Shelf Life of Potassium Iodate (KiO3)
Although they are past the best before expiry date, according to the manufacturer, the shelf-life is “theoretically unlimited”. This means that it will be good for 8 years or more if not exposed to excessive heat. The shelf life can be extended by storing Ki03 in a refrigerator or freezer. When doing so, it is recommended to use some type of sealable storage bag. Note the fact that the sealed bottles are air tight.
Store bottles in a dry, cool place where children cannot reach them. If you swallow a lot of the tablets all together, or if you think a child has accidentally swallowed any of the tablets, contact your nearest hospital emergency room or doctor immediately.
*The United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission has made the following statement regarding shelf-life as follows:
"Is it safe to take KI tablets with an expired shelf-life?
Yes, potassium iodide tablets are inherently stable and do not lose their effectiveness over time."
We can not endorse and cannot verify this claim; we are simply passing on this information made by a trusted governmental department who has conducted studies.
* Potassium Iodate (Ki03) is made in the USA
- Potassium Iodate (Ki03) is a superior form of Ki that will shield or block the thyroid and prevent it from absorbing radiocactive Iodine during a nuclear emergency
- Each factory-sealed bottle contains 90 fresh tablets of Potassium Iodate 85 mg or 60 fresh tablets of Potasium Iodate 170mg
- Exceptional shelf life due to extra molecule of oxygen in Iodate
- Unlike other blockers, this is NOT government surplus 130-mg tablets of Ki (potassium iodate)
- Medical Corps recommends that each family member should have at least one bottle in their kit
- Take only if directed by authorities or if radioactive fallout is imminent
- Must be stored in a cool, dry place
- Shelf life of 8 years or longer if not exposed to excessive heat
