J.CROW'S® Lugol's Solution of Iodine 2% 2 oz (1 Bottle) – Premium Iodine & Potassium Iodide Liquid, Gluten &, Alcohol-Free Natural Brine Extract, No Expiration

I started doing research on why my hands were always so cold, then that led me to why my hair was thinning then to thyroid problems and here I am reviewing iodine. I bought this stuff with high hopes & absolutely no idea how to use it. I got it, put a whole droppers worth in a bottle of water & chugged it. I didn’t taste it at all and honestly didn’t think anything of it until about an hour later and my hands felt…different. I am 41, I live in Alabama & it’s usually pretty warm here. The past year my hands and feet have been alarmingly cold. But if you’re anything like me, you almost don’t want to know what’s wrong with you, so you avoid blood tests all together. I did more research on dosage of iodine, which is very, very difficult to find. Dr. Berg says 2-4 drops but in Japan they take 8-10x that amount (in seaweed & seafood, not supplement) and they have profoundly better health especially in relation to estrogen. Anyway, I now take 4 drops daily and I have noticed an improvement. My brain fog is gone, my hair isn’t as brittle, nails are much stronger, my skin isn’t as crepey on my chest. The heels of my feet are SMOOTH!! My lips aren’t nearly as dry & I don’t feel dead tired all the time. My hands and feet are the same temps as my body & it’s just honestly shocking how big of a difference this stuff has made in my life. My 12 year old son has had eczema all his life & after giving him this (2 drops daily) his legs have cleared up considerably & his face is no longer red. My whole family has benefitted from iodine & I Highly recommend you give it a try too.

My bottle arrived intact and works well. Tastes like the way moth balls smell. Not sure if it's placebo effect but my energy level and mood improved within a few uses. This is not a reflection on the product or seller but I noticed people are taking several drops. I started off with two per day and quickly moved to 3. However, after researching on the net, this is way too much. Perhaps because it's being pushed by influencers and it results in more sales if we go through more product but you can really hurt yourself taking too much. I am going to dial my dosage back to once drop just twice a week. Here's some info I found on the net: Dosing Lugol’s iodine can be rather tricky, because a couple of the thyroid “experts” have recommended as many at 20 drops per day. Let’s do some math, here. If using Lugol’s 2%, there are about 2.5 MILLIGRAMS (mg) of iodine in each drop. The RDA is 150 MICROGRAMs (mcg) per day. How do these 2 compare? Let’s begin with the basics: 1 mg = 1000 mcg; you read that correctly. 1 MILLIGRAM is the same amount as one THOUSAND MICROGRAMS. The recommended daily intake of iodine is 150 mcg, NOT 150 mg. Dosing just 1 drop of Lugol’s 2% provides 2.5 MG of iodine – that is 2500 mcg of iodine PER DROP – meaning that just 1 drop of Lugol’s 2% iodine provides a dose nearly 17 TIMES the recommended daily allowance. Now remember when I mentioned that some experts have published recommendations to take up to 20 drops per day??? Taken over weeks to months to years, this CAN result in overdosing of iodine, which CAN and DOES impact thyroid health, and can contribute to multiple problems including thyroid damage and liver stress.

Took longer to get here, but this works great!

Seems good so far! I’ve ordered this multiple times in the past, mostly for thyroid health. I put 3-5 drops in my coffee daily, or when I remember to!

I’m giving this five stars just so you will see it. I never thought to look at the one-star reviews. —There are no directions on the bottle. It says for talisman only… which you will not see until you somehow managed to get the tightly wrapped bubble wrap off the bottle. There are no markings on the dropper or any indication of how many drops to use. No indication of when it was manufactured or if there is an expiration date. And the icing on the cake ? If you try to contact Amazon, you can’t. Not returnable.—I suggest you look at the one-star reviews. It never occurred to me to look there.
