Carlyle Lugols Iodine 2 Percent | 2 fl oz (Pack of 1) | Potassium Iodide and Iodine Solution 2% Liquid Drops

Great product, good price

Trusted and effective. Not the best taste but it’s fine.

After a fair amount of online research, I felt there was potential for benefit from an iodine supplement -- possibly great benefit, but almost certainly a little. So much goes on inside our bodies of which we are not aware until it is too late to prevent catastrophic illness that it seems prudent not only to try to eat a balanced diet (which is impossible to identify, thanks to so much conflicting information available, complicated by one's individual physiology), but identify those things which seem likely to be of help in warding off or curing maladies. Research and reason led me to believe that iodine is not only one of those things of help, but very *rare* in its ability to positively impact our health in different ways. I encourage anyone reading this to do his own research. (I also encourage you to carefully consider the sources of information. If people can successfully treat and prevent cancer with simple, inexpensive iodine and/or *baking soda*, doctors, hospitals, and pharmaceutical companies stand to lose *billions of dollars* for treating cancer patients (many of whom are killed by the treatments). Keep this in mind: a far greater percentage of people die of cancer now than a hundred years ago, before chemotherapy and radiation treatments began development. I don't know for sure that the treatment is worse than the disease -- and it might be -- but it's clear that people are at least *getting* cancer at higher rates than ever and there is a fair body of work suggesting that (1) the vast majority of us have iodine-deficient diets (outside of Japan and a few other areas) and (2) there seems to be a correlation between iodine deficiency and malignant cancer rates (which are very low in Japan and a few other areas). Again, there is a lot of information to consider and I strongly encourage you to do your own before making decisions that will affect your health. Reading this review is a start, but don't stop here.) Everything considered, I decided that taking a Lugol's iodine solution is a good, safe bet for me. I decided to try this Carlyle's offering based on potency (2%, as I wanted to start off slowly and have greater flexibility in dosage), availability (same/next day), and price (cheap). The day I got it, I put two (2) drops in about eight (8) ounces of water and drank it. Within hours, I noticed a slight but certain increase in energy to a level that I hadn't felt in years. It felt natural and sustained -- not the short-lived, jittery feeling one gets from a large cup of coffee or some "instant energy" drink that you just *know* will have negative long term effects on your body from having placed your systems in overdrive. That first night, it did take me a couple more hours to get tired enough to sleep, but in the ensuing days I have been able to resume my normal sleep schedule despite taking 2 drops of Lugol's twice or thrice daily and enjoying sustained, natural-feeling energy levels every day. (Note: I am over 60 years old and work on my feet ten (10) hours per day. The difference is real -- and welcome. Noticeable results in you may differ.) Besides using water as a medium, I have put my 2 drops of Lugol's in anywhere from 4 to 12 ounces of apple juice, milk, coffee, and root beer. I have found it unobjectionable in all of the above. When bringing drink to face, I notice the aroma of the iodine before drinking it; frankly it seems unnatural. After all, this is the smell of tincture of iodine (which is alcohol-based, unlike Lugol's) -- the stuff used to disinfect woulds and make them sting. (Who likes the stinging part? I still use it, though, because it WORKS.) The taste is very mild -- and might be unnoticeable if I exhaled at the start. I'll have to try it... but it doesn't bother me in drinking it normally, so it's no big deal if breathing helps or not. Sorry for the meandering review, but though I'm anxious to get back to something pressing, I wanted to share my experience with others in the hope that it will provide them with useful information in providing themselves with better health; I just had to get this out there.

I recently purchased several bottles of this 2% Lugols iodine brand, and I was not extremely impressed with the product’s packaging. I also use the Nascent Iodine form this manufacturer.: The glass bottle & dropper is a nice touch , however one of my bottles arrived with a shattered dropper. Consideration should be given to use of bubble wrap or some sort of protective dunnage for the dropper. It was a bit of a hassle getting it resolved so I’m deducting a star for that. I really wanted a replacement of the dropper but ended up with a refund for the broken unit. The cap seals well, and the bottle is sturdy and not prone to breaking, unlike the dropper during shipping. Iodine is one of the only items that I supplement personally & that’s because I don’t eat seafood as often as I’d like to - iodine is a critical mineral for many metabolic processes. Test, don’t guess. Get your labwork to know what you need to supplement.

