What’s in every capsule: molecular iodine and potassium iodide, the Lugol’s formula
- Iodine · 12.5 mg (8,333% DV) — made with molecular (elemental) iodine and potassium iodide, the two forms in the classic Lugol’s formula.
- Capsule and other ingredients — a vegetable (cellulose) capsule colored green with sodium copper chlorophyllin, plus microcrystalline cellulose (a plant-fiber filler) and two flow aids, silica and magnesium stearate.
Adults: up to 1 capsule a day, unless your healthcare practitioner directs otherwise. One capsule has 12.5 mg (12,500 mcg) of iodine, more than 11 times the adult upper limit of 1,100 mcg a day from food and supplements combined.

How to take Lugol’s Iodine Capsules
- Talk to your healthcare practitioner first. Ask whether this dose is right for you and how long to take it.
- Take 1 capsule a day, or as your practitioner directs.
- Count your other iodine. Kelp, sea moss, multivitamins and Lugol’s drops can all contain iodine, so ask your practitioner about your total.
Caution: High potency: 12.5 mg iodine is more than 11 times the adult upper limit (1,100 mcg). Use only under the guidance of a healthcare practitioner. Do not take if you have Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. Do not use if you are pregnant, may become pregnant or are breastfeeding, have another thyroid condition, are sensitive to iodine, or take thyroid medication, lithium, amiodarone, ACE inhibitors, ARBs or potassium-sparing diuretics, unless your practitioner directs it. Stop and contact your practitioner if you notice a metallic taste, swollen glands, rash, palpitations or neck swelling. Adults only. Keep out of reach of children.

Where it’s made
Lugol’s Iodine Capsules are made in the USA with globally sourced ingredients.
Left out on purpose: no corn, dairy, egg, fish, gluten, peanuts, rice, shellfish, soy, sugar or yeast, and no artificial colors, flavors or preservatives.
| Ingredient | Amount per serving | % Daily Value |
|---|---|---|
| Iodine (as elemental iodine and potassium iodide) | 12,500 mcg | 8,333% |
Other ingredients: microcrystalline cellulose, silica, magnesium stearate and sodium copper chlorophyllin in a vegetable (cellulose) capsule.
How much iodine is in each capsule?
12.5 mg (12,500 mcg) of iodine, 8,333% of the Daily Value, made with molecular (elemental) iodine and potassium iodide.
What is Lugol’s iodine?
A formula first described in 1829 by the French physician Jean Lugol: iodine dissolved in water with potassium iodide. These capsules are made with the same two forms of iodine, without the water.
What is molecular iodine?
Molecular iodine, also called elemental iodine, is iodine that isn’t bound to another element: two iodine atoms joined together. Potassium iodide is iodine bound to potassium as a salt. The classic Lugol’s formula uses both, and these capsules are made with both.
Is 12.5 mg of Lugol’s iodine a high dose?
Yes. Adults need 150 mcg a day, the American Thyroid Association advises against supplements above 500 mcg a day and the upper limit from food and supplements is 1,100 mcg. One capsule has 12,500 mcg, so use it only with your healthcare practitioner’s guidance.
Who should not take it?
Do not take it if you have Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. Do not use it if you are pregnant, may become pregnant or are breastfeeding, have another thyroid condition, are sensitive to iodine, or take thyroid medication, lithium, amiodarone, ACE inhibitors, ARBs or potassium-sparing diuretics, unless your healthcare practitioner directs it. It isn’t for anyone under 18.
Can I take it with medication or other supplements?
Ask your healthcare practitioner first, especially if you take thyroid medication, lithium, amiodarone, ACE inhibitors, ARBs or potassium-sparing diuretics. Count the iodine in kelp, sea moss, multivitamins and Lugol’s drops too.
How many Lugol’s iodine capsules should I take a day?
One, unless your healthcare practitioner directs otherwise. One capsule is already more than 11 times the adult upper limit for iodine.
When should I take it?
The label doesn’t set a time of day. Take 1 capsule a day, or as your healthcare practitioner directs.
Are these Lugol’s iodine tablets?
No. They’re vegetable capsules rather than pressed tablets, with 12.5 mg of iodine in each.
Does it taste like iodine?
You swallow the capsule whole, so there’s no liquid to taste. It’s unflavored, with no sweeteners or flavors. A metallic or brassy taste while you take it can be a sign of too much iodine: stop and contact your healthcare practitioner.
Does it contain caffeine or stimulants?
No. It has no caffeine or other stimulants.
Lugol’s iodine capsules vs. liquid drops: what’s the difference?
Our Lugol’s Iodine Liquid Drops with Fulvic Acid come in a 2 fl oz dropper bottle, and you measure them by the drop; check that product’s label for the iodine in each serving. The capsules give a fixed 12.5 mg in one capsule, with no liquid, and don’t contain fulvic acid.
How long does a bottle last?
A bottle holds 90 capsules, so it lasts 90 days at 1 capsule a day. At $30, that’s $0.33 a capsule.
How does the subscription work?
Choose how often it renews: every 1, 2, 3 or 4 months. Subscription orders are 10% off: $0.30 a capsule instead of $0.33. It renews automatically until you cancel. Each renewal is $27.00 a bottle before any shipping or tax. At 1 capsule a day a bottle lasts 90 days, so the 3-month option is closest to the label. Ask your healthcare practitioner how long to take it before you subscribe.
Is it for adults only?
Yes. It’s for adults 18 and over, and only with a healthcare practitioner’s guidance.
Where is it made?
Lugol’s Iodine Capsules are made in the USA with globally sourced ingredients.
Do you ship Lugol’s Iodine Capsules outside the United States?
No. Our online store ships Lugol’s Iodine Capsules to U.S. addresses only.
