My understanding was that Lugols is a ratio Between Iodine and Potassium Iodide in water, rather than a strength, and that originally it happened to be 5% overall strength, but the USA government later developed strength limitations for air shipment of goods (as there's a relationship between Potassium Iodide and the ability to make explosive things) to 2.2%. Not researched, Not proven, it's just how I remember it. If I'm wrong then I accept it completely.

Lugols is regulated by your system to 2% for container volumes more than 30ml, see wiki article below. . Further there are many different formula named Lugols. I notice that www.lugols.com mentions Lugols 5% and Lugols 2% and mentions the mg iodine per drop depending on how you hold the dropper and which % you have. Here are some formula below ; all yielding different mg/ml. Which is correct by your reckoning? OK, Tony Dr Hulda Clarke gave it as: 44g iodine, granular 88g potassium iodide, granular 1 litre water. Medical Microbiology --Cruikshank 10g iodine 20g Potassium iodide Distilled water 1000ml and 1g iodine 2g Potassium iodide 300ml Distilled water FromWikipedia: Formula and manufacture. Lugol's solution consists of 5 g iodine (I2) and 10 g potassium iodide (KI) mixed with 85 ml distilled water, to make a brown solution with a total iodine content of 150 mg/mL. Potassium iodide renders the elementary iodine soluble in water through the formation of the triiodide (I3?) ion. It is not to be confused with tincture of iodine solutions, which consist of elemental iodine, and iodide salts dissolved in water and alcohol. Lugol's solution contains no alcohol. Other names for Lugol's solution are I2KI (Iodine-Potassium Iodide); Markodine, Strong solution (Systemic); Aqueous Iodine Solution BCP. Lugol's is obtained from chemists and pharmacists who are licensed to prepare and dispense the solution. This indicator, also called a stain, is used in many different fields. ' ' 2007 DEA regulation in the United States However, effective August 1, 2007, the DEA now regulates Lugol's solution (and, in fact, all iodine solutions containing greater than 2.2% iodine) as a List I precursor because it may potentially be used in the illicit production of methamphetamine.[8] However, transactions of up to one fluid ounce (30 ml) of Lugol's solution are exempt from this regulation. By contrast, Lugol's iodine solution is available over the counter in Canada and Mexico.
