Guest guest Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 Thank you from me too.  My Lugols say "contains: Iodine 5% w/v. Potassium Iodide 10% w/v. Pharmaceutical raw material" Does this make this Lugols 2% or 5 %. It is in a 100ml bottle. My apologies if this has been covered elsewhere.

Guest guest Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 I am not sure this is valid. I have seen this a couple of times but never seen a scientific "study" of this.

Guest guest Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 I dunno about the science, but that's what it says on several sites that sell Lugol's. I'm just making a good guess, but I reckon the drop size changes depending on the way the dropper is held. But I've read it over and over on humpteen different sites. Well here ya go... I did find this: Holding a dropper bottle at an angle will result in the wrong amount of reagent being dispensed. Hold it vertically to maintain uniform drop size. Found it on this page: http://www.taylortechnologies.com/ChemistryTopicsCM.ASP?ContentID=77 and http://74.125.95.132/search?q=cache:Z2zQksabHzcJ:www.upb.pitt.edu/uploadedFiles/\ About/Sponsored_Programs/Science_In_Motion/Chemistry_Labs/chem033_Microscale%252\ 0Acid%2520Base%2520Titration.doc+does+the+drop+size+change+when+you+hold+a+dropp\ er+horizontally & cd=2 & hl=en & ct=clnk & gl=us & client=firefox-a These both seem to make a point about holding the droppers vertically for uniform drop size and proper measurements of whatever is in the dropper.

Guest guest Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 Always pipette vertically was what chemistry students were (and should be still) taught. That held for titration procedures, pipetting volumes, drop dispensing, and any similar procedure. Why? Surface tension, surface area, and liquid to dispenser (the dropper, etc.) contact area for starters. MikeM > > I am not sure this is valid.

Guest guest Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 , the iodine you purchased is 5% Lugol's solution. The percentage refers to amount of elemental iodine (I2) present. Some manufacturers (such as Alpha Omega Labs) erroneously include the amount of iodide in the potassium iodide to come up with a percentage. This means that a 7% iodine solution from Alpha Omega Labs is equivalent to a 2.3% Lugol's solution. They should not call their iodine solution " Lugol's " because it does not conform to the definition of Lugol's solution. However, their iodine is good; you just need to make sure you are not misled by their percentage figure. /Israel > > Thank you from me too. > > My Lugols say " contains: Iodine 5% w/v.

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 Can anyone tell me where to buy Lugols? There are so many different ones and prices I am confused. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 There are not different ones, if they say Lugols on it, it is Lugols. It’s like shopping for other things, choose the % you want, and compare prices. But many here buy from an Amazon seller, others Swanson. Donna in IL Can anyone tell me where to buy Lugols? There are so many different ones and prices I am confused. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 27, 2011 Report Share Posted August 27, 2011 , Make sure you take the Lugol's solution with food. Some peoples stomachs are senstive to it. Iodoral is enteric coated and doesn’t break down in the tummy; I take Iodoral but I make sure I also take a drop or two of Lugol's as it it is good to have the iodine exposed to the first part of the digestive system as well. Best, Kathleen lugols I plan to switch from iodoral to lugols as my dose (and the cost) gets bigger. Are there any differences (particularly on the gut) positive or negative with this move?Thank you in advance for any comments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
