Lugol's Iodine disinfectant.

Iodine is an essential trace element. While commonly associated with thyroid health, its role extends to being a powerful disinfectant.

We at crapfree produce and sell Lugol's Iodine strictly for use as a disinfectant only and so cannot advise internal use of iodine. Customers do so at their own risk.

Lugol's iodine, named after the French physician Jean Lugol who introduced it in the 1820s, is a brilliant brown solution that contains iodine as a key ingredient. It boasts a unique combination of potassium iodide and elemental iodine, making it a versatile powerhouse in both medical and household applications.

Iodine as a disinfectant studies and further authoritative information:

The 2003 study "The role of iodine in antisepsis and wound management: a reappraisal" states:

"As a bactericidal agent, iodine penetrates bacterial cell walls, and although its precise killing mechanism is uncertain due to its extensive halogen reactivity, it's likely related to retardation of bacterial protein synthesis, disruption of electron transport, DNA denaturation or membrane destabilization. Over its hundreds of years of use, iodine hasn't elicited bacterial resistance, a trait that's due perhaps to its broad mechanism of action: It may have too many mechanisms for bacteria to adapt to".

An August 2000 study titled "Use of iodine for water disinfection: iodine toxicity and maximum recommended dose" stated that:

"Iodine is an effective, simple, and cost-efficient means of water disinfection for people who vacation, travel, or work in areas where municipal water treatment is not reliable".

The WHO (World Health Organisation) say:

"Iodine is an effective halogen oxidant used to disinfect drinking water in emergency, military, or field settings".
