Potassium iodide is an inorganic compound with formula KI. Stable iodine is an valuable chemical required by the physique to make thyroid hormones. Most of the stable iodine in our bodies comes from the food we eat. KI is stable iodine in a medicine form. Potassium iodide is medicinally supplied in 130 mg tablets. Potassium iodide might also be administered as a "saturated answer of potassium iodide" (SSKI) which in the U.S.P. generic formulation consists of 1000 mg of KI per mL of resolution. Nutrition The significant makes use of of KI contain use as a nutritional supplement in animal feeds and also the human eating plan. For the latter, it is the most widespread additive applied to "iodize" table salt (a public health measure to avoid iodine deficiency in populations which get little seafood). The oxidation of iodide causes slow loss of iodine content from iodized salts that are exposed to excess air. The alkali metal iodide salt, over time and exposure to excess oxygen and carbon dioxide, slowly oxidizes to metal carbonate and elemental iodine, which then evaporates. Potassium iodate is applied to add iodine to some salts so that the iodine is not lost by oxidation.
