KIO3 – 6 Pack 170mg Tablet, 60 Tablets

KIO3 vs KI – Which one is best for YOU?

(Expire Date 12/2031)

The difference is KIO3 already has an oxygen molecule. It’s already oxidized so it doesn’t need to oxidize as KI Potassium Iodide would do. KIO3 is as stable as it can get. It has a shelf life of years if not decades. Thus so stable we don’t know what the longest shelf life is.

KI Potassium Iodide is extremely bitter about 6% of the population will throw it up. Therefore, KI has a shorter shelf life; it attracts water and will cook out.  KIO3 is heat stable and will not cook out the iodine like KI will do. KIO3 is used by the rest of the World while KI is mostly used in the United States.

What is KIO3 Potassium Iodate used for?

Potassium Iodate tablets generally come in handy when there’s a nuclear emergency.  KIO3 tablets can stop the thyroid gland from harmful radioactive iodine.  Radioactive Iodine can be especially dangerous to babies and children following a nuclear disaster.

To prevent this from happening you can take Potassium Iodide or Potassium Iodate, which would saturate the thyroid with safe iodine and prevent it from absorbing the radioactive alternative. If you don’t have KIO3 or KI at the time of an event it’s most likely too late unless authorities can reach you with a proper dose.
