Answers to the questions we hear most from wholesale partners, private label clients, and health practitioners.
About Our Nascent Iodine
What is nascent iodine?
Nascent iodine is a highly bioavailable, atomic form of iodine held in a liquid suspension. Unlike molecular iodine or iodine bound to salts like potassium iodide, nascent iodine is in its atomic state — meaning it requires no conversion by the body and is immediately available for absorption into the bloodstream and thyroid.
What makes your nascent iodine different from competitors?
Nascent iodine is a highly bioavailable, atomic form of iodine held in a liquid suspension. Unlike molecular iodine or iodine bound to salts like potassium iodide, nascent iodine is in its atomic state — meaning it requires no conversion by the body and is immediately available for absorption into the bloodstream and thyroid.
Why is the product alcohol-based instead of glycerin-based?
Alcohol provides superior absorption, longer shelf life, higher iodine concentration per drop, and greater stability. Glycerin-based products tend to thicken and degrade over time, and glycerin binds to proteins — creating complexes too large to fit into iodine receptors. Our 192-proof USP-grade ethanol is non-GMO, gluten-free, allergen-free, and kosher-certified.
How does your nascent iodine compare to Lugol’s solution?
Lugol’s is potassium iodide — the body must dissociate the potassium from the iodide before it can use the iodine, which delays availability and reduces efficiency. Our nascent iodine is immediately bioavailable with no conversion needed, is gentler on the stomach, carries no risk of thyroiditis from salt compound buildup, and provides superior detoxification of toxic halides.
How can I tell if a "nascent iodine" product is genuine?
True nascent iodine requires pure elemental iodine processed through an electromagnetic activation method. If a product lists “potassium iodide” in its ingredients, it is not nascent iodine regardless of what the label says. The term “nascent” is not FDA-regulated, which allows some brands to use it purely as a marketing term.
What is the shelf life?
Three years with proper storage. Even as the electromagnetic charge decreases slowly over time, the product remains safe for consumption and still contains pure iodine superior to potassium iodide alternatives. Amber glass bottles protect against light and oxygen interaction.
Is the product vegan, non-GMO, and gluten-free?
Yes. Our nascent iodine is vegan, non-GMO, gluten-free, allergen-free, and made with kosher-certified alcohol. It contains only two ingredients: USP-grade elemental iodine and 192-proof ethyl alcohol.
Manufacturing & Quality
What is your manufacturing process?
Pure USP-grade iodine crystals are dissolved in high-quality 192-proof ethyl alcohol, then placed in electrolytic baths and exposed to a highly concentrated electrical current for 30 minutes. This takes place in a facility specifically designed to create a Tesla-activated electromagnetic field. The process transforms molecular iodine into its atomic (nascent) state with increased electronegativity — verified through spectrophotometer testing.
What certifications do you hold?
Our facility is cGMP-certified and FDA-registered. Our raw materials are USP-grade and USA-sourced. The alcohol is kosher-certified, non-GMO verified, and gluten-free certified. Our electromagnetic production process is the only patented method for consumable nascent iodine.
CAN YOU PROVIDE CERTIFICATES OF ANALYSIS?
Yes. Certificates of Analysis (COAs) are available upon request after an order is placed. We also provide Safety Data Sheets (SDS) and supplement facts panels as needed for your regulatory requirements.
WHY IS IODINE CONCENTRATION CAPPED AT 2%?
The DEA regulates iodine tincture concentration at a maximum of 2% w/v. We manufacture at this maximum permitted concentration, providing 350mcg of iodine per drop — the highest potency legally available.
HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN MANUFACTURING?
Over 15 years. We are the originators of consumable nascent iodine in modern times, with our process rooted directly in Edgar Cayce’s atomic iodine methodology. Many brands currently selling “nascent iodine” are or were our private label clients.
Wholesale & Private Label
WHAT WHOLESALE AND PRIVATE LABEL SERVICES DO YOU OFFER?
