Contains: Iodine, Potassium
I was losing my eyebrows at the tapered end. I had all the symptoms of a low functioning thyroid. (age 60 post menopausal) My doctor refused to put me on Rx meds, saying my blood work was within normal limits. I started taking PPI one tablet a day. Within a month my eyebrows filled in and I felt much better. I like the Now brand and plan on taking these long term
Read More...Ok, the reason that I bougth these is because, just in case the war in Ukraine went sideways. They last for 5 years, and they are a cheap insurance policy. Just remember, 2 days before Covid-19 turned up in the US, you could buy a box full of masks for $10.00. This is as close to hunkering down for the apocalypse as I get
Read More...I couldn't tolerate nascent Iodine. High dosing Iodine is just as bad as not getting enough Iodine. This Potassium Iodide 225 mcg is 150% above RDA and a good level to take daily if you're iodine deficient. Prior to iodine supplementation I had an arrythmia, was feeling tired and had chest and arm pain angina like symptoms. All checked out for heart problems -- nothing. I've had thyroid surgery and iodine deficiency issues before but stopped supplementing. It took a few days but all symptoms resolved. I have my life back
Read More...Got these in case of nuclear fallout. Not 100% sure if it's the same as the "survival" ones that they sell at insanely inflated prices, but I think it is. This only protects your thyroid from certain types of radiation. It's not the same as a thick walled bunke
Read More...Potassium iodide, KI, is a good thing, and there's nothing wrong with this product except for the small dosage. Potassium is very important, especially for balancing sodium intake, but there's 2,400 mg in a pound of potatoes, 1,625 mg in a pound of bananas, 2,200 mg in a pound of avocado, and all you want in KCl, potassium chloride, "salt substitute" from any supermarket. Herein, there are only 100 mg of potassium--equivalent to one large bite of potato. The benefit of this product isn't the potassium but the iodine, and that is critical. The 225 mcg (MICROgrams) herein is considered sufficient by traditional, conventional, old-school sources (and far better than nothing!!!), but grossly inadequate by modern voices in the iodine "conversation"--and the US public is grossly deficient with many disease risks as a result. Read The Iodine Crisis by Lynne Farrow or Dr Brownstein's (poorly written) book on iodine (both on Amazon) to understand the many reasons why you want milligrams, not micrograms, (factor of 1,000) to protect against breast cancer, prostate cancer, hypothyroidism, and more. (Or go to their respective websites.) CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR! (but do your homework when she reveals her ignorance by saying this is an ample dosage). A typical dosage recommendation is 12.5 mg daily (available thru Amazon), although just taking that once a week is a good compromise between the opposing advisors and saves plenty of money too (one of those pills has as much as 55 of these!). [I am NOT a doctor and do not know your specific circumstances so cannot make any recommendations except to advise that you read about iodine from updated sources.
Read More...I take this now because I was so fatigued for no apparant reason. i could sleep for 14 hours & still have a very hard time getting out of bead. I have more energy & it's finally easy to get up in the morning. I am still tired at night and able to sleep easily. I had my blood work done after taking this for a few weeks & the Dr said my counts were perfect so keep taking it. It's worth a try, just have your DR check your blood work to make sure you need it
Read More...A lot of people, including me, are cutting some salt out of their diet and also using "Sea Salt" or "Pink Salt" or "Grey Salt" or some other gourmet salt. Well, that's great. But while you are cutting sodium, be sure to increase your potassium. And if you arent taking as much iodized table salt, you maybe arent getting enough iodine. This supplement hits both issues with a nice low dose of both in a very easy to swallow capsule
Read More...I like "NOW" brands, but these pills are inexplicable large, considering how little iodine is in them. You can find much smaller pills with more iodine
Read More...I bought this by mistake. This is Potassium Iodine. Iodide and iodine are 2 different things. If your looking for protection from radiation from nuclear, this Now brand have a Potassium Iodide supplement, just search on Amazon "Now Potassium Iodide"
Read More...The label on the bottle reads "potassium Plus Iodide", which means this is potassium with a small amount of iodide. The seller has written in the product description that this "Potassium Iodide Plus", suggesting that the word "Plus at the end makes it better or something of that nature. This can be very misleading. In the case that you dobuy real potassium iodide, here is what you should know. Potassium Iodide is Not a supplement/substitute for Sodium Chloride (table salt). Potassium Iodide should only be taken when instructed to do so by official health warnings (in case of radiation exposure). Medically it is only used as a supplement if you are Iodide deficient not "potassium" deficient. If you want extra potassium in your diet or something to add to your shake, try eating a banana. Bananas contain very high levels of potassium.
