Available under several brand names, nascent iodine is sometimes referred to as:
- Atomic Iodine
- Monatomic Iodine
- Atomidine
Nascent iodine is in an atomic form. This means it has an incomplete number of electrons, giving it an electromagnetic charge. According to some, this allows nascent to be absorbed and utilized easier by our body. I have yet to see any science that shows this working any better than other, much less expensive iodine. Any claims made by nascent are using standard iodine information.
Unlike Lugols iodine, Nascent does not contain elemental iodide, which is what makes Lugols dark.
I think nascent is a great way to get started with iodine. For some reason we tend to want to push into more and more iodine, even if we’re not noticing direct results, and nascent allows us to do that at a slower and smoother rate. Once we’re done with our bottle of nascent we should be ready for Lugols 2% or 5%. Learn more about what the different Lugols strengths mean here whyiodine.com/strength
After using Lugols for years, I tried nascent and noticed additional benefits. I think it’s wise to try nutrients in as many quality forms as possible as we make our way through all of this.
Nascent is one of a handful of forms of iodine, but don’t allow these different forms to overwhelm you, any of them are better than nothing as long as we’re using the other nutrients in The Iodine Protocol. But at some point, you may want to read about the differences and benefits of Lugols. Learn more about the other forms at whyiodine.com/which-iodine
