Um, Guys: Tri-Quench is SSKI, It is NOTan iodine + KI solution. My Bad.

[Guest guest]

At least I did say I wasn't familiar with it, before making a right fool of

myself. But I did go to the Scientific Botanicals website, to check out what

BaxRox said about their bottle, and based on what they say you can safely ignore

most, if not all, of what I previously wrote. Here's the correct product info.

It's a potassium iodide solution whose concentration is 1 g (note, not mg) per

ml -- this qualifies it as " supersaturated " , hence the term SSKI. It's sold in

a 30 ml bottle whose dropper, per the manufacturer, does generate 1200 drops per

bottle (that's 40 per ml, and yes, that is a small drop for a bottle) and the

product statement is that each drop yields 25 mg KI (comprising 19 mg Iodide and

6 mg potassium). KI itself is clear, not brown (it's the iodine in Lugol's that

tints it) so I'm assuming that Tri-Quench is colorless. And we can all forget

the discussion of iodine to KI ratios, because it's irrelevant to this product.

: You probably need to talk with someone with biochemical or medical (or

both) knowledge to get the full picture on the difference between an iodide

solution and an iodine/iodide compound or solution (Iodoral and Lugol's are the

latter) and what effect -- if any -- that difference may have on your personal

circumstances. SSKI is a legitimate thyroid adjuvant, but I for one can't give

any advice on comparing it to what I'm used to because I don't know anything

helpful. Anybody? Bueller?
