Defend Your Body
AN ESSENTIAL IN ANY PREPAREDNESS PLAN FOR NUCLEAR EVENTS.
Potassium Iodide (KI) is a thyroid blocker. During a radiation emergency, radioactive iodine may be released into the environment and enter the body through breathing or eating. Radioactive Iodine (I-131) can destroy the thyroids of humans and animals. Even small amounts of I-131 can cause cancer of the thyroid. By taking KI, the thyroid becomes saturated with "good iodine."
How KI Protects the Thyroid
KI and radioactive iodine are both types of iodine. According to the CDC, they are both absorbed by the thyroid. For KI to work, a person must take it before or shortly after exposure to radioactive iodine. When a person takes the right amount of KI at the right time, it can help block the thyroid from absorbing radioactive iodine. This happens because the thyroid has already absorbed the KI, and there is no room to absorb the radioactive iodine.
