Re: Reposting: Converting IodiNE to IodiDE, using Lugols

Especially on point for people who have Lugol's at hand and no access to potassium iodide, and want more iodide than the Lugol's provides. Lugol's 2% provides 1.5 mg iodiDe per drop, in addition to iodiNe. The recommended anti-radiation dose of potassium iodide is 130 mg daily, which is approximately 100 mg iodiDe and 30 mg potassium. To achieve 100 mg iodiDe would take 67 drops of Lugol's 2% in water. Instead, consider taking 40 drops in oj, so the whole 2.5 mg iodine/iodide is iodide.
