If a radiation emergency is declared, these tablets can save your life. These FDA approved tablets contain KIO3 (potassium iodate) which will prevent the human thyroid gland from absorbing cancer-causing radioactive iodine.

The World Health Organization, FDA, NRC, and numerous nuclear medicine experts agree that prompt use of KIO3 is the most effective measure to take--in conjunction with evacuation or sheltering--to protect the tens of millions of people who are at risk in the event of a nuclear accident or terrorist act.