We offer white labeling, bulk purchasing, private labeling, sample bottles, label printing and application, drop shipping, and marketing support. Whether you need a few cases under your brand or large-volume bulk supply, we can tailor a program to your needs.
WHAT IS THE MINIMUM ORDER QUANTITY?
Contact us to discuss MOQs for your specific requirements. We work with partners of all sizes, from independent practitioners to large-volume distributors.
DO YOU OFFER PRIVATE LABELING AND WHITE LABELING?
Yes. We offer full private label services including custom label design, printing, and application — all handled in-house. You can provide your own label artwork or work with us on design.
DO YOU OFFER DROP SHIPPING?
Yes, we offer drop shipping direct to your customers. This service is currently available within the United States. For international distribution, we ship wholesale orders in bulk.
WHAT BOTTLE SIZES AND PACKAGING FORMATS ARE AVAILABLE?
Standard retail sizes include quarter-ounce (sample) and one-ounce bottles. Bulk quantities are available in gallon, five-gallon, and fifty-gallon drum formats. All retail bottles are amber or cobalt blue glass with glass dropper closures.
Usage & Dosing
HOW SHOULD I TAKE NASCENT IODINE?
Start with one drop in a half-ounce of water on an empty stomach (30 minutes before or one hour after eating). Monitor how you feel during the first week, then gradually increase to two drops per day. Standard dosing ranges from one to ten drops per day, split between morning and early afternoon.
HOW MUCH IODINE IS IN EACH DROP?
Each drop of our 2% nascent iodine contains 350mcg of iodine — approximately twice the standard recommended daily allowance.
WHY SHOULDN'T I TAKE IT AFTER 3 PM?
Our nascent iodine supports thyroid function and energy production. Taking it later in the day may increase energy levels enough to interfere with sleep. We recommend splitting doses between morning and early afternoon for best results.
ARE THERE ANY SIDE EFFECTS?
Some users experience mild headaches during the first two to three days, which typically resolve as the body adjusts. This is often attributed to detoxification as iodine displaces toxic halides. Heart racing, lethargy, or stomach cramps may indicate the dose is too high — reduce your dose and dilute in more water.
CAN I TAKE IT WITH THYROID MEDICATION?
Consult your healthcare provider. Some customers have reported being able to reduce synthetic thyroid medication over time, but this should only be done under medical supervision with comprehensive blood testing — including TSH, T3, reverse T3, T4, and thyroid antibodies. TSH alone is not sufficient.
IS IT SAFE FOR CHILDREN OR DURING PREGNANCY?
Adequate iodine is critical for development, but dosing varies. Consult a healthcare provider before giving nascent iodine to children or taking it during pregnancy or nursing. We do not have medical personnel on staff and cannot provide specific medical advice.
Ordering & Shipping
DO YOU SHIP INTERNATIONALLY?
Yes, we ship wholesale orders internationally and have delivered to customers across the globe including the UK, Australia, Germany, and other markets. International shipping costs vary by destination — contact us for a quote.
WHAT ARE YOUR PRODUCTION LEAD TIMES?
Lead times vary by order size and current production schedules. Contact us for current availability and estimated timelines for your specific order requirements.
HOW IS THE PRODUCT PACKAGED FOR SHIPPING?
For larger orders, bottles are packed in cases of 96 units, palletized, and shrink-wrapped for secure transit. Smaller orders are individually wrapped in foam and cushioned with packing material in protective boxes. Glass bottles require careful handling, and our packaging at every scale is designed to prevent breakage in transit.
Regulatory & Compliance
IS NASCENT IODINE FDA-APPROVED?
Nascent iodine is classified as a dietary supplement, not a drug. Like all dietary supplements, it is not FDA-approved to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Our facility is FDA-registered and our manufacturing follows CGMP standards. These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.
CAN I SELL THIS PRODUCT IN MY COUNTRY?
We have shipped to many international markets. However, dietary supplement regulations vary by country. It is the buyer’s responsibility to verify compliance with local regulations regarding importation and sale of iodine supplements. We can provide COAs, SDS, and other documentation to support your regulatory filings.
