Potassium Iodide for Thyroid Gland
Potassium iodide is essential for the thyroid gland to function properly. It is an essential supplement that can help improve your thyroid health and overall well-being. This chemical compound helps to prevent the thyroid gland from absorbing harmful radioactive iodine, which could otherwise lead to injury. Taking potassium iodide prior to exposure can help ensure that your thyroid remains healthy and functioning properly.*
Caution
The iodine helps to block the uptake of radioactivity into the thyroid gland, which is especially susceptible to radiation. This can help reduce the risk of developing thyroid cancer. But be sure to take it only as directed- not as a daily supplement. Taking too much iodine can cause some serious side effects, so it's important to follow the directions on the label carefully. Be sure to take it only as directed—not as a daily supplement.*