Good stuff.... have used Lugol's iodine over the years but never including the potassium. Glad to have it. Super fast shipping and good price.

This product is potent if you're needing to supplement, it's a great value and effective. I had watched some health videos and recommendations on YT regarding the importance for women and started taking a low dose regularly. Then I slacked off a bit when I needed to re-order. And when I became a bit sporadic, I suddenly received a very low TSH reading in my regular blood panel. Meaning my thyroid was inflamed from the seesaw iodine supplementation. And it took months (after stopping altogether) to get my system stable again. Side effects are not fun either. So just a word of warning. Make sure you need this and don't play around or take this half-assed. You can do possibly permanent damage.

Trusted brand name.They've been around for a long time. When you're taking iodine, i'm not going to mess with an unknown brand

It does seem contradictory for a product labeled "for talisman use only" to also include marketing information suggesting it is suitable for consumption, such as being "vegetarian" and manufactured in a GMP certified and FDA registered facility. Here are a few possible explanations for this inconsistency: Regulatory or Liability Reasons: The "for talisman use only" label might be a precautionary measure to avoid regulatory issues or liability. By stating that the product is not intended for internal use, the manufacturer may be trying to protect themselves from potential legal claims or regulatory scrutiny. Mislabeling: There might be an error in labeling. It’s possible that the product was intended for internal use, but due to a mistake, it was labeled as "for talisman use only." Marketing Strategy: The product might be marketed in a way to appeal to both consumers looking for iodine supplements and those interested in alternative uses, such as spiritual practices. However, this dual-purpose marketing can be confusing and misleading. Given this inconsistency, it is important to exercise caution. If you intended to use the product as a dietary supplement, I recommend contacting the manufacturer directly for clarification. They should be able to provide definitive guidance on whether the product is safe for consumption.

A great product. Have used before and very happy with it. Have written on the USA Amazon last year already so shall refrain from doubling up now:) Peace. PS am using for general health and always feel invigorated and well after taking my Lugol's. I am now taking 10 drops a day (of the 2% solution, we can not get the 5% solution apparently, not sure why) and also one Selenium vitamin with it. I take my other vitamins earlier or later during the day, never at the same time as Lugol's. Once every 2 month I take a Lugol rest for 4 days and then start again. Easy to take, doesn't taste bad at all and the health benefits are so many, I think Iodine should be in everyones vitamin cupboard! I also take every morning bicarbonate soda, just 1/4 teaspoon so not too much, to start the day with a alkaline boost. Then after about 10 minutes I have my coffees before going to work. The Lugol Iodine I mostly take late in the afternoon but some may prefer earlier in the day as it can keep you awake a bit.

really like this iodine solution — it’s easy to use with the dropper and makes adding a bit of iodine to my routine simple. It’s a classic Lugol’s formula (2 % iodine plus potassium iodide in distilled water) that many people use to support iodine levels and thyroid wellness.

La verdad muy buena calidad me gustó mucho!! Me dió mucha energía ya baje dosis de levotiroxina.

The bottle contains enough solution to last a long time, and the dropper design makes it very easy to use. I’ve been using it as an iodine supplement, and I’ve noticed a significant boost in my energy levels. It’s also great for supporting skin health and overall immunity. The quality of the product is excellent, and the fact that it doesn’t contain any unnecessary additives is a big plus. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a natural source of iodine. The fast delivery and secure packaging further reinforced my trust in the Carlyle brand.

I am only saying this so that no one else will experience my situation, not to belittle anything. I used this product(one drop one glass water )for four days. In four days, my body became weak and I experienced all kinds of problems, including headaches. What I have now realized is that these supplements that say potassium are just marketing and business to deceive people. No one should use them and do not harm their own body. It should be considered as advice from the person who used them. Thank you, actually this product not use in orealy it's use out side body because it's smell like government hospital quality iodine
