Potassium Iodide has been selling like crazy recently on major supplements stores Iherb completely sold out as of now http://www.iherb.com/Search?kw=Potassium+Iodide
No way Jose! Key element here is iodine which needs to be taken up by the thyroid and block it from taking in radioactive iodine.
In my panic I bought some 99mg potassium tablets...then I read your post :-( I did get some sea kelp continuing iodine though
The kelp tablets contain a small fraction of iodine compare to the 'real' KI stuff , like 100-1000 times difference. I am taking kelp supplement as part of my regime for many months now. Looking at Iherb even most of the kelp is out of stock too! Unbelievable!
If you do a search of iodate v's iodide they all seem to follow the basic story line of the link below. http://www.nukepills.com/potassium-iodate-vs-potassium-iodide.html
Be extremely cautious taking this advice. Consult a medical professional prior to taking these pills. You have been warned.
I have taken 130 mg a day for extended periods with no real effect.....other than hard to sleep. Nothing to be scared of 50 mg pills of Potassium Iodate and research will show that. I currently have Iodoral (50 mg) in bottles of 30 tablets each.
