Guest guest Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 Lugol's solution, 7% iodine - 1 fluid ounce NOTE: Due to heavy sales, shipments may be delayed for several days Lugol's solution is a solution of iodine and iodide in water, and is used as a topical disinfectant and antiseptic, an emergency water disinfectant, as an iodine source for saltwater aquariums, and for other uses. It can also be taken to cure iodine deficiency and to keep the thyroid from absorbing iodine-131, a highly radioactive isotope of iodine common in nuclear fallout. Invented in 1829 by the French physician Lugol, it has been tried and true for 180 years. This solution comes in an amber glass bottle with an eye dropper. Ingredients are iodine, potassium iodide, and purified water. Each full eyedropper (approximately .75 milliliters) contains about 48 milligrams of iodine and 96 milligrams of potassium iodide. Total iodine per drop is approximately 7.25mg. The iodine solution can gradually corrode the rubber in the eyedropper, so a teflon-lined cap is supplied for storage. Limit 1 per customer.On Sun, Mar 27, 2011 at 10:26 PM, <tabler@...> wrote: I see in the files that 2 drops of Lugol's 5% is about 12.5 mg iodine/iodide.

Straight math gives me 17.5 mg in 2 drops (8.75 mg in one drop). ------------------------------------ All off topic posts should go to the IodineOT group IodineOT/ Commonly asked questions: http://tinyurl.com/yhnds5e Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 , Check your iodine as I have only seen full orchestra's 7% as tincture of iodine not Lugols. The tincture is for topical application only, not for ingesting.

Guest guest Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 Thanks, Dianne, it's labeled " Lugol's solution " . Maybe he's selling different concentrations due to the run on iodine. I ordered just before he ran out of stock. > > > > I see in the files that 2 drops of Lugol's 5% is about 12.5 mg iodine/iodide. > > > > I have the 7% solution from the full orchestra.

Guest guest Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 Thanks for pointing me in the right direction, jaxi. Can I apply this full strength to my skin? Or is it best to dilute it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
