Potassium iodide is a salt of stable iodine absorbed by the thyroid gland. In the event of an official health warning, it may be necessary to ensure that your thyroid gland is only absorbing stable iodine. This can be ensured by taking a daily dose of potassium iodide, which saturates the thyroid with stable iodine, blocking uptake of radioactive iodine.
PLEASE NOTE this product only protects the thyroid, it cannot protect other parts of the body from radioactive iodine. Potassium iodide may not provide 100% protection.
This is NOT a daily iodine or potassium supplement. These Potassium Iodide Tablets are intended for short term use, and ONLY when directed to do so by an official health warning.
