Pharmaceutical Sciences. - Several investigators have shown convincing evidence for the need for adequate iodine intake. Japanese women living in Japan consumed a daily average of 13.8 mg total elemental iodine and some research suggests this is an important factor for their relative health. In the 1960's, one slice of bread in the USA contained the full RDA of 0.15 mg iodine. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B005MKP9OK | | ASIN | B005MKP9OK | | Best Sellers Rank | #48,882 in Health ( See Top 100 in Health ) #1,035 in Mineral Supplements | | Brand Name | Optimox | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (2,836) | | Customer reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (2,836) | | Diet Type | Gluten Free | | Flavor | Unflavored | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00882858858664 | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Form | Tablet | | Item model number | 103513 | | Manufacturer | Optimox | | Manufacturer | Optimox | | Manufacturer Part Number | 140970000003 | | Model Number | 103513 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Primary Supplement Type | Potassium | | Product Benefits | Thyroid Support | | Product Dimensions | 6.35 x 3.56 x 2.54 cm; 41 g | | UPC | 882858858664 | | Unit Count | 90.0 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Optimox - **Flavour:** Unflavored - **Item form:** Tablet - **Primary supplement type:** Potassium - **Unit count:** 90.0 Count ## Images ![Optimox - Iodoral High Potency Iodine/Potassium Iodide Supplement 90 Tablets 103513 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/5135fl71g5L.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is the product formulated with ingredients that are mercury free and do not come from China or India?** A: The label nor the insert pamphlet state whether it is manufacturer in China or India. It only states that it is manufacturer for Optimox Corporation, Torrance, CA 90510-3378- www.optimox.xom 1(800)223-1601 **Q: The last I bought was about $35. for 180 tablets. Now $165--WHY?** A: Optimox doesn't even carry Iodoral/sell Iodoral on their own website any longer without any explanation. Something shady is going on. I was able to buy a 180 count bottle from Lucky Vitamin for $37.99. **Q: Are the ingredients natural or synthetic?** A: Iodoral is all natural and contain only two ingredients both iodine -based. They are Iodine and Potassium Iodide. Numerous studies show that iodine deficiency leads to hypothyroidism; an increase in iodine usually soothes the problem. Iodine must be paired with Vitamin A to actually work within the thyroid properly. You can take Iodoral until your thyroid functions normally. Iodine cures hypothyroidism a leading cause of weight gain. I hope I have answered your question. **Q: I am curious why anyone would buy this when you can get J.CROW'S® Lugol's Solution of Iodine 1/3 the cost?** A: I use J.Crow's because it is approved for cancer patients by the Gerson Cancer Institute and it contains just distilled water, Potassium Iodide and Iodine. It is sourced from "mined crystals from 320 million year old natural brine deposits two miles beneath the earth's surface in Western USA (one of the few places in the world where such deposits exist). Not made from shellfish. The water used is distilled, pure, spring water. Always fresh. Does not expire." Their website says: "Calculating Number of MG's of Iodine and Iodide per Drop of LUGOL'S 2%: Each VERTICAL "metric" drop (= 1/20ml) is approximately1.0 mg of iodine and 2.0 mg of potassium iodide. The Iodide portion of Potassium Iodide is about 75% so that is 1.5 mg. Therefore the total Iodine plus Iodide is 1.0 + 1.5 = 2.5 mg and 2 drops is about 5.0 mg's of iodine/iodide (2.0 mg iodine, 3.0 mg iodide).
