Liquid Iodine 5% Drops — Mid-Strength Iodine Supplement in Purified Water

5% Liquid Iodine from Lugols Originals delivers molecular iodine and potassium iodide in purified water at a mid-range concentration — 2.5 times the iodine per drop compared to the 2% formula, in the same clean, three-ingredient solution. This is the most popular concentration for users who have moved past the entry-level strength and want a more efficient per-drop yield without stepping into high-concentration territory. Manufactured in the U.S.A. and packaged in an amber glass dropper bottle for precise dosing.

What Is Liquid Iodine?

Liquid iodine supplements deliver iodine in a water-based solution for easy, drop-based dosing. This formula uses molecular iodine (I₂) and potassium iodide (KI) in purified water — a combination used in liquid iodine supplementation for nearly two centuries. Iodine is an essential trace mineral; diets low in iodized salt or seafood may contain limited iodine from food sources alone. Lugols Originals’ Liquid Iodine is manufactured in the U.S.A. using high-purity ingredients with no fillers or artificial additives.

What makes the 5% strength distinct:

• ✔ Concentration: 5% — 2.5x the iodine per drop vs. the 2% formula
• ✔ Formula: Molecular iodine (I₂) + potassium iodide (KI) in purified water
• ✔ Additives: None — three ingredients, nothing else
• ✔ Serving: Fewer drops per serving needed vs. 2% to reach the same iodine amount
• ✔ Supply: One 2oz amber glass dropper bottle = approximately 30-day supply at standard serving
• ✔ Packaging: Amber glass dropper bottle — no plastic contact with the solution
• ✔ Origin: Made in the U.S.A. by Lugols Originals

Who This Is For

• Users stepping up from 2% liquid iodine who want a higher per-drop yield in the same clean, water-based formula
• Established liquid iodine users who have confirmed their preferred serving size and want a more efficient format
• Clean-label supplement buyers who want a traceable, minimal-ingredient iodine source — three ingredients, nothing else
• Users directed to 5% liquid iodine by a practitioner or personal research, comparison-shopping on purity and sourcing

How to Use

Add the recommended number of drops to a glass of water or juice. Use the included glass dropper for consistent, precise measurement. At 5%, each drop delivers more iodine than the 2% formula — adjust your drop count accordingly and follow the serving guidance on the label. Consult a qualified healthcare provider before use if you are pregnant, nursing, taking prescription medications, or have a known sensitivity to iodine.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is in 5% liquid iodine?

Three ingredients: molecular iodine (I₂), potassium iodide (KI), and purified water. No fillers, no artificial additives, no unnecessary ingredients. Manufactured in the U.S.A. by Lugols Originals.

Why choose 5% over 2% liquid iodine?

The 5% formula delivers 2.5x the iodine per drop compared to the 2% formula, meaning fewer drops per serving are needed to reach the same amount. Users who have established a routine with 2% and want a more efficient format — or who have been directed to 5% specifically — are the primary audience for this strength. If you are new to liquid iodine, starting with 2% is a common approach.

Is 5% liquid iodine shelf-stable?

Yes. The formula is stable when stored in a cool, dark location away from direct light and heat. The amber glass dropper bottle protects the solution from light degradation over time, making it a practical choice for users who want a long-lasting supply.

How does liquid iodine differ from iodine tablets or capsules?

Liquid iodine allows for drop-based dosing, which gives users precise control over the amount per serving. Unlike tablets or capsules with fixed doses, drops can be adjusted up or down as needed. The liquid format also allows the serving to be added directly to a beverage for easy daily use.
