Hi,
This is the Lugol's I normally buy but not sure if it is legit 7%. Can someone take a look please?

They also have 15% (!);
http://bobbys-healthy-shop.co.uk/show-product-details.php?ID=98
I called the company and they said they are legit. I questioned him on the metric/imperial information they give, apparently the built in dropper that you get with the bottle (not rubber) is a metric dropper but seeing as I am taking 100mg and the drops come out sooooo slowly I would be waiting forever for them to come out.
So basically is it true that using a rubber ended dropper will cause problems as Iodine is a an oxidant and therefore breaks the rubber down releasing toxic compounds? From what I can see J.Crows Iodine has a built in rubber dropper.
If all this is a load of crud then I might just go and buy J. Crows 5% but it is more expensive than the one above and less potent (if the one above is legit).
I will await your thoughts!
B.

Funnily enough I restocked using this website last week, also purchasing the 7% you mentioned. The previous Lugols I had bought from another site was 2% iirc, but seemed so much more potent (tasted stronger and the colour seemed a lot darker), when measuring out the same amounts of iodine/iodide. I was wondering whether the 7% is actualy 7% too, or if it is weaker. I also replaced the dropper included with a actual pipette dropper from my previous bottle. - Re: Confirm whether this is 7% Lugol... just thinking

These brain twisters do come up every so often.
(Note: I2 does not stand for the number 12. I2 = molecular iodine, i.e., 2 atoms of capital i)
Here's the straight skinny from Trapper --
http://www.curezone.com/forums/fm.asp?i=1623991#i
one ml of Lugols 5% will have 100mg of KI and 50mg of I2 for a total Iodine content of 125mg
And here's the comparison from Bobby's Health Shop --
Their 7% Lugol's -- 1 ml has 50 mg KI and 25 mg I2 for a total iodine content of 63 mg. This is half the iodine content of 5% Lugol's, so I'd call it 2-1/2% Lugol's.
Their 15% Lugol's -- 1 ml has 120 mg KI and 60 mg I2 for a total iodine content of 151 mg. This looks to be 6% Lugol's.
It's been proposed before that their labelling practice includes the percent of I2 + KI, whereas the usual label for Lugol's reflects only the percent of I2. That's why their numbers look so large and impressive, while their solution is weaker than implied.

This is a reply to # 1,883,825Great, excellent post. I will stick to the 5% I mentioned earlier.
So actually whilst I thought I was taking 100mg I was not, how misleading!
So how many drops of the Bobby Health 7% would I have to take to get to 100mg?
I want to use it all up and get the real stuff.
Thanks,

This is a reply to # 1,883,877Hi; I see that the webside mentioned is located in UK.
Anyone living in Europe can get hold of very low prized Lugols (called Aqueous Iodine) from Asset chemist; under 9£ for half a liter. This is where I get mine from.
Hyperdrug also has Lugols; 4 £ for 100 ml.

”The formula you guys have developed is so gentle, unique, and effective.”
Honestly, I think all the different dilutions are "real stuff." It's just a matter of how many drops you need to get the dose you're aiming for.
They said the included dropper was metric, which according to their chart yields 3.15 mg iodine/iodide. That matches with thinking that the solution is 2-1/2%, since the usual 5% Lugol's drop is 6.25 mg iodine/iodide. Using their dropper, you'd have to double up what you've been doing. Using a different dropper for which you don't know the size drop it delivers, I wouldn't know what to do except guesstimate according to taste. Sometimes there's as much art as science in iodine therapy :)

This is a reply to # 1,884,141jcrows went to a 2% solution due to government regulation. that was honest. any time i hear 7% solution, it sounds dishonest - fictional like sherlock holmes. it seems designed to make it look like youre getting more for less when actually youre getting less for more.
such is the nature of what passes for business in america today. honest people are regulated out of the picture, leaving only the tenacious(jcrows and magnascent) and the unscrupulous pirates. even optimox's iodoral is "optimized" for profits, which makes it real important to buy it from a helpful and caring non-profit like breastcancerchoices so the money does someone less fortunate some good.
can i get an amen, brothers and sisters!?!- Re: Confirm whether this is 7% Lugol... Ginagirl 13 y 2,697

This is a reply to # 1,883,825wow, thats as clear as mud!
it does tell the gist of it, though. its just people getting creative. if anyone wants the real thing so we are all on the same page, get Lugols from jeff or me, iodoral from breastcancerchoices, or KI from any number of sources.
if you want the best, highest purity, fresh and properly handled and stored Iodine supplements, here i am.
