Is
Potassium Iodide safe for me and my children?
It's perfectly safe and has been used for decades by civilians and
military
personnel with no ill side-effects. It can be taken by children of
any age.
A complete FDA guidance information sheet is included with every order.
How
much do I take and when do I take it?
Adults take 2 tablets a day only during radiation exposure. Children
3 to 18 years old
(<155lbs) should take 1 tablet per day, age 1 month to 3 years
take 1/2 tablet per
day and birth through 1 month take 1/4 tablet.
What
is Potassium Iodide and how does it work?
Radioactive Iodine (radioiodine) is produced in nuclear explosions
and comes down in
fallout. If inhaled or ingested, it resides in the thyroid gland increasing
a risk of cancer.
Potassium Iodide harmlessly saturates the thyroid, blocking absorption
of radioiodine.
Is this the same as Potassium Iodate?
THE ONLY FORM
EVER APPROVED BY THE FDA,
Potassium Iodide as found in Pro-KI is recommended over
Potassium Iodate by the World Health Organization because the
Iodate form can cause gastro intestinal irritation and discomfort.
Does ProKI have an expiration date
and how old is it?
This batch of Pro-KI was manufactured in 7/2002, That's less than
1 month old, and guarantees you the freshest supply available anywhere.
Expires in 7/2007, although if kept under proper conditions,
Pro-KI could last significantly longer.
