Radiation Blocker

The element iodine blocks the thyroid's absorption of cancer-causing radioactive iodine released from a nuclear reactor, spills or nuclear bomb. Ready.gov recommends potassium iodide.[1]

Remember, children are extremely susceptible to radiation.

3 points to consider about Potassium Iodide

1) FDA testing and approval is vital for protection of your family. IOSAT™ Potassium Iodide is the only foil-sealed, full strength brand tested and approved by the FDA for radiation emergencies. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) authorized IOSAT™ to be sold without a prescription since 1982 while certifying its quality and effectiveness by continually inspecting and mandating packaging, the manufacturer's facility, the purity and grade of incoming raw ingredients, the excipients used in production and the final outgoing product. Excipients are ingredients added to an active drug substance which significantly affect the finished product quality. Types of excipients include binders (which bind all ingredients together) and disintegrants, which are added to aid in dissolving in your stomach. This is especially important for products like Potassium Iodide where rapid release of iodine is required. (FYI - Rad Block, No-Rad, Pro KI and Potassium IodATE [different spelling, different drug] are not approved by the FDA for radiation emergencies). This is a one shot deal. No second chances. FDA testing and approval means you know what you are getting.

2) Foil Packaging Maximizes Shelf Life. Potassium Iodide (chemical abbr. is KI) is sensitive to moisture in the air and becomes unstable if exposed to the least amount of humidity. Potassium Iodide that is stored in a bottle and opened daily to dispense will immediately start to degrade. There goes all your Potassium Iodide just when you need it most! That's why each IOSAT Potassium Iodide KI pill is individually foil-sealed to ensure product integrity, maximum shelf-life and ease of distribution. Obtaining multiple packs of IOSAT allows you to store full dosages in multiple locations where needed, like your home, office, purse, etc. And each pill can be separated from the rest (they're perforated) and kept in its sealed foil to store in a wallet, child's backpack, etc. Note: Claimed expiration dates of drugs mean nothing if they can't be substantiated by the FDA. The FDA guaranteed expiration date of IOSAT™ is 5 years.

3) Don't buy too much. One pack of IOSAT (14 pills) is the FDA recommendation for one person. Taking more may lead to an increased risk of hypothyroidism. Potassium Iodide should be taken each day you are exposed to radioactive iodine released from a nuclear plant or nuclear bomb. Chances are you would not use up all 14 pills in a single radiation emergency. The winds that brought the radioactive iodine plume into your area would have likely blown it away by then and you would have hopefully evacuated the affected area if directed to do so by health officials. If you are exposed for two days you take just two pills (one pill a day) and then stop, saving the remaining foil-sealed pills for future needs. Use only as directed by state or local health authorities in the event of a radiation emergency. If you were inhaling or ingesting radioactive iodine for a day or two or fourteen, wouldn't you want to take an FDA-Approved, individually foil-sealed, FRESH pill every day?
