An Iodine Rich Drinking Water named as “Tubig Talino” was developed by DOST-Food and Nutrition Research Institute (DOST-FNRI) to control and prevent Iodine Deficiency Disorders (IDD) among Filipinos. Tubig Talino is a purified or ordinary potable water mixed with Water Plus I2 that may be consumed to improve iodine intake of Filipinos resulting to better health.
According to DOST-FNRI, a 5ml of Water Plus I2 can make 20 liters of Tubig Talino that can meet 33% of the iodine daily requirement of the body.
