## Description

iOSAT Potassium Iodide Tablets 130 mg 14 Tablets

Review: Excellent Packaging! Here's Some Info on How Potassium Iodide Works - I like the professional way these Potassium Iodide tablets are packaged. Each packet has 14 tablets, which equals 14 adult daily doses. Each tablet is individually foil-wrapped in a packet. This is great for keeping track of how many you've taken. I have one packet for each member of the family, and if an emergency arises, it will be easy to keep track of who took his/her supplement. The packets are easy to store, and will be in better shape for a longer time than pills in a bottle. I thought I'd post some basic information on Potassium Iodide as an emergency supplement: The thyroid gland uptakes iodine from the bloodstream. Radioactive iodine is one of the most common of the radionuclides that may be released by nuclear fallout. If it is ingested or inhaled, the radioactive iodine will be taken up by the thyroid, greatly increasing the risk of thyroid cancer. To help avoid this, you want to saturate the body with a source of stable iodide. If the thyroid's iodine receptors are all "taken" by the non-radioactive iodide, the radioactive iodide will generally be excreted by the body. The effectiveness of potassium iodide (KI) was proven after the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear accident. Some areas with heavy nuclear fallout after Chernobyl were NOT given potassium iodide supplements, and others were. Two decades later, studies show that the rate of thyroid cancer among populations given potassium iodide soon after the accident were the same as the rate among populations that were not affected by Chernobyl. However, populations that were affected by Chernobyl, but were not given the supplement, have shown epidemic experiences of thyroid cancer. Note that potassium iodide cannot protect against any other causes of radiation poisoning. Dirty bombs, for example, produce radionuclides other than radioactive iodine. WARNINGS: 1. There are risks if you take too large a dose of potassium iodide. Side effects include skin rashes, swelling of the salivary glands, and "iodism" (metallic taste, burning mouth and throat, sore teeth and gums, symptoms of a head cold, and sometimes stomach upset and diarrhea). In addition, it is of no use to take a larger dose. Your thyroid is able to hold only so much of the iodide, so to take more than your thyroid can "take" gives you the side-effects with no benefit. It is not common, but people can have an allergic reaction to the supplement, and they'll have more serious symptoms, such as fever, joint pain, swelling of the face and/or body, and severe shortness of breath requiring immediate medical attention. In even rarer circumstances, taking a potassium iodide supplement can cause overactivity of the thyroid gland, underactivity of the thyroid gland, or enlargement of the thyroid (goiter). The probability of side-effects increases with age, particularly after age 40. 2. Time is of the essence. You DO start your potassium iodide supplement as soon as public health authorities advise. However, it is a waste to take the supplement if it is not needed and higher side-effect risk to take the supplement for longer than the recommended time, unless the public health authorities have actually said that you should continue. The side effects listed under number 1 may hold true for extended use as well as excess dosages. The standard treatment period, if you are in an area exposed to nuclear fallout, is 10 days. 3. The potassium iodide in iodized salt is the correct form of iodide. Trace amounts of it have been added to salt in the U.S. since 1924. The purpose is to reduce the incidence of the simple goiter (swelling of the thyroid gland). Worldwide, over 90% of treatable cases of goiter are caused by an iodine deficiency. HOWEVER, the amount of potassium iodide in iodized salt is so small that you would have to consume 160 tablespoons of salt DAILY to secure the 130 mg/day adult dose for radioactive iodide protection. FDA RECOMMENDED DOSAGE OF POTASSIUM IODIDE FOR RADIOLOGICAL EMERGENCIES: AGE and MG per day Age less than 1 month old ...............16 MG per day Age 1 month - 36 months old .............32 MG per day Age 3 years - 12 years old ..............65 MG per day Age 12 - 18 years who weigh less than 150 pounds ..... 65 MG per day Age 12 - 18 years who weigh more than 150 pounds .....130 MG per day Adults over 18 years old ................ 130 MG per day Pregnant or lactating women take the same adult MG dose as usual. However, it is recommended that they remove themselves from the radioactive risk area as quickly as possible so that they can stop the daily dose as soon as possible. (Well, I think that goes for everybody!) This is to lessen the risk of blocking fetal thyroid function with excess iodine. The FDA does recommend that adults over 40 only take the potassium iodide supplement if the radioactive exposure is relatively high, but I know for myself (I'm over 40) that I would probably accept the risk of side-effects and take the supplement, if adults under 40 are told to take them. The protective effect of a potassium iodide supplement lasts about 24 hours. The dose needs to be taken daily, and at about the same time of day each time. Potassium iodide pills can be split, as needed. The standard dosage period is 10 days. Please note that the 10 day period is based on an important assumption - that 10 days is enough time for evacuation. There are people who live and work in areas contaminated by Chernobyl who have been taking KI supplements for decades. It's not that they are safe from radioactivity, but they are protected from radioactive iodine. SOME NOTES ON AVAILABLE SUPPLEMENTS: Potassium iodide is a supplement, not a drug. It has not been tested or approved by the FDA the way a drug is tested before being sold to the public. Usually, the FDA does not allow supplements to make health claims on their bottles or in their advertising. However, in the public interest, the FDA allows Potassium Iodide to state on its packaging and advertising that it is a "thyroid block", which means it stops the thyroid from uptaking a radioactive iodide (or for other thyroid conditions). There are many brands of potassium iodide (KI) available, and the FDA does not favor one brand above the other. There are supplements, legally sold, with Potassium Iodate instead of iodide. The World Health Organization, allows both potassium iodide and potassium iodate as effective thyroid blocks. However, WHO recommends using iodide if possible because it is easier on the digestive track. That's a good enough recommendation of potassium iodide for me. I think the stress of being affected by nuclear fallout is quite enough; I don't need stomach upset on top of it! The usual shelf life for a potassium iodide supplement is seven years. I just purchased these ioSAT tablets from this desertcart page, shipped and sold by A J Wholesale, and the tablet packets are manufacturer stamped with a 2018 expiration date.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I want to buy it but, when is the expiration date?**
A: I had bought mine the first week of October 2022 and the expiration date I have on mine is 03/2032. The ones with the lot number 22ZEU1 will probably have the same expiration date on them.

**Q: What is the expiration date on packages being sold today? I would like to know before purchase, not after. Thank you.**
A: We ordered this week (09-05-17) and received them today (09-09-17). ALL PACKAGES HAD EXPIRATION OF 09-2022 (2 years shorter than sellers description).

**Q: What is the country of origin?**
A: Williamsburg, VA is where the manufacturer, Anbex, is based. But they are foil-stripped (retail packaged) in South Plainfield, NJ. Every aspect of manufacturing has been U.S. based since FDA-approval in 1982. We, Nukepills, Inc, have been their master distributor since 1999. More information is at 866.283.3986 or at http://www.nukepills.com/potassium-iodide/

**Q: Realistically, is one enough for two people? how long does radiation exposure last after leaving an area? not trying to be cheap- i just am trying to**
A: Potassium iodide protect thyroid gland against nuclear radiations but not directly. Thyroid is avid for iodine so this pills saturate it with good iodine as it can not absorb radioactive iodine (I 131) from contaminated environment in case of nuclear accident or terrorist attak (dirty bomb). The contamination results by releasing of radioactive dust and vapors in the air, water and/or on the surfaces. It's important to protect yourself as soon as possible by leaving the contaminated area and/or use protective equipment.
Don't abuse of Iosat! It could be dangerous in some medical conditions. Please, Google it.
Anyway, potassium iodide is not recomended after age of 40.
