» Lugol's Iodine Solution Background
In 1880, a French physician named Jacques Lugol originated a solution which contains 5 percent of elemental Iodine in a 10 percent solution of Potassium Iodide. It has been used steadily ever since.
» Iodine Health Benefits
A function of Iodine in the human body relates to clear thinking. Iodine is linked with normal cognitive function. This is the process in the brain responsible for memory, attention, learning, reasoning, and decision making.
Not only does Iodine play an important role in the brain, it also contributes to the normal production of thyroid hormones and normal thyroid function.
It is well established that the Iodine content of the thyroid gland is dependent upon the Iodine available in the food and water intake of the individual. If the Iodine intake is low, the gland is deprived of the element it needs to do its work.
If you are having problems with your thyroid, contact your healthcare professional. They can provide thyroid function tests which can identify the cause of your problem.
» Other Iodine Benefits
- Iodine contributes to the normal growth of children
- Iodine contributes to the maintenance of normal skin
- Iodine contributes to normal functioning of the nervous system
- Iodine also contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism
» Iodine in the Human Body
The human body does not produce Iodine so it is an important part of your diet. Dietary Iodine is the best way to get it into the body. Foods which analysis shows are particularly rich in Iodine include all foods from the ocean, along with: radishes, asparagus, carrots, tomatoes, spinach, rhubarb, potatoes, peas, strawberries, mushrooms, lettuce, bananas, cabbage, egg yolk, and onions
» Iodine Displacement
Iodine is an element belonging to the group on the periodic table known as the Halogens. There is a well-known law of halogen displacement which can cause iodine to be ‘pushed’ out of the body. The halogen group is made up of the following elements, shown with their Relative Atomic Weights:
| Fluorine | 19.0 | Most Reactive |
| Chlorine | 35.5 | |
| Bromine | 80.0 | |
| Iodine | 127.0 | Least Reactive |
The critical activity of any one of these four halogens is in inverse proportion to its atomic weight. This means that any one of the four can displace the element with a higher atomic weight, but cannot displace an element with a lower atomic weight. For example, Fluorine can displace Chlorine, Bromine and Iodine because Fluorine has a lower atomic weight than the other three. Similarly, Chlorine can displace Bromine and Iodine because they both have a higher atomic weight, and so on. But the reverse is not possible. Knowledge of this well-known chemical law surely brings into question the addition of Chlorine to our drinking water as a purifying agent. It seems we have a source of drinking water that is harmful to the body, not because of its germ content but because the Chlorine content causes the body to lose it's much-needed Iodine.

COMMENTS & FEEDBACK ONLY. (We cannot give medical advice)
I am from Johannesburg South Africa
Also, tell me please, if Iodine supplement is safe to give to my children
regards
Anna
Many thanks.
For example one doctor recommends adult dosage of between 12.5mg to 50mgs how does that translate into drops ?
Thanks
Chris

Ian
That should be 3.15mg i think
My have 2 sisters who have both had thyroid operations for over active at a very young age.
Im thinking of buying some Iodine from you. I live in England and want to take it for all round health and protective benefits. Is 30mg per day permantly a safe dosage?
Also , to keep the iodine from just "Flushing out" , a high dosage of vitamine C is also beneficial. (1-3g). This have really changed alot for me. The clarity of mind , hightened energy level , constant comfort temperature , and a overall sense of well being. I find the dropper to be not working very well tho.. I just do some "Shakes" in a glass of water.. The taste really doesnt bother me anymore.
PLEASE, ANSWER ME. MANY THANKS.
my recent blood result showed serum TSH level 5.30and serum freeT4 11.7 I AM THINKING of taking Lugol's any advice on dosages and what about also taking kelp and sea vegetables. Regards mary
One user reports deodorant protection even after 19 hours!
Cheers,Kevin
This about 8 drops would equal 50mg
Much appreciated.

I don't know anything about dogs but if you do get the go ahead to use Iodine, make sure you use a carrier oil on the skin before. I would recommend coconut oil. If you don't do this, it may irritate the skin. I know it does this in humans, not sure about dogs though.
thank you
