Nascent Iodine – 4oz

Traditionally, the importance of iodine to the biological function of the body was focused on iodine’s role in the normal functioning of the thyroid gland, particularly for the production of T3 and T4 hormones and the regulation of metabolism.

Nascent iodine is a supplemental form of iodine, believed to be more easily absorbed by the body compared to other forms.

Nascent iodine may help with:

1. Thyroid Health: Iodine is crucial for the synthesis of thyroid hormones, which regulate metabolism, energy production, and hormonal balance. Nascent iodine may help in maintaining normal thyroid function and hormone levels.
2. Metabolic Support: Since iodine impacts thyroid function, it indirectly supports metabolism, which can influence energy levels and weight management.
3. Immune Support: Some proponents of nascent iodine suggest that it can help support the immune system, although the evidence for this claim is not well established.
4. Detoxification: There are claims that nascent iodine can help detoxify the body, particularly from heavy metals and other pollutants. This is based on the general role of iodine in detoxification pathways, but specific evidence for nascent iodine in this role is limited.
5. Antimicrobial Properties: Iodine is known for its antimicrobial properties, and nascent iodine is sometimes used for its potential to help fight infections, though clinical evidence specifically supporting nascent iodine’s effectiveness in this capacity is minimal.

Recommendations:

• Take on an empty stomach 30 minutes before or one hour after meals, medications and/or supplements.
• Take before breakfast, before lunch and then again before 4 p.m.

Please Note: Taking it late in the day could raise energy levels and keep one awake at night
