Nascent Iodine is a consumable iodine in its atomic form rather than its molecular form. It is an iodine atom that has an incomplete number of electrons. Iodine it perhaps best known for its role in normal production of thyroid hormones & normal thyroid function. It also contributes to normal cognitive function & normal function of the nervous system, as well as normal energy metabolism, skin health & to normal growth in children. Nascent Iodine is a consumable iodine in its atomic form rather than its molecular form. It is an iodine atom that has an incomplete number of electrons. It is paramagnetic. What does that mean? Well, it means that the iodine atoms can hold an electromagnetic charge. While this all might sound a little like a flashback to chemistry class, the most important thing to understand is that Nascent Iodine has a huge energy release when consumed. This charged state is held by the atom until diluted in water & 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 & is absorbed effortlessly by the body. Is Nascent Iodine the Same as Detoxified Iodine or Atomic Iodine? No, Detoxified Iodine is a coined name that for many years has been produced at 10 amps of resistance for five minutes with a high volume of iodine in solution. An iodine process that according to Edgar Cayce gives the molecule of iodine additional energy making it easier to assimilate into the body. DIRECTIONS 2-3 drops upto 3 times daily. Take on an empty stomach 30 minutes before or 1 hour after meals, medications & other supplements. Recommended to take before 4pma s it can raise your energy levels & keep you awake at night. INGREDIENTS Iodine (in its atomic form) 400 mcg per drop. In a base of organic grain alcohol.
