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, that’s what I purchased it for. But I have heard about taking it before having or being exposed to radiation. Interesting thought though and I’m going to do some research on it.
