New 2% Nascent Iodine is pure, energized, atomic iodine. Nascent Iodine generates great cellular energy(ATP) and promotes thyroid health & functioning. ATP is the molecule that stores energy for the body. Iodine and magnesium chloride work synergistically together to produce large amounts of cellular energy.

The toxicity of modern life is impacting iodine levels. Toxic halides, fluoride and bromide, having structure similar to iodine, can competitively inhibit iodine absorption and binding in the body. Australians, who are more exposed to flouride have a desperate need for more iodine and taking iodine in its nascent form would be the best way of increasing iodine levels in the safest and most effective way possible.

"Drs. Abraham, Flechas and Brownstein tested more than 4,000 patients taking iodine in daily doses ranging from 12.5 to 50 mg. These investigators found that “iodine does indeed reverse many diseases; their diabetic patients require less insulin; hypothyroid patients, less thyroid medication; symptoms of fibromyalgia resolve, and patients with migraine headaches stop having them." We can expect even better results when iodine is combined with magnesium chloride."

Nascent Iodine Benefits:

• Supports pituitary gland production of the thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH)
• Promotes/maintains T3 & T4 levels
• Supports a balanced endocrine system Improves energy levels
• Maintains balanced metabolism and healthy weight
• Increases cellular metabolism
• Naturally elevates the body's pH levels
• Aids in excretion of toxic flouride, bromine and chlorine
• Assists chelation of heavy metals mercury, cadmium and lead
• Supports healthy breast tissue, prostate and ovaries
• Increases antioxidant activity and immune system function
• Assists in regulating mood

Dosage

Each bottle contains approx. 600 drops. Dosage recommended on bottle is 1-3 drops in water, 3 times per day on an empty stomach. 1 drop is 400 mcg.

If recommended by your healthcare professional for assistance with a chronic health concern take 3 drops three or four times a day or as instructed by your healthcare professional. Fifteen drops per day is the equivalent of 6 mg. of iodine or 1 drop of Lugol's iodine. Frequent small doses are more effective than larger amounts at less frequent intervals. Always take on an empty stomach.

Iodine Universal Nutrient: According to Guy E. Abraham MD author of The Universal Nutrient, "Many physicians would be surprised to learn that more than 100 years ago, iodine was called the Universal Medicine, and was used in several clinical conditions. Nobel Laurette Albert Szent Gyorgyi, the physician who dicovered Vitamin C in 1928, commented: 'When I was a medical student, iodine in the form of K1 was the universal medicine. Nobody knew what it did, but it did something and did something good."

While iodine deficiency can be caused by a number of things, the main culprit is a lack of adequate dietary iodine in the standard Australian diet. To exacerbate this dietary void even further, the toxic halogens bromine, flouride and chlorine aggressively stop the absorption of iodine by the thyroid and other iodine starved tissues throughout the body.

Traditionally, the importance of iodine to the biological function of the body was focused on iodine's role in the nourishment of the thyroid gland, particularly for the production of T3 and T4 hormones and the regulation of metabolism. However, as the understanding of this nutrient has progressed, we come to understand that the role of iodine in the body far surpasses what most thought, and is not only necessary for overall health, but a crucial component of the detoxification process.

Iodine and Detoxification

Iodine is a potent nutrient that is an active catalyst in all aspects of detoxification and a natural chelator of mercury, lead and cadmium. That is, iodine supplementation immediately accelerates the excretion of toxic flouride and bromine from the body, something no other detoxification or chelation protocol can do. The simple presence of sufficient iodine levels within the body serves to protect it against these toxic chemicals.

What is Nascent Iodine?

Nascent Iodine is a consumable iodine in its atomic rather than molecular form. It is an iodine atom that has an incomplete number of electrons. It can hold an electromagnetic charge. This means that Nascent Iodine has a huge energy release when consumed. 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, it is recognized by the body as the same iodine that is produced by the thyroid and is absorbed effortlessly by the body.

Where is Iodine Utilized in the Body?

All the cells in your body contain and make use of iodine. It is concentrated in the glandular system of your body, with your thyroid containing the highest amount compared to any other organ. Significant amounts are also stockpiled in numerous other areas of the body including the salivary glands, cerebrospinal fluid and the brain, gastric mucosa, choroid plexus, breasts and ovaries.

How Soon will I Feel the Effect?

Some people notice additional energy on the first day after taking Nascent Iodine. If you already suffer from an iodine deficiency, you are most likely to notice the effect sooner.

Iodine is an easily oxidisable substance. Food that is present in the digestive tract will oxidize iodine to iodide which is not corrosive to the gastrointestinal tract. Oral iodine appears to be inactivated by combination with gastrointestinal contents. Absorption is poor due to rapid conversion of iodine to iodide and this might explain why one needs to take very high doses of Iodoral or Lugols compared to nascent iodine, which seems to bypass the digestive track altogether meaning its absorption starts right in the mouth and continues through direct penetration of the stomach tissues.

The nascent appears to go into direct use by the body directly as soon as it is exposed to soft tissues. This is no stretch of the imagination since we know that iodide is completely and rapidly absorbed throughout all areas of the GI tract. Dr. Brownstein says that the downside of Lugol's solution is the taste and the dosing of it. Lugol's has a distinct metallic taste.

Iodide has to be converted back to the nascent form in order to produce T3 and T4. Would the body not recognize nascent iodine as what is needed in the thyroid and take it there to avoid the steps of active transport to produce nascent iodine when it already has it available? This could explain why some people report that they feel the atomic form of iodine in their thyroid within 10 minutes. Is there really time for the iodine to get into the intestines and be converted into an iodide to be shipped to the thyroid?

"Iodine has many positive therapeutic actions. It is a potent anti-infective agent. No virus, bacteria or parasite has been shown to be resistant to iodine therapy," writes Dr. Brownstein. This is an incredible statement but one that can easily be backed by hardcore medical science. It is the reason hospitals use iodine by the gallon and in reality the only reason hospitals are not like ground zero sites contaminated in an infectious sense is because of iodine's broad spectrum anti-infective power.

When the thyroid becomes fully saturated from continued ingestion of detoxified iodine, whatever it doesn't need is eagerly grabbed by other tissues of the body independent of the form meaning iodide is not necessary. After the atomic iodine has made its rounds, whatever then remains and is unable to be used is excreted in the urine. The urine will turn bright yellow from the excess, similar to what happens with water-soluble B-vitamins that the body doesn't need. And, any excess can help the kidneys if there's an infection at the site.

From its position at the base of the brain, the pituitary gland monitors the levels of hormones in the blood. If a low level of thyroid hormones is detected, the pituitary gland sends out its own hormone called thyroid stimulating hormone or TSH, which stimulates the thyroid gland to step up production of thyroid hormones. The thyroid gland can't do this since it's missing one essential ingredient - iodine - but the pituitary gland does not know this. It keeps secreting TSH which after a time will cause the tissue of the thyroid gland to change and the entire gland will enlarge.

Iodine levels have fallen 50% over the last 30 years in the United States. We have also seen at the same time a dramatic drop off of magnesium cellular levels and the same can be said for other minerals like zinc and selenium. During this same time, there have been dramatic increases in illnesses of the breast (including breast cancer), prostate, thyroid and the immune system (i.e., autoimmune disorders). All of these conditions can be caused (in part or wholly) from iodine deficiency as well as magnesium, selenium and zinc deficiencies. Mineral levels should be evaluated in all suffering from illness and those trying to achieve their optimal health".
