Radblock Potassium Iodide 65mg 200 Capsules
Product Description
Why should I consider RadBlockTM?
• RadBlockTM is approved by Health Canada to help protect people,
especially children and young adults, from dangerous radiation from
either a nuclear bomb detonation or from a serious nuclear power plant
radiation release.
• RadBlockTM is the only pill currently approved by Health Canada that
has a non-bitter coating to help prevent children from wanting to spit
the pill back out, due to the bitter taste of potassium iodide.
• RadBlockTM must be taken quickly to block the harmful effect of
exposure to radioactive iodine (but take only as directed by health
authorities). If you have RadBlockTM at your home and in your car, etc.,
you can give this product to your loved ones prior to their body
absorbing dangerous radioactive iodine. You may not have time to get
this pill from the Canadian government or a nuclear power plant in time
to prevent radioactive iodine from lodging in your thyroid gland, where
it can then cause damage and possibly thyroid problems.
• RadBlockTM is considered safe and effective, if taken as directed, and is
stockpiled throughout much of Canada. Remember though, you may not
have time to evacuate or receive pills from a stockpile in times of crisis.
• Dangerous radioactive iodine fallout was observed in nuclear weapons
testing in the United States and during the Chernobyl nuclear power
plant disaster. After Chernobyl, millions who took a product like
RadBlockTM were effectively protected against the harmful effects of
radioactive iodine exposure. Several areas that did not receive this form
of radiation protection later experienced much higher incidences of
thyroid problems (some of which were hundreds of kilometers
from Chernobyl).
