Not sure if you're asking for more information than what's on the bottle....? 4 drops is 0.25 ml and comes out to 150mcg of iodine. Hope that helps.

150 mcg is the standardized dose of this product. This is four drops to get 150mcg. This is the Us RDA for iodine. Please note that this RDA is absurdly low. A remedial dose for those experiencing hypothyroidism is 10 to 20 times that amount. Recommend taking this product with raw dessicated bovine thyroid and adrenal gland, avoid stimulants and stress and go to bed before 10:30pm. Healing takes 3 to 12 months

I am not quite sure, but I take 3 drops a day which seems right for me. You have to find the right dose for you...Start less and let how you are feeling be your guide. But never take more than the bottle suggests...

It's in liquid form and you use a dropper to measure out your portions. Recommended serving is .5 ml which is 1000 IU, but the dropper can "grab" from .25 ml to 1 ml at a time.

I don't think it's necessary to think in terms of percentages. I don't know the percentage. What I do know is that since the body requires very little iodine for a sufficient dose (micrograms), I know I am getting more than enough with this product. Since it comes in a form more easily assimilated by the body, I know I am doing something go for myself by taking it. I didn't have an answer for your question but I hope this helps you and others.

It is hard, if not impossible, to tell how many IU's are in each capsule as the label does not contain that information. A therapeutic dose is said to be 10 capsules a day. Because of the cost of taking capsules, some folks opt to take one tsp a day of the liquid. It is best to take the cod liver oil/butter oil blend to get the Vit K2 needed to activate the other oil soluble vitamins like A & D.

No, they are not. This is 125 mcg and Iodoral is 12.5 mg. Because of the price of Iodoral I have switched to IThroid. It is 12.5mg of total iodine. If you have any questions about the product I would call the company. I couldn't find a phone # on the label, but I'm sure you can google it. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

There are 1000 mg per 2 ounce container. Divided by 2 = 500 mg per ounce. Ultimately, for every 1/4 teaspoon there should be 21 mg. All things being equal and if each measurement is measured accurately, this comes to 47.6 doses per container. I hope this helps in some way for you.

The bottle says 5 drops per serving which might mean teaspoon. I personally use 7-8 drops for a large cup of Keurig type coffee.

I seem to recall that the bottle recommends 3 - 5 drops per day, so it can vary. If this helps any....I experienced no real effect from this product and my wife had an unpleasant reaction. I know that's not what you are asking about, but I thought you may want this information.

Hello Richard P. Each tab contains 200mcg of iodine and 250 tabs per bottle.

Yes, just discovered there an advantage to using the 5% instead of just twice as much 2%. Reason would only be if using topically (vs orally).- I am noticing that only so much Iodine gets absorbed into certain infections, so a 5% strength will be more potent.

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.

Great information! Thank you so much for that. So everyone knows, the suggested dosage is 40 drops. If we use the dilution as suggested here, then a person would want to take that with approximately 16 ounces of water. Not a totally unreasonable amount to drink in one sitting but I think most people would probably want to break that up into two 8 ounces drinks with 20 drops each.

You are right: It is not shown on the bottle. I know I like it very much and I have a 5% Lugol's iodine and it says on the bottle total iodine 6.25mg per one drop which is 4096% of % DV. Where the nascent is about 2.7 mg per 6 drops (1796%DV). I think because it is a different kind of iodine (elemental), it is difficult to compare it to the iodine/potassium iodide. I hope this helps. Best wishes.

As it says on the outside label, it's one mg per drop and there are 80 drops in the container. So, if you take a small dose, it lasts a long time, but if you are up to 5-15 mg 2 times a day it lasts only a short time. I think this is a good choice if you are just starting out with K4, but if you need higher doses, there are cheaper alternatives.

Dr. Brownstein's book "Iodine, why you need it,why you can't live without it" says "two drops of Lugols' solution (0.1ml) contains 5mg of iodine and 7.5 mg of iodide. Iodide is the reduced form of iodine which contains an extra electron". Different parts of the body require different forms of iodine.

Bottle says serving size 4 drops, servings per container @ 535. Per doctors orders my boys use 1 full dropper( 8 years old) and 1/2 dropper (5 years old). Your use is based on use and weight. Our use triples if they are ill. This is the best choice for your money, I love this product!!

I use 4 drops either on my food, in my coffee or tea. It's "drops," not droppers. I have used this product for a sluggish thyroid for the last 3 years and find that it works for me.
