two miles beneath the earth's surface in Western USA (one of the few places in the world where such deposits exist). Not made from shellfish. The water used is distilled,

pure, spring water. Always fresh. Does not expire. Store at room temperature out of direct sunlight. No need to refrigerate.

distilled Water 94% Potassium Iodine 4% Iodine 2%

Calculating Number of MG's of Iodine and Iodide per Drop of LUGOL'S 2% : Each VERTICAL "metric" drop (= 1/20ml) is approximately1.0 mg of iodine and 2.0 mg of

potassium iodide. The Iodide portion of Potassium Iodide is about 75% so that is 1.5 mg. Therefore the total Iodine plus Iodide is 1.0 1.5 = 2.5 mg and 2 drops is about 5.0 mg's of iodine/iodide (2.0 mg iodine, 3.0 mg iodide). Compared to iodine and potassium iodide tablets, J.CROW'S® Lugol's Solution offers big savings.

Approximately 1200 vertical drops per 2 oz. container. To use as a water purifier add 3-6 drops per liter of water.

What is the correct dosage for Iodine?

Please note, we cannot prescribe or recommend dosages. Here is an excerpt from the book Folk Medicine by Dr. Jarvis (full text at lugols.com):

"In 1829 a French physician named Lugol originated a solution which contains iodine in a solution of potassium iodide. It has been used steadily ever since it was originated.

When used to maintain the iodine content of the body the dose is small and is taken only on certain days of the week. When the mineral content of the body is analyzed,

only a trace of iodine is found. Ten drops of iodine represent more iodine than is found in the entire body. For this reason, the dose of Lugol's solution

of iodine is one or two drops (In this article Dr. Jarvis is speaking about Lugol's Solution 5% . When using Lugol's Solution 2% use 2-3 single drops to get the equivalent),

depending on your body weight. If you weigh 150 pounds or less, for example, your dose to maintain the normal iodine content of the body is one drop, taken at one meal

on Tuesday and Friday of each week. If you weigh more than 150 pounds, the dose should be two drops instead of one. It is useful to remember that the human body works

on the minimum of anything it needs. If there should be a rise in sickness in the area where you live, it would be well to take

the Lugol's solution three times a week instead of two, on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, for the purpose of storing up reserve.

How is the drop of the solution to be taken, on the directed days? In general, medical men prescribe iodine to be taken on an empty stomach,

preferably 20 minutes before food is taken. During the passing years Vermont folk medicine has worked out a different plan and it is one

I like to follow. It has been referred to in another connection elsewhere in this book. To repeat, adding one teaspoonful of apple cider vinegar

to a glass of water to make the water acid in reaction, holding the medicine dropper horizontal in order to get a maximum drop, one drop of

the Lugol's solution is added to the mixture. The contents are stirred with a spoon and sipped through the course of the meal, as one would drink a cup of coffee or tea."
