why is this better (more expensive) than other Lugols iodine here on Amazon?

I worked in the hospital for many years, on the medical unit. That was the brand they always used and I felt it must be the best.I have been using it without any side effects. We know some off brands of medicine are contaminated with metals.

I have done a lot of research on the best formula to use for myself and my family. Most nutritionists I encountered have recommended Lugol's with a solution of 5% Iodine and 10% Potassium Iodide. I am happy with my decision to purchase this formula.

I have done the research with this company. I also have tested other products that they have put out. the labs are extremely efficient. the products test better than I have seen in any other company. Now, I recommend this but you have the option to get your Lugols iodine from any source. I have tried another and had a bottle break upon opening. all I know is I have been very happy with Rising sun's products.

This solution is made the same way as was originally formulated by Lugol. It is the right concentration, 5%, rather than some that are only 2%.

I've checked the Neutrogena website religiously & can't find this product, nor can I find it anywhere else. It didn't show up on their site last yr either; so last yr I found a few bottles here on Amazon & bought them. Think I paid about $12.99 each, high but still worth it to me. Before I placed my order last yr I asked the seller for the expiration dates & the seller gave me dates of 2/14 & 5/15. When I got my order, those dates were correct & clearly marked on the bottles. I also haven't been able to find this item in stores for over2+ years; so my assumption is that it's discontinued. Too bad as it's the only sunscreen that didnt cause a reaction on my face. For me, the price listed here is too high. as it used to sell for the standard sunscreen price of between $7.99 - $9.99 a bottle. The fact that it doesn't contain any chemical sun blockers isn't what's causing this price of $21.99. It's the fact that u can't find it anywhere, combined w/the seller hoping a person will pay this price. (Hey, it's a free market). Last yr I noticed CVS had their own brand of this & the ingredients were similar, but not identical. Today I've just searched extensively online & still can't find this Neutrogena item (except here on Amazon); so I'll head 2 my local CVS & see if they still sell their genetic version.

Lutron is probably the best in the business. Costly compared to this brand, but very high quality, and great customer service. Available locally at bigbox home improvement stores in case you're in a hurry; although I hope you're NOT in a hurry since it's been 2 years since you posted your question! XD

It is also cheaper at Perfect Supplements.com. Shipping for me was around $6. Might be more for you depending on where you live. You do get a big discount for buying several bottles, and free shipping for orders over $100.

I dont know why its cheaper, prices definitely vary depending on brands and sizes of supply. I also haven't used a more expensive brand but I can tell you that this brand has worked for me. It has dramatically suppressed my appetite without side effects which has made dieting easier and I have been losing weight. Inexpensive doesn't always mean lesser quality!

I have been researching this for PCOS, and have read it is the Myo-Inosiltol you want on several sources...I'm now confused. Explanation for why I am reading it is Myo I want and have yet ran into D-chiro? Would like to save myself from buying the wrong one [in all truth, I'm out if it's something that costs 50 a month, no way I could afford that]. :(

The price difference between Amazon and the price I pay for ordering from the La Prairie web site worries me too. Sellers usually claim that their low prices are from x,y,and z. Maybe, but I worry that Amazon may have bought at a lower price and obtained product that did not sell elsewhere--meaning that you won't get a fresh product. I'm not a chemist so I can't say in detail, but cosmetics do age just like all chemical mixtures. If somebody more knowledgeable comes up with something, I'd love to know. Elinor

As it's derived from kelp, it either has iodine, which is good, or bromine, which isn't. If you asre looking for a supplement rich in iodine, may I suggest iodine in liquid form.

Different vendors post different prices. I doubt there's any difference other than price, but there are other brands out there on Amazon. This product is the best value tho.

I compared it to Gatorade, and the savings is astronomical (because they're tablets without the added expense of bottled water, + minimal advertising - drinkers pay for a product's advertising, you know). I recommend that you compare Skratch's nutritional info with Nuun's side-by-side like I did with Gatorade.

Here's the link to Optimox so you can check it out. I am SO not literate in chemical make-ups so I can't answer that. http://www.optimox.com/pics/Iodine/opt_Iodoral.htm Please check for yourself.

I think it is better than Phisohex. I use it the first ten days of every month per doctors order. Way cheaper purchasing in large gallon

not a sarcasm! Just my kind of(wry?) humor/wit ;) Nalt is better and the difference in price of bulk ones is negligent...all it boils down to quality.Who knows which is best? Recent article somewhere states that many supplements sold by Walmart, GNC AND OTHERS are bogus.. :(

Hi Caspurr. Its me again. I just thought I let you know that I was referring to the Carlson Labs Elite Omega-3 Gems (700 mg of EPA & DHA per softgel capsule), and not the Carlson Super Omega-3 Gems (500 mg of EPA & DHA per softgel capsule). Sorry about the ambiguity on the last response. The Elite Gems are about $3 more expensive for only 120 softgels, 10 softgels less that the Carlson Super Omega-3 fish oil.

I am sorry but do not have any recent purchased Lugols. I would gather the shelf life is lengthy.

As a vegetarian, I never thought to ask that question. Ugh. That said, this is probably the best on the market and I would recommend it for sure. I guess you could email the seller and ask but I just assumed that the iodine came from the crystal form after watching videos on youtube. Let me know if you find out otherwise. There are other ones on this market that I have purchased and they are not what they say they are. Based on the strength of this, I would say it is the real deal. Remember, 2 and 5% is legit. For 7%, you need a 'script I think in all states so it can't be sold on the open market. Just saying when you are looking around. As a vegetarian, I never thought to ask that question. Ugh.

I've been taking Lugol's iodine forever, then discovered this, so I've no hair loss. Can't say I've noticed a great difference, but recently discovered I've got hypothyriodist pretty bad since stopping bio-identical thyroid 3-4 years ago. The answer from ToHisGlory seems pretty good.
