We measure by mg's (not mcg).Calculating Number of MG's of Iodine and Potassium Iodide per Drop of Lugol's Solution:LUGOL'S 5%: Each VERTICAL drop is about 6.25 mg's of iodine/potassium iodide (2.5 mg iodine, 3.75 mg potassium iodide) and 2 drops is about 12.50 mg's of iodine/potassium iodide (5.0 mg iodine, 7.50 mg potassium iodide). Compared to iodine and potassium iodide tablets, J.CROW'S Lugol's Solution offers big savings.LUGOL'S 2%: Slightly less than 1/2 half the above measurements.

5% solution is 6.25mg per vertical drop of iodine....so that is 6250mcg. You can find out this info on the J. Crow website.

If you're using milligrams to measure, you're way to high. This should be weighed in micrograms. 1 mcg is 40 IU's. So take the number of mcg and multiply by 40 and that gives you the IU. I go for 25,000 IU twice per day, so that is 625 micrograms or .625 milligrams. For 50,000 IU, it would be 1.25 milligrams, however I have a condition where I do not absorb fat soluble vitamins effectively, so I take large quantities. I would not take anything over 50k IU tho.

Unfortunately it's impossible to really know how much because it varies. I ordered some V-caps and fill those with kelp powder and then take 2 a day for two weeks and then take two weeks off. Hopefully that's enough iodine but I really have no idea.

J.Crow's® Lugol's Solution 2% is equivalent to USP standards or higher. This solution delivers 94% distilled water, 4% potassium iodide, and 2% iodine. Drops dispense vertically or horizontally. Each VERTICAL drop is approximately 3.00- 3.125 mg's of iodine/potassium iodide (approximately 1.250 mg iodine, 1.875 mg potassium iodide) and 2 drops is about 6.00-6.25 mg's of iodine/potassium iodide (approximately 2.5 mg iodine, 3.75 mg potassium iodide).

Leslie L, I have this info from one of my many favorites,.... "80 gm. of potassium iodine (KI) is added to 4,000 ml of distilled water (roughly 4,000 gm). After fully dissolving, 40 gm. of iodine crystal is added. After the iodine crystal fully dissolves (which takes several hours), the product is packaged and stored" Wherever these crystals come from it didn't explain that part but no where in all my extensive research has it mentioned allergic reactions to people who can't eat shellfish.

the answer to that question is on the back of the bottle -- total iodine/iodide -- 12.5 mg; iodine 5 mg; iodide 7.5 mg

Sorry, I don't know, but it is 15 mcg per tablets, whichever it is, it is working for me.

The container says Serving size is 1/4 tsp. and that gives you 2260% your daily value of iodine.

After some heavy math...lol...you are getting: 2694 micrograms which equals 2.694 milligrams per serving/6 drops. For adults older than 19 (including pregnant and breastfeeding): 1,100 mcg/ 1.1 milligrams per day is the recommended daily amount. Info from: 2014 University of Maryland Medical Center. 269.4 milligrams per bottle or 100 servings. Hope this helps.

I take 4 drops per day. One drop is 5.2 mg of Iodine in 5 percent Lugol's. There are about 500 drops in a 1 ounce bottle. That's about 4 months for me.

There is no iodine listed on the label. There are 420 mgs. of sodium per teaspoon. You can probably call them. The importer name is: Source Atlantique, Inc., Englewood Cliffs, NJ 07632. Good luck.

Good question- 150 mcg is a tiny dose. I wouldn't buy this product because of its dilution. I can add my own water if I want a diluted product.

It has 12.5 mg total iodine/iodide. 5mg in the iodine form and 7.5mg in the iodide (as the potassium salt)

Hi Maria,Yes the wording is correct 1mg. If you check other B12 products they are noted in mcg, not mg, so you will see values like 800mcg, 500mcg etc, in that case you have to note this product is 1000 mcg. There are products showing 5000mcg, which is 5mg however if they are not MethylCobalamine then your body will not absorb them so they are basically pointless. B12 is not like vitamin C, or D its only required in low quantities. I hope this helps clarify
