5.0 out of 5 stars Supplement that saves lives, August 22, 2008

By	DFW Chick (TEXAS) - See all my reviews

Iodoral was recommended to me by my doctor. My headaches went away, it stopped my dry itchy skin in its tracks, turgor improved dramatically, and carb cravings just disappeared. My fingernails quit splitting & cracking and are now beautiful and long. I could go on & on, but this is a life saving addition to your vitamin regimen. Do your own research and try it for yourself. Start off slowly over about 4-6wk period. 1 pill, then 1/2, then 2, etc., until you are taking 2pills in the am and 2 pills in the pm. For very little money, it will be the best investment in your health that you will ever make.

4.0 out of 5 stars Only Because We're Unable to Get Lugol's Solution, July 26, 2008

By	Chris (Montreal, QC) - See all my reviews

This is a great substitute for getting around the unavailability of Lugol's solution in Canada and the US. Of course it is far more expensive than the Lugol's would be, but have you ever tried to actually buy undiluted Lugol's iodine? It's essentially been limited to prescription only by all the laws controlling iodine concentrations. For instance at one of the best health food and supplement stores in Vancouver (the most self-consciously health-minded city in Canada) it was only possible to buy 'Liquid Iodine', which is a heavily diluted form of Lugol's soution. If your aim is to to consume two drops of Lugol's solution--which is one tablet of Iodoral--then you would have to somehow consume 83 drops or 2 mL of that product! That would be an impossible to drink disgusting brown concoction.

If Lugol's iodine was ever legally marketed, then Iodoral would be pointless and over-priced. But in our current legal and regulatory climate, this product is one of the best choices if you want to increase your iodine intake to levels found among the Japanese without sharing the Japanese diet.

Update (Jan, 2009): While Lugol solution is still a difficult to find product in Canada and essentially not purchaseable from vitamin stores, I have noticed that Aquatics & Aquarium supply stores sell it as a disinfecting agent for a low price, and might be a viable alternative to purchasing Iodoral.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Product!, July 19, 2008

By	L. A. "www.natural-harmonies.com" (Milwaukee, WI) - See all my reviews

This is a great product and for the price, a great value. This is a wonderful alternative to lugol's solution if you want to take pill form. This product is easy to dose and convert from lugol's liquid formula. Please remember, this product should be taken under supervision of a trained professional.
