Protect the Thyroid Gland
Potassium iodide is a chemical compound that can be used to protect the thyroid gland from radioactive iodine. When taken as directed, potassium iodide fills the thyroid with a non-radioactive form of iodine, which can prevent the thyroid from absorbing any of the radioactive iodine that may be present in the environment. This makes potassium iodide an important tool for protecting the Thyroid in emergency situations.*
