Best type and source for iodine

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I am new here and this is my first post. I am just learning about the

health effects of iodine, and have spent days looking for a good

source . Does anyone know where to get the 5% Lugol's at the best price?

Thanks,

San

This is the only place I know of. There is also a file on the groups

website for sources but it needs to be cleaned up since the DEA law went

into effect many are not selling anymore and the quantity that you can buy

is no longer a large amount (over 2 oz).

http://www.jcrows.com/iodine.html 1 oz $19.95

http://www.amazon.com/Lugols-Iodine-2-Fluid-Oz/dp/B000I20HJY/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=\

UTF8 & s=hpc & qid=1197724202 & sr=8-1

2 oz $18.95

I personally take the pill form. It is called Iodoral - It can be purchased

from here:

==================================

http://www.breastcancerchoices.org/order.html

180 tablets (12.5 mg) $33.95 + $5.95 flat rate shipping

90 tablets (12.5 mg) $22.95 + $4.95 shipping

====================================

If you want the 50 mgs then you will need to order from this website - it is

the only place that sells the high dose.

30 tablets (50 mg) $26.40 (free shipping over $100 - have lots of other

great supplements and you earn points with each purchase that can be used as

money off)

http://www.illnessisoptional.com/ace/product.asp?ProdID=19322

90 tablets (12.5 mg) $21.95

180 tablets (12.5 mg) $34.95

=========================================

Iodo-caps (100 tablets) 12.5 mgs are $17.95

http://www.gaines.com/store/Hollywood/HHP11001info.html

The only issue with this one is that the iodine docs are not sure of how

long the iodine stays inside the capsule they have a hunch that the potency

weakens with its exposure to air.

============================

Iodo-caps $16.15 100 tablets

http://www.bayho.com/p/398004.html

===========================

Maybe others have sources for the liquid.

This depends on the state you are in for some of us

we have always had to have a prescription for iodine.

Thanks to everyone for all the answers and sources for iodine. I have called

several Labs and other companies that advertised the

Lugol's in larger quantities like 16 oz for cheap but they said they could not

sell to the public anymore without a prescription.

When I mentioned all the other sources online that sell it w/o scrips she said

'well we obey the law'. Maybe it's just the larger

amount? How could these other places sell it illegally?

I'm interested in the post about Wal-Mart. Is that the original Lugol's do you

know? In my reading I came across some iodines that

were said to be 'solutions' or watered down. I'm not sure what solutions mean;

to me it's just a liquid or fluid, which it is

anyway. The labs told me that what they sold was the Lugol's 'recipe', when I

asked if it was the Original Lugol's. But if it's 5%

wouldn't it have to be the same thing? Was the Walmart iodine 5%, without a

scrip?

Thanks,

San

It's illegal to sell the 5%/10% concentration except in 1 oz

quantities, and it's illegal to sell more than one 1-ounce bottle per

transaction.

It is legal to sell the less concentrated form, 2%/4%, in greater

quantities, such as 16 oz bottles. Terms like " the Original Lugol's "

and " Lugol's recipe " do not explain the concentration. You would

have to know whether it's 5% elemental iodine and 10% potassium

iodide, or if it's, instead, 2% elemental iodine and 4% potassium

iodide. That information must be on the labels, so any lab or retail

organization should be able to give you that information.

With the lower concentration (2%/4%), 5 drops gives you the same dose

as 2 drops of the higher concentration (5%/10%) of Lugol's. It's not

so important which concentration you get, but it is important to know

what quantity you need for a dose that's comparable to the 5%/10%

solution.

Some distributors may sell the higher concentration in larger

quantities if they keep detailed records of who buys the products and

for what purpose. That's usually for agricultural, laboratory, or

science purposes. The law states: " Individuals that distribute more

than one package/bottle of Lugol's Solution (of any size) per

transaction, are subject to CSA recordkeeping and import/export

requirements. "

The complete law is here: http://www.jcrows.com/iodinealert.html

The law went into effect on August 1, 2007, so it's possible that

some individuals who sell it infrequently are not current with the

law and might inadvertently sell the higher concentration in illegal

quantities, without prescription and without keeping the required

records of who is making the purchase and for what purpose.

A low cost source of the tablet form of Lugol's is here:

http://www.relentlessimprovement.com/

Enter " iodine " in their search box to go to the product. Their

prices keep improving. Now one bottle (of 180 tablets) is $33.00.

Two or three bottles are $30.00 per bottle, and four or more bottles

are $25.00 per bottle. One tablet is equal to two drops of the

higher concentration of Lugol's solution.

Did you have a prescription? They are not supposed to sell that much

at one time.

Hi,

I called Wal-Mart today and asked about the Lugol's Iodine they sell. They told

me it was not 'Lugol's', but 'Humco' brand. Their

supplier is McKesson. A bottle of tincture 1 oz size is 9-12.00, the 16 oz was a

good deal more. The ratio is 7% iodine to 5%

potassium oidide. I guess that's why they label it 'strong'. But this is the

first time I have come across these numbers and wonder

if anyone might know what this recipe is like and is it safe with so low a

quotient of postassium?

I didn't order yet until I get more information.

Thanks,
