Iodide is the ion form of iodine, occurring when iodine bonds with another element, such as potassium.

Produced via the reaction of Iodine with Potassium Hydroxide, it is the mostly broadly used source of iodide.Adults. People over the age of 40 should only take potassium iodide if their public health officials state that there will be a very high amount of radioactive iodine contamination.
