Medisca Pharmaceutical Lugol's Solution USP (Strong Iodine Solution)

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

There is one downside to this product. It has a very unique metallic taste. Some people find it offensive, while others have no problem with the taste.

For general health on a daily basis, add two drops or 12.5 mg. to your 8 oz. glass of water, apple juice or apple cider in the morning.

This product does not come with a dropper.

Dr. Brownstein M.D suggests starting at 6 mg. and gradually increasing to 50 mg. dosage daily.

4 drops= 25 mg
