the vitamin C in citrus does reduce the I2 to an iodide. i take lugols in orange juice if i am doing high doses. normally though i use 00 vegcaps. 8-9 drops fills those and you take it immediately of course. i take those with water, PLENTY of water. two of those a day do me fine.
i would love to find a good source of potassium iodide, both pills like they use for the nuke pills and a cheap bulk crystals supplier. i wonder if the gov would surplus some of those nuke pills they hoard? i would much rather have those than MRE's.
