Technical Details of Potassium Iodide Tablets

Radioactive iodine (I-131) is a significant component in the fallout produced by nuclear accidents, detonations, or reactor meltdowns.

Once ingested or inhaled, I-131 accumulates in the body’s thyroid gland—where it can cause mutation and, eventually, thyroid cancer. Potassium Iodide tablets are a proactive solution to protect yourself from I-131 by preventing absorption in the first place.

Tablets should be taken immediately upon finding out you’re at risk of potential exposure. Each dose provides 24 hours of protection, and each bottle contains 60 x 65mg tablets (dosing instructions below).

Since nearly two-thirds of Americans live within 50 miles of an active nuclear reactor, MIRA Safety recommends Potassium Iodide tablets for every household. Thyroid protection is vital for younger family members.

NOTE: The risk of developing thyroid cancer from I-131 exposure reduces with age, while the likelihood of experiencing side effects increases. Exercise caution if taking these supplements over the age of 40.
