Ki03 Potassium Iodate GROUP / 8 BOTTLE-PACK

8 - 90 tablet Bottles in this Package. If there's a "nuclear event," and you're down-wind, you need to take KIO3 or KI before the radioactive plume reaches you. ---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. Most countries are replacing the KI in salt with KIO3 because heat does not affect KIO3 significantly. Our KIO3 tablets have an extended shelf-life of 8 or more years. ***FAQ #4: Do other countries recommend KIO3 being stocked by the citizens? As a matter of fact, Ireland,Scotland and other countries do. In fact a study was done in Scotland on that very question. ***FAQ #5: KIO3 vs. KI There is no KIO3 vs KI--they both work-- however a reader on Survival Blog was wondering if KIO3 was FDA approved. KIO3 is FDA approved and a letter to the Survival Blog explained the survival points to the readers. ---KIO3 on Wikipedia -- KIO3 is Potassium Iodate and is used worldwide in bread making, iodized salt and for thyroid blockade in case of nuclear disasters. ---WHAT IS POTASSIUM IODATE USED FOR? Potassium Iodate tablets are used ONLY at the time of a nuclear emergency! The tablets will prevent the thyroid gland from absorbing Radioactive Iodine (I-131), which is released into the environment following a nuclear accident. I-131 is radioactive and can kill you-especially children.
