White Iodine, 4 oz (1 Bottle)

Iodine is a trace mineral needed to make thyroid hormones that regulate human growth and development. Regarded as an essential nutrient to maintain optimal health, potassium iodide can also be used clear up clogged airways and as a topical antiseptic. Our food grade and chemically pure White Iodine is a potassium iodide solution that can be used both internally and externally. The thyroid gland needs sufficient iodine to make hormones that regulate metabolism and play a key role in human growth and development. Without it, an under active or over active thyroid may reveal itself in the form of fatigue, weight gain or weight loss, dry skin, or an enlarged thyroid (goiter). Potassium iodide can be taken after exposure to radiation. It reduces the levels of radioactive iodine accumulated in the thyroid. The thyroid cannot distinguish between the safe, stable form of iodine and radioactive iodine; the thyroid absorbs both. Flooding the body with non-radioactive iodine aids in preventing the absorption of radioactive iodine. Potassium iodide can be used as an expectorant, which encourages coughing up mucous to clear clears the airways. For this reason it helps with pulmonary conditions such as asthma, bronchitis, and emphysema. Externally, White Iodine can be used as a topical antiseptic. It will not stain your skin or clothing like some iodine solutions. Apply to cuts, burns, and insect bites to prevent infection. Applying White Iodine to the scalp encourages hair growth. And when applied to the nails, White Iodine strengthens weak, brittle nails.
