Nascent Iodine

Iodine displaces thyroid toxins such as bromine, fluorine, and chlorine. Iodine is wonderful for nourishing and supporting the thyroid gland.

It’s critical for all of us to get adequate amounts of iodine in our diets and taking an iodine supplement is a good way to do it.

How Nascent Iodine Works

Nascent iodine can help maintain optimal levels of iodine in the body. This is particularly important for the thyroid gland, which relies on iodine for the production of critical hormones, T3 and T4. These thyroid hormones are responsible for things like metabolism, brain development, and function and even the body’s ability to produce energy. Because nascent iodine is absorbed and utilized more readily than common dietary forms of iodine, it is easier for the thyroid to maintain homeostasis. In other words, it will have the appropriate amount of iodine to carry out its basic physiological processes.

If we are taking iodine, it’s also prudent to make sure we are getting adequate amounts of selenium as well and taking a supplement with both iodine and selenium is a good way to go.
