Potassium iodide 99.9% very pure, USP, BP, EP, FCC 2.5 Kilogram

Potassium iodide is a chemical connection that consists of potassium (K) and iodine (i). It is often used in various applications, including medicine, nutritional supplements and industrial processes. In medicine, potassium iodide is mainly used as a source of iodine. Iodine is an essential mineral that is needed for the production of thyroid hormones. These hormones are crucial for healthy thyroid function and play an important role in the regulation of metabolism. Potassium iodide can be prescribed to patients with a shortage of iodine, such as thyroid disorders or during pregnancy. In addition, potassium iodide is also used as a protective measure against the effects of radioactive radiation. It can be taken before or after exposure to radioactive iodine to reduce the absorption of this harmful element by the thyroid gland. This is especially important in emergency situations such as nuclear accidents or in the treatment of certain forms of thyroid cancer. Safety instructions with regard to potassium iodide are of great importance. Although it is generally considered safe, there are some precautions that must be taken. Firstly, potassium iodide must only be taken under medical supervision, especially with long -term use or at high doses. Excessive intake can lead to side effects such as stomach complaints, rash, headache and an increased heartbeat. In addition, people with certain medical conditions, such as kidney problems or an overactive thyroid gland, must be careful when using potassium iodide. It is important to consult a doctor before taking this supplement, especially if you are already using other medicines. Finally, potassium iodide must be stored safely. It must be stored in a cool, dry place, out of the reach of children and pets. It is also important to check the expiry date and to throw expired products away. In short, potassium iodide is an important connection that is used in medicine and other applications. It is mainly used as a source of iodine and as protection against radioactive radiation. However, it is essential to follow the safety instructions and to obtain medical advice before using potassium iodide.
