Just a note that the discovery of a nascent iodine dietary supplement is a recent development. If your healthcare provider has never heard of consumable nascent iodine, that is not unexpected. Nascent iodine is known in the scientific and medical communities, but not in a consumable form. There are at least three patents in the marketplace which reference using nascent iodine in various ways, but not as a consumable product. Our manufacturer’s patent is the first and only patent for consumable iodine. Other non-consumable forms of nascent iodine have very short lifespans and have very limited uses. One process produces nascent iodine in an electrolytic bath for coating pacemakers, catheters, and other devices that enter the human body. The nascent iodine is produced in the electrolytic bath and coats the device to completely sterilize it. The other two patents involve producing nascent iodine for transdermal application by mixing chemicals to produce nascent iodine. These are very short-lived, as well, in their process. They produce a product for application on the skin as opposed to a nascent iodine dietary supplement.
When you talk with your doctor be sure to explain this is not potassium iodine or other non-consumable forms currently available on the market.
2. How does this compare/contrast to Lugol’s solution?
The biggest difference is that our iodine is the only patented consumable form of iodine, designed for maximum absorption an effectiveness. Thyroid Warrior is safe to use as directed and is non-toxic. Thyroid Warrior is an electromagnetic nascent iodine and Lugol’s is potassium iodide imitation.
Normally iodine is found as 2 molecules of iodine paired together and this is called “I2”. Unfortunately, I2 has been shown to be difficult for the body to process and as a result, doctor in the past have used potassium iodide with I2 to supplement iodine with limited success. In fact, iodized salt is table salt in which potassium iodide is added in small parts. One problem with potassium iodide is that it can cause inflammation in the thyroid.
The word “nascent” means newborn. Nascent iodine is a special form of iodine that is made by taking molecular iodine, I2 and exposing it to a strong magnetic field. This form of iodine does not cause congestion in the thyroid gland like other forms of iodine and because it is very bioavailable, you will only need to take it in small amounts. The body can easily eliminate this form of iodine through the kidneys if you take more than your body needs and it is not toxic.
Thyroid Warrior Nascent Iodine, is a consumable form of nascent iodine and is not produced chemically. It is produced electromagnetically. For this reason, our product has a long shelf life and can be taken internally to provide nascent iodine to the body safely. In fact, our manufacturer’s patent is the first and only patent for consumable iodine. Other non-consumable forms of nascent iodine have very short lifespans and have limited uses.

5. What if I’ve had a thyroidectomy? Can I take Thyroid Warrior if my thyroid has been removed?
We always recommend you consult with your health professional before taking this or any other product. We do not have any medical personnel on staff and cannot provide medical advice.
What makes Thyroid Warrior so unique is that is has been stabilized into a state of maximum bioavailability and absorption – it will not require your thyroid gland to convert it into a usable form. It’s also easily absorbed by the skin, saliva glands and other glands in the body to utilize our iodine immediately. Our formula is highly concentrated so just a few drops is all it takes.
6. What if I don’t have any thyroid issues? Can I still benefit from taking Thyroid Warrior?
Iodine is an essential trace mineral and is a critical component of the thyroid hormones triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4). Hormones like T3 and T4 regulate the metabolic cells and play an important role in early growth and development of organs like the brain. A deficiency and lack of intake of iodine leads to insufficient hormone production, which can adversely affect the kidney, heart, liver and the brain.

The 8 healthy benefits of iodine include optimizing energy levels, boosts immunity, regulates the metabolic rate, removes toxic chemicals, helps to prevent certain types of cancers, prevents impaired development and growth in children, supports healthy skin and nails, prevents enlarged thyroid gland.
A deficiency and lack of intake of iodine leads to insufficient hormone production, which can adversely affect the kidney, heart, liver and the brain.
Iodine deficiency includes many symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, memory problems, thinning hair, constipation, depression, difficulty losing weight, headaches, dry skin, muscle weakness and joint stiffness.

7. Can I take this with my medications?
We always recommend you consult with your health professional before taking this or any other product. We do not have any medical personnel on staff and cannot provide medical advice.
We do have customers that have reported back positive health benefits using iodine in combination with medications, but definitely check with your health professional before taking this or any other product with medication.
8. Is this product good for an underactive thyroid?
We always recommend you consult with your health professional before taking this or any other product. We do not have any medical personnel on staff and cannot provide medical advice.
Here’s what the American Thyroid Association says about iodine. “Iodine is an element that is needed for the production of thyroid hormone. The body does not make iodine, so it is an essential part of your diet. Iodine is found in various foods… If you don’t have enough iodine in your body, you cannot make enough thyroid hormone. Thus, iodine deficiency can lead to enlargement of the thyroid, hypothyroidism and intellectual disabilities in infants and children whose mothers were iodine deficient during pregnancy.”
Another thing to keep in mind about Thyroid Warrior, is that it’s an electromagnetic nascent iodine which makes it bioavailable. Any excess iodine not utilized by the body can be excreted through the urine.
Here’s a study that showed small amounts of supplementary iodine cause slight but significant changes in thyroid hormone function in predisposed individuals with Hashimoto’s.
9. What if you have adrenal issues?

One journal in June 1999 reported “Thyroid hormones exert profound effects on the energy metabolism.”
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0014579399006420
“Thyroid hormones are the major endocrine regulators of metabolic rate, and their hyper-metabolic effects are widely recognized. Thyroid hormone status has a profound impact on mitochondria, the organelles responsible for the majority of cellular adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production.”
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18279015
“Adenosine 5'-triphosphate, or ATP, is the principal molecule for storing and transferring energy in cells. It is often referred to as the energy currency of the cell and can be compared to storing money in a bank. ATP can be used to store energy for future reactions or be withdrawn to pay for reactions when energy is required by the cell. Animals store the energy obtained from the breakdown of food as ATP. Likewise, plants capture and store the energy they derive from light during photosynthesis in ATP molecules.”

A study in 2003 reported, “Thyroid hormone stimulates Na-K-ATPase activity and its plasma membrane insertion in rats.”

Stable iodine has been used to treat hyperthyroidism for over a century.
11. Are there any side effects from taking Thyroid Warrior?
One of the most common side effects occurs in the first two or three days of heavy use of Thyroid Warrior Iodine, and that is a very mild headache. This usually goes away after the first two or three days, and often there is a report that "brain fog" clears up with this use. Thyroid Warrior Iodine supplies iodine to the thyroid in a way that is very easy to be utilized by the thyroid, and many people report that they feel results right away.
12. How much Thyroid Warrior should I take?
One drop of 2% Thyroid Warrior Iodine equals 350mcg, or a about twice the recommended daily allowance for the average person, though experts believe the recommended daily allowance may be insufficient for many. If you are iodine deficient, and looking to increase the iodine in your body, then you may want to take more, perhaps 3 to 5 drops per day. Your health care provider may recommend Thyroid Warrior Iodine to help with a specific health challenge, they will know the suggested dosage for such.
13. How should I take this product?
This iodine seems to work best on an empty stomach in 3-6 ounces of filtered water. It is also best to divide up the amount, taking it a few times during the day, rather than all at once. Many people find that taking it before breakfast, mid-morning, and mid-afternoon is most effective. Some find that taking it in the evening interferes with their sleep. Please be aware that wakefulness may be the result of taking Thyroid Warrior Iodine in the late afternoon or evening.
