I take 1000mg .. ie a dropper full.. of 5% lugols and 400mg selenium... every other day. I and Se displace each other so you need to take both. This is just for general health but it would also cover for radioactive iodine. You can get "livestock" Lugols from a cattle supply place ..which is a LOT cheaper than from a pharmacy. You can also make your own... instructions on the Net. Lugols is bitter so I add a bit of apple cider vinegar to help kill this taste. You might have trouble getting children to take it... need a lot of sugar. One problem is that Lugols does not last forever as the Iodine component "evaporates". You still get the KI component so all is not lost. Then you could also move to NZ..... :-).. |

Quoting: Kiwi25 Sorry.. correction..should be micrograms ( Mg might kill you... but that is why you research... Quoting: Kiwi25 So 1000mg of iodine and 400mcg of selenium? That's a crazy amount of iodine! I'm taking around 10mg of iodine every day. This is from the link I gave in the OP... There are basically 4 doses of iodine taken for 4 different reasons: Quoting: Ben Fuchs1) there is the RDA dose which is 110-150 micrograms (NOT milligrams) a day of iodine (220 micrograms for pregnant and 290 micrograms for lactating women). Many kelp or food/herb based capsules and tinctures contain 150 micrograms (NOT milligrams) per drop and are based on delivering the RDA dose. They are NOT formulated for heroic dosing for emergencies. 2) there is the optimum dose, which is based on the traditional thyroid health of the Japanese which is 12.5 to 13.0 milligrams (NOT micrograms) a day. 3) there is the protective dose which is 50 milligrams (NOT micrograms) a day of iodine 4) there is the "heroic" emergency dose which is 130 milligrams (NOT micrograms) a day of iodine, which 866 times the RDA and would require 866 drops (or capsules) of a formulation that contains 150 micrograms per drop (or capsule) Clearing up the iodine confusion...
