Good Health Naturally Nascent Iodine is a highly bioavailable iodine supplement in the form of a liquid. Iodine is an often-overlooked trace mineral with multiple benefits.
Iodine is an integral and essential part of healthy DNA integrity (both developmentally and throughout life, immunity, metabolic balance, hormonal gland function and cardiovascular health. It has been suggested that many people are iodine deficient and so have to resort to taking iodine supplements. The thyroid contains the most amount of iodine but it is also found in every single cell of the body as well as in the salivary glands, cerebrospinal fluid, brain, and breasts.
Unlike many iodine tablets & supplements, Nascent Iodine is a form of iodine that can be ingested into the body and it exists in an atomic form instead of a molecular form. This charged state is held by the atom until diluted in water and consumed, whereby it gradually loses energy over a 2-3 hour time span. During this time, Nascent Iodine is recognized by the body as the same iodine that is produced by the thyroid and is absorbed effortlessly by the body.
Directions: As a food supplement, take 1-3 drops of iodine liquid in half-ounce water, twice daily on an empty stomach, or as directed by a healthcare professional. Do not take late in the evening as Nascent Iodine can raise energy levels.
