Fourth, wash down potassium iodide pills with the wine.

Does wine do anything to increase the effective method of action of potassium iodide pill? Or just because? (My just because is to make pancakes in an emergency sit-tight scenario, when the power goes out for 3 days or I'm snowed in)

But being serious another nutrient you could take is Turmeric/Curcumin as an anti-rad supplement. However it isn't easily absorbed. There's a version called BCM-95 that is better. But better then that there's a Liposomal version that you can make at home with a ultrasonic cleaner. The idea is to buy 100% organic tumeric for $11 on amazon, and make the liposomal version. Take massive dosage if you are or about to be exposed to radiation. Sorry I don't have sources, because I'm not in the medical field, you'll have to source them and vet them yourself. If you are in the medical field I'd be interest in your input

You need to take black pepper with it for absorption of Curcumin. Some of the curcumin supplements already have piperine for absorption, so there is no need to make artificial delivery mechanisms for Turmeric off of Amazon. Plus, the amount in Tumeric is very low compared to just purchasing the supplement with piperine in it. You'd spend all your emergency cash making some drug delivery system that wouldn't deliver much of anything.
