You know I had forgotten about this. Taking the supplement before and after youโre getting an x-ray or going through an x-ray machine. Thank you for reminding me about that. ๐๐๐
I don't think iodine protects you from radiation such as x-rays. From what I understand, you take it after a nuclear disaster because the fallout includes radioactive iodine. By supplementing iodine, the thyroid gland gets saturated which stops it from absorbing the radioactive isotope.
Yes, thatโs what I purchased it for. But I have heard about taking it before having or being exposed to radiation. Interesting thought though and Iโm going to do some research on it.
