Iodine? That's just for cuts and scrapes, isn't it?
No, every cell in the body needs it!
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 ½ 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.
Here is a summary of western safety information on iodine:
- US Recommended Daily Intake of Iodine is only 150 micrograms (mcg), which is just enough to prevent goiter in most people. That translates to 0.15 milligram, or put another way, 15% of ONE milligram.
- US Food and Nutrition Board Upper Level safety value for Iodine is 1,100 mcg (1.1mg) per day.
- Council for Responsible Nutrition safety value is 500 mcg (1/2mg) per day.
Before you start taking large daily doses of iodine please make sure you are not allergic or iodine deficient. Read the warning:
Do not take if allergic to iodine. PREVIOUS IODINE DEFICIENCY CAN CAUSE HYPERSENSITIVITY and VERY SERIOUS HEALTH PROBLEMS. If you are not used to taking large amounts of iodine daily, like people in Japan, then do iodine loading test [Angel: insert hyperlink] before supplementing on a daily basis with our product or taking more than 150 mcg per day. If you are not used to iodine larger doses may lead to VERY serious adverse health problems. Always contact your Health Professional before taking iodine supplements. More info here: SHRC
On the esoteric note: Every cell in your body has receptors for iodine and needs it. There are more cells in your body as there are stars in 500 galaxies.

Our new formula
We had to change the size and concentration of our Sodium Lugol's Iodine Veggie-Wash. This is due to government regulations (Department of Justice, Bureau of Narcotic Enforcement) that are aimed at making it impossible to create recreational drugs out of products that contain granular Iodine, such as our Sodium Lugol's Iodine Veggie-Wash. Due to regulations, this Lugol's solution was modified from 4% to 2% granular Iodine. Please double dose as needed.
For use as a dietary supplement
Regular Use-Take up to 1/2 (one-half) drop per day. Simply put one drop in a glass of water and drink half of it, or take according to the direction of your healthcare professional. Intensive Use-Take up to 12 drops in 1/2 (one-half) glass water. Do not take this dose on daily basis. See FAQ below.
History of Lugol’s and traditional use
Historically speaking, Lugol’s is a solution of Iodine named after the French physician J.G.A. Lugol. Lugol's was first made in 1829. Lugol's Iodine has been used for decades by travelers to foreign lands to wash their fruit and vegetables. When animal refuse is used as fertilizer, or if produce is grown in distant countries where unfamiliar diseases abound, Lugol’s may help.
Note: Lugol’s Iodine can “crawl” out of its bottle even when it is tightly closed! It can stain the sink and counter top. If this happens use Vitamin C immediately to make Lugol’s colorless, then wipe away.
The Council for Responsible Nutrition (CRN)
Founded in 1973, is a Washington-based trade association representing ingredient suppliers and manufacturers in the dietary supplement industry. CRN members adhere to a strong code of ethics, comply with dosage limits and manufacture dietary supplements to high quality standards under Good Manufacturing Practices.
