How many mcgs of Iodine are in one drop?
1275833
The Amazon product info now states that this 2% solution contains 2.5mg (250mcg) per vertical drop. A fact sheet from the NIH (National Institutes of Health) states that the RDA for adults is 150 mcg/day and that the safe upper limit is 1100 mcg/day. Here is the link: http://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/Iodine-HealthProfessional/. It also has a list of food sources of iodine and information about health problems associated with too much or too little iodine.

J.Crow's® Lugol's Solution 2% is equivalent to USP standards or higher. This solution delivers 94% distilled water, 4% potassium iodide, and 2% iodine. Drops dispense vertically or horizontally. Each VERTICAL drop is approximately 3.00- 3.125 mg's of iodine/potassium iodide (approximately 1.250 mg iodine, 1.875 mg potassium iodide) and 2 drops is about 6.00-6.25 mg's of iodine/potassium iodide (approximately 2.5 mg iodine, 3.75 mg potassium iodide).

Hmmm, J. Crow's site says for a vertical drop it's 6.25mg iodine for the 5% solution, and about half that for the 2% solution (you can google how much iodine in a drop of lugols and you'll end up there) . I am NO expert here, but I did the math for myself and basically arrived at the same amount this way: the bottle doesn't say, probably because it's not FDA approved. But if you WIKI Lugol's Iodine solution (which is what this is--J. Crow just sells this blend) you end up with a solution that has potassium iodide, iodine and triiodine. according to WIKI - again, check your own sources for accuracy, the 5% solution has 126.5 mg per ml of elemental iodine from all 3 types in solution (that's milligram, NOT microgram- Much stronger). If you go with the 'rule of thumb' of 20 drops in 1 ml, then you have 6.325mg per drop for the 5% solution. For the 2% solution, using a simple ratio, you end up with 2.53mg elemental iodine. since 1000 micrograms are in 1 mg, that's 2530 micrograms per drop for the 2% solution. so again, check your sources, and check my calculations. and anyone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong here. this was all my math, it's not listed on the label. The J. Crow site variance would be expected and is most likely due to them knowing their exact dropper size for their bottles. :) -the quick answer? --- a LOT....lol.

In my experience, one squeeze of the dropper easily fills the tube with 15 of the 20 drops in the dose. Just count.

Yes, it does. The label on the bottle say exactly that each tablet contains "150mcg Iodine (as potassium iodine)". My wife takes these and she says its one of the one of the better multi-vitamins she has used over the years.

Each milliliter is equivalent to 2,000 IU. The product comes with a medicine dropper that accurately measures each dose.

It says "400 IU per 4 drops" so it's 100 IU/drop. It says the "serving size" is 4 drops or 0.112 ml, and there are 60 ml/bottle, so ~535 servings per bottle (2 oz size). It says to take 4 drops 1-5 times a day, so it'll last between 107 and 535 days at those rates, depending on how much you want to take.

Ibought some of this stuff- not from Amazon but from a health store. According to the label on the bottle- 3 drops contain 150 mcg. That's micrograms- that is a tiny dose. This stuff is potassium iodide- watered down, so i won't buy it again.

Not sure how many drops, but I used one bottle for over six months and I gave it to the baby almost every day. We skipped a day here and there.
