Iodine Dosing and Comparison Chart

Find out how much iodine you are taking!

Remember if you take iodine on a prolonged basis you may experience side effects. This happens especially to those not used to iodine and those depleted of iodine due to Bromide.

In that case take the products in the Iodine Building Kits.

Lugol's Iodine Kit

Two Types:
Lugol's is available in two type of packaging; glass and HDPE plastic. It's the same formula with different dispense mechanisms. The glass bottle has a glass dropper while the HDPE bottle has a plastic dropper spout. If you want to sanitize your produce, buy Lugol's in a glass bottle, if you buy it as a supplement, then get the HDPE bottle.

Veggie Wash:
It is paramount to eat clean produce. Rinsing with water alone is not enough when it comes to washing the fruits and vegetables you buy at the market. Fruits and vegetables are potential sources of food-borne illness. Take extra care in washing organic food that is often fertilized with manure as well as all fruits and vegetables that are eaten raw. Lugol's iodine has been used for decades by travelers to foreign lands to wash their fruits and vegetables.

Dietary Supplement:
The benefits of iodine are so great that we can't talk about them because of FDA regulations. Let me just say that you are best advised to do your own research. You will find research and traditional use claims indicating benefits including support for thyroid, heart, hormones, reproductive, digestive health, happiness, mental agility, intelligence, energy and much, much more.

Keep in mind that iodine has fast become extinct in modern day Western culture. There's no more fortified iodine in bread, milk or table salt. What's more, chlorinated showers and drinking water deplete the iodine your body already has. You end up with iodine depleted body. Take care of yourself -- take iodine. The Japanese do and they are healthier than most.

We sell Lugol's iodine that contains 2% granular iodine in 1 fl. oz., both those amounts are maximum allowable according to California Department of Justice. There is no limit of how many each household orders. The Federal Regulation allows for up to 5% granular iodine sold in max 1 fl. oz. bottles, with restriction of 1 bottle per household. Since we are governed by Californian laws, we can unfortunately not sell the 5% strength.

When you buy iodine tinctures from us, rest assured you are buying pure products made with the purest raw materials available and made in accordance with Dr. Clark protocols.

How much iodine should you take?
You have heard that Coastal Japanese, some of the healthiest people on earth, consume approximately 90 times that much, or 50,000 to 80,000 mcg (50 to 80mg) in their daily diet, which is high in fish and seaweed! So now you should take mega doses also!? Not so fast!

If you are currently iodine deficient you may start experiencing adverse events (hypersensitivity and thyroditis) if you take more than approximately 200mcg to 300mcg per day according to Safety Evidence from CRN Safety Iodine
Please don't misunderstand, you can still take the strong healthy dose a Japanese does, you just have to start slowly. Start with 1/8th of a drop per day. How do you do that? Simple: Pour yourself a glass of water, put one drop of Lugol's in it and drink only 1/8 of the glass (1 sip) toss the rest. Do that for a week and then take 1/4th of a drop, then 1/2 drop, then 1 drop. Always talk to your Health Professional first.
In addition to talking to your Health Professional we recommend taking the iodine loading test prior to taking larger amounts on regular basis, just in case you are deficient in iodine.

Directions: Place two quarts (2L) of water in a bowl and add 1 dropper full to get approximately 12 1/2 ppm iodine solution. Add 2 dropper fills to get approximately 25 ppm.

Completely submerge produce for 1 or more minutes. Agitate food well. Rinsing is optional. DO NOT SAVE the water for later use. It will lose its potency and color. Add more Lugol's once the water turns clear.

The CA Health Code states that the 25ppm concentration qualifies as a sanitation solution for restaurants and is as strong as a 100ppm chlorine solution.
