INFO FROM MEDICAL CORPS.: FAQ #1: Why don't you make KI instead of KIO3-or both? At one time Medical Corps made KIO3 and KI. However, KI causes cancer in lab animals and KIO3 does not. FAQ #2: Is KIO3 effective? Yes. It is used worldwide in Ireland, Scotland, the USA, Asia and Arab countries FAQ #3: Does KIO3 have a long shelf-life? Yes, a very long shelf-life.
