"What is the difference between KIO3™ (Potassium Iodate)... |
| BOTH KI03™ (Potassium Iodate) & KI ARE THYROID BLOCKERS. They will both do the same job for adult users. However, there are some subtle but important differences: According to chemical manufacturers of the base chemicals of KIO3 and KI: KIO3™ has a health risk of "1" (slight) KI has a health risk of "2" (moderate) (Either of these are preferred over Radioactive Iodine from Nuclear Fallout.) KIO3 is not bitter, which means that children can take KIO3 with less difficulty than KI. This is extremely important: If children are the most susceptible to the harmful effects of Radioactive Iodine, then the possibility of children not able to take the pills or tablets or keep them down is dangerous. For this reason, we ask those of you who have children to purchase KIO3 instead of KI. The expected shelf life of KIO3 is greater than that of KI. Both supplies or stockpiles should be rotated every 5 years, and every 3 years rotation is recommended for KI. Please note that Rad Block provides small coated tablets overcome typical KI bitterness when dosing children 3-12 years old with single whole tablet.
