Note: Vertical drops are specified, horizontal drops deliver almost 2 x more mg
* 2% LugolsIodine = 3.1mg per drop ( Iodine 1.25 mg + Iodide 1. 875 mg )
So the rule of thumb says, 0.08mg Iodine per pound of body weight and if your child is 25 lbs, then 25x.08mg = 2mg a day or 14mg per week. I think 1 drop a day for 5 days a week is close enough for government work. https://sites.google.com/site/iodinereferenes/mothers
