what color is this and can i use this to test for iodine deficiency?

It is a pale yellow color and NO it cannot be used to test for a deficiency.

I used regular iodine on my arm to check for a deficiency. I never used this product I threw it out because they didn't provide instructions.

I think you can. Just be aware it really tastes bad and the dropper i got was not working... very cheap rubber...

It is yellowish brown and you and do a skin test by putting the solution on your forearm on the underside. If it disappears within a certain number of hours then you are deficient. Please do your homework. Dr. Brownstein and Dr. Flechas have done much research on this. They know the protocol. The skin test is sort of a shotgun test and there are more accurate tests but I've tried it and it worked for me.

150 mcg of iodine ( as potassium iodide ) per 1 drop no other indications on the bottle

Well it's only blue litmus paper, which will turn red in the presence of an acid, so no chart really necessary...maybe you are thinking of pH paper that changes several different colors?

The box has "Blue" appended to the name, but the canister of strips (that I always receive) inside the box only says One Touch Ultra Test Strips (no "Blue"). I have never had a problem with what you noted, that is, the box says "Blue" but that color is not noted anywhere else. Good point, but I would not worry. If they do not work in your device, I am sure you can obtain a refund. Again, I have never had a problem with this same issue.

The label states: Iodine-7%; Potassium Iodide-5%; Alcohol-85%....nothing about provodine

No iodine is listed on the label, only 420 mg sodium. Label also says it is not a significant source of Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Calcium and Iron. Sorry that I couldn't be of more help. Perhaps the importer, Source Atlantique Inc. of Englewood Cliffs, N.J. can be of more help.

Make sure you have a working battery and the correct strips. Sometimes a code will show which may indicate you don't have enough blood for the sample. These are just some suggestions.

I do not know it this product is tested for radiation and pesticide residue. I suggest you contact Great Eastern Sun, in Asheville, NC at customersvc@great-eastern-sun.com or www.great-eastern-sun.com or call at 828 665 7790. I have used the product for several years and enjoy it so much. Consuming several sheets of this a day has helped my hypothyroidism greatly.

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.

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.

I used the product for couple of months for the iodine benefits. The taste wasnt very good, it was like ground, but i didnt mind it cause i cared about the iodine. However all changed when i recently received my results for the toxic metals exposure based on urine measurements with chelation agents (probably the best available test on planet earth). To my disbelief i had arsenic!? I am pretty health oriented and it first sounded impossible but when i looked at the list with potential arsenic exposures as provided in the test results, i saw the organic kelp was standing there....

No one item alone will positively identify a colored gemstone since many synthetics have the same optical, chemical, and physical properties of natural stones. Generally, it is a combination of different instruments that help in identification, and then that needs to be coupled with experience in separating some synthetics from natural. A refractometer will give you the refractive index of a gemstone, and in some cases that can serve as a positive ID if no true synthetic has been produced for that particular stone. But even then, the r.i. of some gemstones overlap each other, as well as being the same color, which makes other testing necessary.

Only use sodium chloride (NaCi) salt that is at least 99.8% pure. No iodine or yellow. Check with a local pool supply, grocery, or hardware store

Here's what it says on the container I just received: Vitamin E, Lanolin, Aloe, Mineral Oil, Vegetable Oil and other Essential Ingredients enriched with FORMULA 291BOn ALL the other BDBB containers it lists "Hormones" this one doesn't. Also on Youtube they show the product as a reddish pink color, this one is blue. I don't think they are being honest about all the ingredients inside this jar because it doesn't list the product color. For this to be as blue as it is there is definitely some kind of dye blended in this grease. I just hope it works!

Mine was a light purple. Went to the doctor and tested positive with their test. You must be a little positive due to the color.

The label does not indicate iodine in the short list of ingredients, although it does refer to a "proprietary blend" of Red Marine Algae. Unless the different algae used in the "proprietary blend" contain iodine in their natural state, my supposition is that this product does not contain iodine.
