I have one of these too. I like it. I actually used it at work.

Take them before exposure to keep your thyroid gland filled to maximum capacity with non-radioactive iodine, so that when you get exposed to radioactive iodine, it just passes straight through you, instead of going to your thyroid to hang around and give you thyroid cancer. Trying to flush iodine out of the number one place your body wants to send more iodine to isn't going to be as effective as pissing out all that excess iodine ASAP because you already have too much.
