does this product actually list how much iodine it delivers? that's questionable if it doesn't

The source of the iodine is potassium iodide and each capsule contains 225 mcg. (That's micrograms. The government says we need only 150 mcg. a day.) Because I can't take the Thyroid Energy (I'm allergic to 1 ingredient in the capsule) I now take just iodine from kelp so it's food form and I don't worry about overdoing that. I take several 150 mcg. tablets a day. Both products are made by NOW.

How many tablets are recommended per day? two or four? I understand should be 2 per day. Please advise

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.

The label indicates it does and gives the percentages. Personally I also take a separate Omega 3 supplement even though recent research indicates it may be of dubious benefit.

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.

The bottle states 150 mcg or 0.15 mg per drop of Iodine (as potassium iodide).

Hi. I honestly can't remember. And I finished it sometime ago, or I'd look at the bottle and tell you. I do remember liking the product. And having no problems with it. I moved on to another spray product that gives 5,000 IU per spray. But, I'm not sure it works as well. Hope that helps!

The bottle states "Electrified aqueous Iodine (1%). Approx. 600 mcg per drop."

Yes, it does. It's listed as the third ingredient, so there is quite a substantial amount I would assume.

The bottle does not indicate that it contains iodine, BUT I wouldn't leave it at that if I was you. The website the bottle refers you to is drsinatra.com I would ask them this question, especially if there is an allergy involved.

I have the package in front of me Roberta. It states "This salt does NOT supply iodide, a necessary nutrient".... There is nothing that talks about iodine.

The label indicates 1,000 IU per drop, not per dropper. I need 3,000 IU's per day and just gently drop three drops onto my tongue each morning. Seems to do the trick and maintain my D levels in the normal range. This is not a water soiuble vitamin which means you don't pee it out, so it's important to be careful not to take too much.

You can get the supplement facts off of their website. I believe there are a number of people who distribute this product. I'm not sure why they didn't put that info on the listing

Yes, iodine is listed fourth from the end of about thirty ingredients. Hmmm.... Is iodine bad for cats in general or cats with certain conditions? I am giving it to my cats. I will have to check and would be interested if someone else including the poser of the original question knows.

none is added to it, as a natural salt it has a small bit, not enough to replace a low iodine issuebrett

As a vegetarian, I never thought to ask that question. Ugh. That said, this is probably the best on the market and I would recommend it for sure. I guess you could email the seller and ask but I just assumed that the iodine came from the crystal form after watching videos on youtube. Let me know if you find out otherwise. There are other ones on this market that I have purchased and they are not what they say they are. Based on the strength of this, I would say it is the real deal. Remember, 2 and 5% is legit. For 7%, you need a 'script I think in all states so it can't be sold on the open market. Just saying when you are looking around. As a vegetarian, I never thought to ask that question. Ugh.

In answer to your question, I just checked my bottle and there in no direct info about how much "kelp" is in the bottle... It just says Iodine(as Norwegian Kelp) 225mcg 150%
