Created by French physician Jean Lugol in 1829. The most widely used form of iodine in the protocol.
Lugol's is a deep reddish-brown liquid with a bleach-like smell (similar to pool water). It contains two forms of iodine dissolved in water, providing both the forms our body needs.
Two iodine atoms bonded together. Used by breast, ovary, and prostate tissues.
Iodine bonded with potassium. Preferred by the thyroid gland.
The carrier. The ratio is 1 part iodine to 2 parts potassium iodide.
Different body systems utilize iodine differently. The thyroid prefers potassium iodide, while breast, ovary, and prostate tissues appear to prefer elemental iodine (I2). Lugol's provides both, covering the whole body's needs.
Lugol's comes in various concentrations. The percentage indicates how concentrated the solution is.
Approximately 2.5mg of iodine per drop. The most commonly recommended strength for those starting the low and slow approach. Easier to control dosage with small increments.
Approximately 6.25mg per drop. Jean Lugol's original 1829 formulation. More concentrated — fewer drops needed but harder to fine-tune dosage.
Lugol's isn't the only option. Compare all forms to find the best fit.
