Iodine is very unique in that while being a mineral, it is a metal when under -30 degrees Centigrade but above this temperature it is an unstable liquid. To make it stable Potassium is added and they become a stable solid with a new name, Potassium Iodide. Iodine is the heaviest metal the body needs for life. Other heavy metals like lead and cadmium, etc. are all dangerous to the body’s health. We produce iodine as potassium iodide in a natural state. This is not a homeopathic remedy. It is the real iodine in a natural state without using alcohol and without the impurities that would follow. This is natural organic, water soluble crystals, dissolved in R/O water.
When a pharmacy-grade liquid-iodine is made they use alcohol to produce it. When iodine or potassium iodide is processed with alcohol, the resulting liquid always turns red and has impurity sediments. When using complex or colloidal elements it is estimated that the human biology will be able to breakdown and absorb between 1-5%. If the recommened dose is 2,000 mg daily (of a complex element) to derive the approximate need of a mono-atomic (such as the pure element of iodine), multiply by 1% probable absorption to get the answer – 2,000 mg x 1% = 20mg.
One tablespoon (15cc) has 0.92 mg of Iodine (384% of the RDA)
Directions: Standard Use
- 1 tablespoon (15cc) daily as maintenance, use more if needed or as recommended by your health care professional.
- Children use 1.5 teaspoons (7.5cc) daily as maintenance, use more if needed or as recommended by a health care professional.
Do Not take iodine prior to going to sleep, iodine has a tendency to increase your energy and may make falling to sleep difficult. It is suggested to not take iodine if you plan to go to sleep within four hours.
