What it is

Lugol's Iodine (2%) is a thyroid & iodine supplement. Lugol's 2% solution provides both molecular iodine and potassium iodide for thyroid and whole-body iodine support. Used in adult dosing protocols in India and internationally, it is sold as a single-ingredient supplement.

How it works

Iodide supports thyroid hormone synthesis while molecular iodine is taken up by breast and other tissues; the combined form covers both compartments. Effects are dose-dependent and typically measurable within 2-6 weeks.

Who should take it

Adults with low iodine seeking a traditional combined iodine/iodide source.

Avoid / careful

Easy to overdose drops — titrate carefully and test. Caution in Hashimoto's and hyperthyroidism; excess iodine harms the thyroid. Avoid in pregnancy without oversight.
