Potassium Iodide Powder

Description

Potassium iodide (KI) is a chemical compound, medication, and dietary supplement. It serves several important purposes: Thyroid Protection in Radiation Emergencies: During a nuclear emergency, radioactive iodine may be released into the air. KI helps protect the thyroid gland by preventing it from absorbing radioactive iodine. It is recommended for use in radiation emergencies despite potential risks during pregnancy. Dietary Supplement: KI is used as a nutritional supplement in animal feeds and human diets. It is commonly added to table salt to prevent iodine deficiency in populations with limited seafood consumption.
