Medisca Lugol`s Solution. Strong Iodine solution
In 1829 a French physician, named Lugol, originated a solution, which contains 5% of elemental iodine in a 10% solution of potassium iodide. It has been used steadily ever since it was originated. Lugol`s iodine is a form of elemental iodine, which may be helpful in hypothyroidism and goitre caused by insufficient iodine intake. It has also been reported to assist with other hypothyroidism symptoms such as:
- Fatigue
- Sluggishness
- Weight gain
- Coldness of the body`s extremities
