Benefits & Description
Five Year Shelf Life | FDA Approved | Two Weeks Supply | IOSAT Potassium Iodide Tablets
• Two week supply
Small packet containing 14 tablets (a two week supply for one person) takes up little space and is easily stored in emergency kits. • Great for 72-hour kits or emergency supplies
Each tablet contains 130 milligrams of radioactivity-neutralizing Potassium Iodide (KI). • Long shelf life
The long shelf-life of each packet means that you don't have to rotate them for 5 years. • Only FDA approved pill
IOSAT tablets have been FDA Approved since 1982 and are the only ones to share that distinction. • Feel confident in your preparations
As always, this product is trusted quality from The Ready Store—it won't let you down!In the event of a nuclear accident, radioactive iodine would be released into the air and could then be absorbed by the thyroid, damaging it and potentially causing death. You don't want to be left unprotected and unprepared during a radioactive emergency. For example, after the Chernobyl melt-down, all U.S. supplies of Potassium Iodide, which protects the body from the harmful radioactive iodine, disappeared for months! Health experts believe that the greatest health concerns from a nuclear accident are likely to be not from the initial explosion or spill, but from the release of radioiodine being carried downwind hundreds of miles from the original site. When Potassium Iodide is taken it floods the thyroid with a stabilized iodine, preventing 99% percent of the damage caused by radioactive nuclear fallout.
Iodide is actually more familiar than most people realize—it's the ingredient added to everyday table salt to make it iodized salt. IOSAT, which uses Iodine and Potassium, has passed all FDA tests for purity, quality, safety, and efficacy to become one of only three potassium iodide tablets in the U.S. that can be legally sold and safely ingested. Defense experts recommend keeping a supply on hand for each family member.
Potassium Iodide, of course, should only be taken when public health officials recommend and is to be used solely for emergency use. The recommended dosage is as follows: Adults and children 1 year of age or older: One (1) tablet once a day. Crush for small children. Babies under 1 year of age: One-half (1/2) tablet once a day. Crush first. To be taken 30 minutes prior to exposure.

- how long will we have to take this tablet for?
-
How long would we have to take Iosat for, when there's that much radiation, will it protect us? What % does Iosat protect people from radiation at 2 tablets a day? thank you.Price Value Quality
From The Ready Store:
You only need to take 1 per day but you don't want to take them for longer than 10 days in a row.

This is an nice addition to our emergency supplies. In this world nuclear fallout is a possibility we hope to never encounter. It is nice to feel prepared.Value Quality Price
- Hope we never have to use these!

We live within the 5 miles radius of a nuclear power plant. So far so good but feel much better about it now.Price Value Quality

I hate the fact that I had to buy these. But, in this day and time its a must. After Japan you couldn't even find these for many months. Better safe than sorryPrice Value Quality
- Just in case

I think that people sometimes don't even know that they are near harmful radiation until it is too late. Some companies can have it near you and you would'nt know. FEMA states that the government only has enough for the people who live within a mile radius of the stuff. You could even ration the stuff for 2 people for 1 week, that should be long enough to get far away from anything harmful.Price Value Quality
- Good Idea

Thank you for starting to carry this product. I bought mine a while back and had to search the internet for a long time to find these at a good price. Your price is very good, too.Price Value Quality
- Get your supply while available

When you know you need these, it most likely will be too late to obtain. Any scare causes a run on available supplies making these tablets scarce.Price Value Quality
- Better to have this on hand than to wait until it's too late!

Although there aren't any nuclear reactors in my area, I bought these pills for my family just in case of nuclear attack. Better safe than sorry!Value Quality Price
- So glad to have these now!

We live about 35 miles from two nuclear reactors, and they are in the process of building 2 more on the same site! I'm so relieved to have these in our supplies--These tablets were one of the major items missing from our preparations, and they are good for seven years. Add them to your cart now, because 'after the fact' will be too late!Quality Price Value
- Thank you for carrying these.

I've been looking for these for a while. The local fire company made some available two months ago. Limit one pill per person, one year shelf life too. I was so thankful to find you had them. I purchased enough for my immediate family and had two packs left for some close friends. Thank you..Price Value Quality

If you are looking at this item, you are preparing for a radiological emergency. Do yourself a favor and stop wasting your time and just add these to your cart.Price Value Quality
These have a long shelf life (mine are good through 2017 and I purchased them a few years ago) and this technology was proven effective in Chernobyl for those who were lucky enough to get the pills.

I tried finding these after the Incident in Japan and they could not be found for any price.Price Value Quality

I live within 10 miles of several universities that have small nuclear reactors, yet my neighborhood is not listed by the NRC as being in a nuclear zone. I figure it is better to take some extra precautions myself now, than not be prepared later.Price Value Quality
- Wash it down
-
These are a must have but also consider taking them with a cup of red wine. Red wine has shown to have some benefits resisting radiation poisoning. I know it seems strange but a cursory search via google will give you some reading material on the subject. Specifically look up "resveratrol" which is a stabilized compound found in 99+% of red wine.Price Value Quality

Re-ordering these tablets for my family so I can rotate my emergency stockpile and keep our supply up-to-date.Value Quality Price

Excellent preparedness productQuality Price Value
- Great expiration date

Received 4 packs of the IOSAT radiation protection tablets today. Was impressed with the secure packaging. They have a clear cellophane sleeve over the tablets which are individually housed in foil cups for easy access on a daily basis. The expiration dates were 11/2018 on one of the packs and 4/2019 on the other three. Hope we never have to use them, but feel safer having them as we have quite a few nuclear power plants in our area.Value Quality Price
- Worth it in the end

This is a small price to pay for peace of mind. Especially nice for bug out bags because they lie so flat. DO NOT use these in a non-emergency situation!Quality Price Value
- Worst Case Scenario
-
Price is in line with a few other competitors, can possibly find cheaper elsewhere........,BUT DO NOT BE CAUGHT WITHOUT THIS ITEM IN WORST CASE SCENARIO!!, with the Ready Store's low shipping cost, this is worth a few extra dollars to have peace of mind for your families sake.Quality Price Value
- good product
-
i think its worth it to have some of these in an emergency supply. the down side is that it's only a 7 year shelf life and it's important to remember that it not a "force field" against radiation. in the big picture the cost wasn't too much for the peace of mind.Price Value Quality
- When to take
-
The instructions say to take 30 minutes BEFORE exposure. How would this be possible in the event of Nuclear War? By the time it happens these would be useless as we would already be exposed to the fallout.Price Value Quality
*From The Ready Store: Carlyn, this is the fastest product on the market to our knowledge and the only FDA Approved full strength tablet available to the public. Almost all pills take this amount of time to get into a human's bloodstream.
