LA Naturals Potassium Iodide 150 mcg 2 oz

Potassium Iodide is a salt similar to your table salt which is potassium chloride. It is made by combining potassium with iodine. The chemical symbol for Potassium Iodide is KI. It is commonly added to table salt to make it iodized and insure that the diet contains enough iodine for proper thyroid function.

Iodine is a mineral needed by your thyroid gland to make hormones that regulate energy and metabolism. Other food sources include fish and seafood.

How does Potassium Iodide (KI) provide protection from radiation?

In the event of a nuclear explosion or an accident like Chernobyl, or the Japanese Tsunami that caused radiation leaks, dangerous radioactive iodine is released. It can travel hundreds of miles in the wind, contaminating air, food and water. Exposure to even small amounts can cause serious health problems, including thyroid cancer.

Taking Potassium Iodide in the event of a nuclear emergency saturates the thyroid gland with safe, stable iodine effectively blocking the uptake of radioactive iodine. Once the thyroid is "full" the excess radioactive iodine is safely eliminated through the kidneys.

When the thyroid gland is full of safe iodine, the radioactive iodine is flushed from the system. So, the Potassium Iodide basically prevents the absorption of radioactive iodine by your thyroid gland, protecting you from its damaging effects.

Is Potassium Iodide (KI) FDA-approved?

Yes, Potassium Iodide (KI) is approved and recommended by the FDA for use during a nuclear emergency. The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission believes that it is a "prudent and reasonable measure".
