Lugol's Solution 20% Iodine Drops — 10x the Iodine of Our 2% Formula
20% Lugol's Solution is the highest-concentration formula in the Lugols Originals lineup: molecular iodine (I₂) and potassium iodide (KI) in purified water, with nothing else added. It is not Nascent Iodine and not a general liquid iodine blend. At 20%, each drop delivers ten times the iodine of our 2% formula, four times the iodine of our 5% formula, and one-third more per drop than our 15% formula. There is no higher concentration available from Lugols Originals. This formula is for experienced users who have worked through the concentration ladder and are sourcing the maximum per-drop yield the lineup offers.
Why Lugol's Solution?
Lugol's Solution is a two-ingredient liquid iodine source — molecular iodine and potassium iodide in purified water — with no binders, capsule fillers, or synthetic additives. Diets low in iodized salt, seafood, or dairy may contain limited iodine. At 20%, the formula delivers the highest iodine concentration per drop available in a standard 2oz dropper bottle, requiring the fewest drops per serving of any formula in the lineup. Every bottle is manufactured in the U.S.A. by Lugols Originals using high-purity ingredients, in a facility dedicated to iodine production.
What makes the 20% strength distinct:
- ✔ Concentration: 20% — the highest in the Lugols Originals lineup; 10x the iodine per drop vs. our 2% formula; 4x vs. our 5%
- ✔ Formula: Molecular iodine (I₂) + potassium iodide (KI) in purified water — two ingredients, nothing else
- ✔ Serving: The fewest drops per serving of any formula in our lineup
- ✔ Supply: One 2oz glass dropper bottle = approximately 30-day supply at standard serving
- ✔ Packaging: Amber glass dropper bottle — no plastic contact with the solution, preserves solution integrity over time
- ✔ Formulated without alcohol for a milder taste
- ✔ Origin: Made in the U.S.A. by one of the world’s largest dedicated iodine manufacturers

How to Use
Add the recommended number of drops to a glass of water, juice, or another beverage. Use the included glass dropper for consistent, precise measurement. At 20%, each drop is the most concentrated in the lineup — begin with fewer drops than you used at any lower concentration and adjust with care. 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
How does 20% Lugol’s Solution compare to 15%?
The 20% formula delivers one-third more iodine per drop than our 15% formula, and ten times the iodine per drop compared to our 2% formula. The ingredient list is identical across all concentrations — molecular iodine (I₂), potassium iodide (KI), purified water. If stepping up from 15%, reduce your drop count by approximately 25% to start at a comparable serving.
Is 20% Lugol’s Solution appropriate for new users?
No. 20% is the highest-concentration formula in our lineup and is intended only for experienced users who are already familiar with liquid iodine supplementation, drop-based dosing, and their own established routine at lower concentrations. If you are new to Lugol’s Solution, start with our 2% formula and work up gradually.
Is this the strongest Lugol’s iodine you offer?
Yes. 20% is the highest concentration available from Lugols Originals in a standard 2oz dropper bottle. It is the terminal product in our Lugol’s Solution concentration lineup. For a lower concentration with more granular drop control, see our 15% formula.
Is this product shelf-stable for long-term storage?
Lugol’s Solution is chemically stable when stored in a cool, dark location away from direct light and heat. The amber glass dropper bottle is chosen specifically to preserve solution integrity over time.
