A naturally occurring substance, iodine is an essential nutrient that facilitates a wide range of normal bodily processes, including your metabolic, thyroid and immune functions. Additionally, stable iodine is an important mineral needed by the body to naturally produce thyroid hormones.

With roughly a third of the surface tension of water, Health Ranger’s Nascent Iodine has one of the lowest surface tensions of any iodine product we’ve tested so far. Because of this low surface tension, nascent iodine is very easy for your body to absorb. Our incredibly potent iodine formulation is created using the divinely-inspired Edgar Cayce method of adding energy to diatomic iodine to create monatomic “nascent” iodine. Each 1-drop serving provides roughly 350 mcg of elemental iodine.

Specially formulated for optimal absorption, Health Ranger’s Nascent Iodine is a 2% strength stable iodine tincture that is lab verified for potency and composition. Instead of a glycerin solution, it uses a solution of pure, USP-grade alcohol. This gives our high-quality iodine supplement an incredibly long shelf life. Health Ranger’s Nascent Iodine is non-GMO, non-China and is extensively lab tested for glyphosate, heavy metals and microbiology.

Health benefits of iodine**

Supports healthy immune function – A study that appeared in the journal Frontiers in Immunology indicated that iodine is a crucial nutrient for optimal immune health. As an inorganic antioxidant, iodine can also help scavenge free radicals and protect your immune cells against oxidative damage. Moreover, iodine can also support the natural activity of other antioxidants in your body, which can provide further immune support.

Supports healthy thyroid function – A study from the Annals of Pediatric Endocrinology & Metabolism found that your body requires a certain amount of iodine every day because it plays a vital role in supporting healthy thyroid function. Inadequate levels of iodine can place unnecessary strain on your thyroid just to function normally. Additionally, your thyroid uses iodine to maintain healthy hormone levels already within the normal range.

Supports healthy cognitive function – According to a study that appeared in the journal Food Science & Nutrition, having sufficient levels of iodine can support optimal cognitive function. It is important to keep your mind sharp in a survival scenario and a great way to do this is to regularly supplement with iodine.

Supports healthy metabolism – One of the key functions of your thyroid gland is regulating your normal metabolic function. Since your thyroid needs a certain amount of iodine everyday just to work properly, you can support optimal metabolism by supplementing with lab-verified iodine.
 
Supports the growth of healthy skin, teeth and hair – Iodine plays a vital role in maintaining healthy, glowing skin. Having low iodine levels is associated with dry, flaky skin. A study from the journal BMC Oral Health indicated that iodine supports healthy teeth and gums. Meanwhile, a study that appeared in the journal Thyroid found that maintaining healthy iodine levels can support the growth of healthy, glowing hair.
 
Helps maintain healthy energy levels – It is important to stay alert and keep your energy levels up during a survival situation. According to a study that appeared in the medical journal Hippokratia, iodine can help you maintain optimal energy levels since it plays a crucial role in converting food into usable energy for the body. 

How to use Health Ranger’s Nascent Iodine**

Each drop of Health Ranger’s Nascent Iodine delivers 350 mcg of elemental iodine (233% of the Daily Value). This means that one bottle of our nascent iodine formula can keep you stocked for about 1,500 individual servings. Simply add one to three drops of Health Ranger's Nascent Iodine to a small glass of water and drink immediately. Our nascent iodine formula is best consumed around 15-20 minutes before a meal or on an empty stomach. Absorption into your body begins immediately upon drinking it. Be careful about taking iodine too late in the day as many people may experience a heightened sense of energy that makes restful sleep difficult at night. Always check with your healthcare provider before supplementing with iodine to determine exactly how much of it you need to consume.
