Potassium Iodide (pill) will provide radiation protection in a nuclear disaster. A high percentage of radioactive fallout is in the form of radioactive iodine. When a cloud of radioactive iodine passes through a populated area, the thyroid glands of those individuals exposed to the radiation concentrates the radioactive iodine. The result is irreparable damage to the thyroid, which can lead to cancer.

Maintaining a supply of potassium iodide is one of the least expensive, simplest steps you can take to protect yourself and your family against the long-term consequences of exposure to radiation. Potassium iodide provides enough safe iodine to completely fill the thyroid's binding sites, blocking any radioactive iodine from binding there. There is no other way to so quickly and completely protect the thyroid gland, which is one of the organs most commonly damaged by radioactive fallout.

Life Extension has developed a potassium iodide supplement that contains 130 milligrams of potassium iodide, the dosage widely recommended for the blocking of radioactive iodine and providing radiation protection in the event of a nuclear disaster. Tablets are scored for easy breakage in the case of any need for dosages smaller than 130 mg.

Since the shelf life of this product is virtually unlimited, you will only have to buy it once.
