Guest guest Posted April 6, 2008 Report Share Posted April 6, 2008 That's not a credible source. I have used 50 mgs of Iodoral for over 2 years and more recently 100 mgs for 6 mos. I feel better and look better than I have in years. Insoluable KI doesn't make any sense (caution section). Iodine is not soluble to begin with. Use the good research to determine what is safe not someone hawking a product. www.naturalthyroidhormones.com Iodide caution Just a cautionary note: http://www.wellnessresources.com/products/iosol_iodine.php "What is the dose of Iosol?
