Guest guest Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 I have been looking around to buy the ingredients for the recipe you put out earlier with Tammy. I have run into different types of potassium iodide i.e. potassium iodide, usp or crystals. Can you spell out what is on your packaging for both ingredients please. You need to write your own " Make Your Own Lugol's for Dummies " book LOL Thanks for all your great advice on the board! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 I buy my crystals from:http://www.bulkreefsupply.com/store/it arrives promptly and is good quality. With potassium iodide, there is no brand and if it says potassium iodide, it's good. I buy mine from an aquarium supply store because it's cheaper and I've never had a problem with them. I'm not sure why the lateness and plastic bag alarm you, but the crystals will keep just about forever if they're in a closed container.

Guest guest Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 I got the iodine from him as well. Seems fine, but no paper work on it. I've been using it and I'm still here Re: making lugols What about the iodine crystals? Did you buy them from him as well? What quality were they?

Guest guest Posted May 18, 2011 Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 There are a lot of products out there with fancy packaging that aren't worth diddly. And the fancy packaging adds to the cost of the product. What do you want to pay for?AnneOn May 16, 2011, at 1:51 PM, Coyle wrote: Hey guys I purchased 500mg of iodine crystals and 1000mg of potassium iodine from a website that was recommended by someone on the iodine group calledHotDeals.com.

Guest guest Posted May 18, 2011 Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 I have bought from Full Orchestra on EBay and the product has done wonders for my dogs gums. I also use the mixed iodine. The stuff talked about below that came in plastic bags I would question since iodine seems to attack most plastic and rubber (like dropper tops). If anyone has a better source for the chemicals, by all means let the list know. > > > > > Hey guys > > I purchased 500mg of iodine crystals and 1000mg of potassium iodine from a website that was recommended by someone on the iodine group calledHotDeals.com. > > I made the order about 30 days ago and am just now starting to receive Some of the product.

Guest guest Posted May 18, 2011 Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 Full Orchestra is the eBay seller ID that sells Lugol's. If you read up in the thread you would find this information.
