Question 1

Is the product formulated with ingredients that are mercury free and do not come from China or India?

Accepted Answer

The label nor the insert pamphlet state whether it is manufacturer in China or India. It only states that it is manufacturer for Optimox Corporation, Torrance, CA 90510-3378- www.optimox.xom 1(800)223-1601

Question 2

The last I bought was about $35. for 180 tablets. Now $165--WHY?

Accepted Answer

Optimox doesn't even carry Iodoral/sell Iodoral on their own website any longer without any explanation. Something shady is going on. I was able to buy a 180 count bottle from Lucky Vitamin for $37.99.

Question 3

Are the ingredients natural or synthetic?

Accepted Answer

Iodoral is all natural and contain only two ingredients both iodine -based. They are Iodine and Potassium Iodide. Numerous studies show that iodine deficiency leads to hypothyroidism;  an increase in iodine usually soothes the problem. Iodine must be paired with Vitamin A to actually work within the thyroid properly. You can take Iodoral until your thyroid functions normally.  Iodine cures hypothyroidism a leading cause of weight gain. I hope I have answered your question.

Question 4

I am curious why anyone would buy this when you can get J.CROW'SÂ® Lugol's Solution of Iodine 1/3 the cost?

Accepted Answer

I use J.Crow's because it is approved for cancer patients by the Gerson Cancer Institute and it contains just distilled water, Potassium Iodide and Iodine. It is sourced from "mined crystals from 320 million year old natural brine deposits two miles beneath the earth's surface in Western USA (one of the few places in the world where such deposits exist). Not made from shellfish. The water used is distilled, pure, spring water. Always fresh. Does not expire."
 Their website says:
"Calculating Number of MG's of Iodine and Iodide per Drop of LUGOL'S 2%: Each VERTICAL "metric" drop (= 1/20ml) is approximately1.0 mg of iodine and 2.0 mg of potassium iodide. The Iodide portion of Potassium Iodide is about 75% so that is 1.5 mg. Therefore the total Iodine plus Iodide is 1.0 + 1.5 = 2.5 mg  and 2 drops is about 5.0 mg's of iodine/iodide (2.0 mg iodine, 3.0 mg iodide). "
