How Superiodide Helps Children Safely Take Potassium Iodide

Radiation treatment and diagnostics often require protecting the thyroid gland from radioactive iodine. This is done using potassium iodide (KI), a mineral that blocks harmful isotopes from entering the thyroid. While adults can take KI pills or liquids, children struggle with these forms due to bad taste, side effects, and difficulties swallowing.

Superiodide introduces a solution by offering KI-enriched foods and snacks made specifically for children. These products help make radiation preparation easier, safer, and more effective for young patients.

Superiodide products are available for all age groups from 1 year and older, offering accurate dosages in familiar, child-friendly formats. The approach improves treatment compliance, minimizes stress, and gives parents and healthcare providers a practical way to help children during radiation therapy.

A New Way to Take Potassium Iodide

Traditional potassium iodide comes in bitter pills or drops, which most children refuse to take. They may spit it out, vomit, or resist entirely. Parents struggle with ensuring their children receive the full dose, especially before time-sensitive medical procedures. Superiodide addresses this problem by embedding potassium iodide directly into tasty, easy-to-eat snacks.

These products include fruit syrups, jellybeans, chocolates, cereals, and chips — all tailored by age group. By combining iodine with food, Superiodide also reduces side effects like nausea and stomach upset. It’s no longer a battle to protect the thyroid — it’s as simple as eating a snack.

Children are more willing to cooperate, and parents feel reassured knowing their kids receive the right dose without the stress. The consistent intake helps achieve proper thyroid blocking, which is essential for the safety of radiation-related treatments.

Age-Appropriate Options for Better Compliance

Superiodide creates separate product lines for three age groups: 1–6 years, 7–12 years, and 12+. This allows medical professionals and caregivers to choose the right product depending on the child’s size and required dose. For toddlers and young children, options include canned syrups in flavors like wild rose and pear. School-aged kids receive fun treats like chocolate candies and jellybeans. Teens and older children can enjoy cereals or chips in flavors like crab or sour cream.

Each product is carefully portioned to include the correct amount of KI for that age group. Additionally, Superiodide avoids allergens and ingredients that may conflict with religious or dietary needs. This makes it easier for clinics, hospitals, and families to introduce KI without complications.

Packaging is designed for clarity and ease of use, helping reduce errors and making the process faster for busy parents or healthcare workers.

Born from Medical Research, Built for Children

Superiodide was founded by Dr. Mojtaba Ansari Jafari, an expert in nuclear medicine and diagnostic imaging. His work with iodine-131 and thyroid imaging helped him realize how difficult iodine delivery is for children. He saw the need for an easier, more pleasant method — especially in sensitive cases like cancer treatment.

Together with Seyed Mohammad Mahdi Rowhani, a skilled business developer with a background in food production, they created Superiodide. Their goal: combine medical accuracy with real-world usability. The result is a line of safe, delicious products that transform a difficult medication routine into something approachable for children.

Their dedication ensures each product meets medical needs while remaining child-friendly, making it easier to manage radiation preparation with confidence.

Making Treatment Safer for Every Child

Superiodide is more than just a product — it’s a child-centered solution to a serious medical challenge. By delivering potassium iodide in a tasty, digestible form, it gives families a better way to support their children before radiation diagnostics or therapy.

With accurate dosages, no allergens, and easy-to-use packaging, Superiodide helps reduce stress and increase success in thyroid protection. It’s a step forward in pediatric care, offering both medical reliability and everyday simplicity when it matters most.
