I don't know what "iodine tincture" contains that is sold in the store. You
would have to read the ingredients. Lugol's Iodine contains Potassium Iodide
and Iodine and distilled water and it is apparently the Potassium Iodide in it
that helps make it more highly absorbable. Also when you buy iodine in the
store, like hydrogen peroxide that isn't meant to be taken internally (unless
you buy the 35% food grade to be diluted) perhaps there is something in there
that is not meant to be taken internally and it might have other stuff in it?
If it is for cuts and stuff like that, like the Betaine they use to cleanse
wounds, I wouldn't be drinking that.
So bottom line you have to read labels and know what they mean. Then make sure
there are no stabilizers and all kinds of things in there.

The website is www.escience.ca but you won't find it on the web. You have to
call them personally and special order it and may have to leave a deposit
because it's a special order. The phone number is 416-787-4581 and fax is
416-787-5140. Sorry I don't know what their email address is. Perhaps they
have it on the website?
