"Nuke Proof pills". KI vs KI03

I've got a couple packs of Iosat on hand, but am wondering if it or ANYTHING is really going to help. As I'm looking at prices I see KI03 is SIGNIFICANTLY cheaper than KI, but the only information I've been able to find on KI03 is being diligently supplied by either a manufacture, or somebody trying to sell it. :/

Anybody familiar with how radiation effects the human body, how it's treated, or even have a source of information that doesn't stand to gain from sales of magic beans?

I spent half a dozen years in nuclear power plants back in the 1980's and did some work with guys at the Pantex plant in Texas as well. I can assure you, if you're worried about nuclear as your doomsday scenario, quit worrying. If a dirty nuke goes off or a conventional warhead, there isn't anything that's going to help you - you're dead. Those pills are just snake oil - a complete scam. If doomsday comes in the form of radiation, trust me, you are doomed and no chem suit, tape, or pill is going to save you. It may prolong the inevitable, but you won't want it to. We watched a lot of films on radiation poisoning back then in safety classes, and I've kept up with the industry since then - honestly, there's just nothing you can do in that scenario short of the old cold war bunkers as seen in "Blast from the Past." Sorry to be a wet blanket, but don't waste your money on those things.
This is true for many of the Biological and chemical weapons as well. Much of the training I have had, treatment listed for most was make them comfortable and treat for pain if possible. Not a lot you can do.
Here is some interesting tests that have been done.

The St Jo Program and Large Area Concept
The success of the first field tests only increased demand for more experiments. In response to an Air Force request, in 1953 the Chemical Corps created the St Jo Program and operatives staged mock anthrax attacks on St. Louis, Minneapolis, and Winnipeg. The bacteria were released from generators placed on top of cars, and local governments were told that "invisible smokescreen" were being deployed to mask the city on enemy radar. The next stage was to increase dispersal patterns, dispeThe St Jo Program and Large Area Concept

The next stage was to increase dispersal patterns, dispensing particles from airplanes to find out how wide of an area they would affect. The first Large Area Concept experiment, in 1957, involved dispersing microorganisms over a swath from South Dakota to Minnesota; monitoring revealed that some of the particles eventually traveled some 1200 miles away. Further tests covered areas from Ohio to Texas and Michigan to Kansas. In the Army's words, these experiments "proved the feasibility of covering large areas of the country with [biological weapons] agents."
