Making your own Lugols iodone is very easy, and you can save a lot. Cost for making your own 5% solution is $1.56 per ounce versus $25. Here’s how I do it: Recipe for making Lugols 5% (6.25 mg/drop) in a nutshell: 1. Obtain a clean, empty 1 quart container (with lid) 2. Fill about halfway with distilled water (RO water is also okay) 3. Put in 44 grams of elemental iodine crystal 4. Stir with non-metal spoon (wood is okay). 5. Put in 88 grams of potassium iodide, and stir some more. 6. Fill jar to about 80% of capacity with distilled water. 7. Let it set overnight. If cap is ...
