MIRA Safety Potassium Iodide Tablets (60 tablets total, 65 mg per tablet)

Product Description

Potassium Iodide tablets are a potentially life-saving solution for exposure to radioactive iodine (I-131) in the aftermath of a nuclear accident or explosion.

These tablets work by flooding your body with safe iodine to prevent the absorption and accumulation of radioactive iodine. Radioactive iodine can otherwise lead to an increased risk of thyroid cancer—and your thyroid gland is crucial for managing everything from your nervous system to your heart rate.

These tablets will be the first thing you reach for in the aftermath of a nuclear disaster.

Key Features of Potassium Iodide Tablets:

  • Each tablet contains 65mg of Potassium Iodide 
  • Tablets can easily be split to manage dosing for both children and adults
  • Each container comes with 60 tablets, or 30 adult doses (60 for children)
  • Metered dose with minimal risk of side effects or discomfort
  • 10-year shelf life for long-lasting reliability

Technical Details of Potassium Iodide Tablets

Radioactive iodine (I-131) is a significant component in the fallout produced by nuclear accidents, detonations, or reactor meltdowns.

Once ingested or inhaled, I-131 accumulates in the body’s thyroid gland—where it can cause mutation and, eventually, thyroid cancer. Potassium Iodide tablets are a proactive solution to protect yourself from I-131 by preventing absorption in the first place.

Tablets should be taken immediately upon finding out you’re at risk of potential exposure. Each dose provides 24 hours of protection, and each bottle contains 60 x 65mg tablets (dosing instructions below).

Since nearly two-thirds of Americans live within 50 miles of an active nuclear reactor, MIRA Safety recommends Potassium Iodide tablets for every household. Thyroid protection is vital for younger family members.

NOTE: The risk of developing thyroid cancer from I-131 exposure reduces with age, while the likelihood of experiencing side effects increases. Exercise caution if taking these supplements over the age of 40. 

Dosing Instructions:

  • Newborns (up to 1 month old) should receive ¼ tablet (16mg) per day
  • Infants (between 1 month and three years) should receive ½ tablet (32mg) per day
  • Children (between 3 and 18 years, up to 150lbs) should receive one tablet (65mg) per day
  • Adults (age 18+) should receive two tablets per day


NOTE: Each dose lasts 24 hours. MIRA Safety recommends having at least a one-month supply for each family member.

Military surplus comes in a variety of different conditions based the three " W " rule: What, Where, When.

  • Depending on what the item is will generally determine the amount of use and what it was used for. This is important because some items do not endure the torture of being in the field for prolonged periods of time, while others might.
  1. Ex: Dress Uniforms are not worn in combat, therefore generally, there is lighter use than issued combat/working uniforms.

  • Knowing where the item most likely was issued/stored will generally determine the environment it was exposed to. This is important because some items are exposed to harsher conditions than others, or are straight from storage.
  1. Ex: Uniforms & Gear issued in the Vietnam War saw extreme heat and moister, giving those items specific textures/smells/common problems, while the same items issued to troops in occupied Europe do not have those attributes (Generally better conditions). 
  2. Ex: Uniforms & Gear stored in a controlled environment (warehouses or similar areas) feel and smell different than if it is stored in a non-controlled environment (Random areas/outside/or exposed to elements)

  • Time is a huge factor, when something was issued generally determines the age of the item. As time goes by everything ages, this is the circle of life and it does apply to inanimate objects, like military surplus. Items will show signs of age, typically tarnished metal/fading/stains/rips/holes/rot/smell. The exception to the rule is NOS ( New old stock) items or ones stored carefully in controlled environments.
  1. Ex: Uniforms & Gear from World War 2 are generally made of canvas/leather/twill or HBT fabric, and are close to 100 years old. These items have more than likely seen combat or were reissued in the Korean or Vietnam Wars. Extensive use and the fact that they are almost a century old will reflect the condition & price. This applies to any era. 
  2. Ex: Uniforms & Gear from the original factory box, or items stored carefully in controlled environments will generally retain their durability and "new" look. The age of an item sometimes is not a factor BUT only when it is properly stored or carefully looked after.
