Iodine is an essential mineral required by the body. We usually get our iodine from the food we eat. However, with the depletion of iodine in the soil over recent years, a supplement is needed. The iodine used in our Lugol's solution is derived from mined crystals, not from shellfish or kelp. Iodine is essetial to support normal thyroid, pituitary and pancreatic health. Lugol's iodine solution is available in two strengths, 2.2% and 5%. Our Lugol's iodine solution utilizes potassium iodide, not sodim iodide. Sodium iodide is not recommended for people with heart or blood issues. Iodide is different from iodine, iodine is an atom and iodide is an ion.
