FAQs:
1. What is the number of mg’s of Iodine and Iodide per drop of Lugol’s 2%?
One vertical drop of Lugol’s 2% = 1/20ml, approximately 1mg iodine and 2mg potassium iodide. The iodide portion of potassium iodide is about 75% = ~1.5mg.
Total iodine + iodide = 1mg + 1.5mg = 2.5mg
Two vertical drops is about 5mg (iodine 2mg + iodide 3mg)
2. What are its usages?
Some of the usages are: Making purified water by adding 3-6 drops per liter of water or for topical use (skin). For skin, make sure to mix Lugol’s with oil e.g. coconut oil before applying it on your skin so that it will stink less/none. Else it will stink REAL bad. 😛
3. How do I store Lugol’s Solution of Iodine?
Store at room temperature away from direct sunlight. Refrigeration is not needed. The most important thing is to keep the bottle upright. Storage condition may affect the quality of the dropper due to its natural rubber characteristic.
Personally, I place mine on the table (not enclosed in a cabinet as sometimes, it will stain the cabinet).
4. Can I consume the solution directly?
No. Please mix the solution with an acidic liquid. You can mix in water with apple cider vinegar, smoothie, coffee, tea, etc.
5. I am having difficulty opening the tamper-evident dropper cap. What can I do about it?
Run the cap under hot running water/soak the cap part in hot water for 10-30 seconds. Try a few more times if it’s still not able to open.
6. My dropper is depressed/malformed/disfigured/hardened. Can I still use it?
Due to the temperature and pressure during shipping, storage method/conditions/time and as well as the characteristics of iodine which is a corrosive halogen & drying agent, the natural rubber dropper can dry out.
The answer depends. If the dropper is able to produce a single drop, then you can still use it.
7. Why do some bottles have lesser volume than the others?
Due to evaporation, the solution in the bottle may be reduced in volume. If so, you may add a little distilled water.
8. The solution stained my clothes, etc. How do I clean it?
No worry. Usually, the stain will disappear within a few hours or a few days.
*Note: The Lugol’s solution of iodine may vary slightly in color and volume due to storage conditions, temperature, etc. The rubber dropper holder may sometimes come a little slanted. The dropper will still perform as is.
