Lugol's Vs. Nascent Iodine
Mark David (California) on 05/12/2022:
Nascent iodine is too weak to do much good. Lugol's iodine is by far the best formulation of iodine to take, which has both forms of iodine that our bodies must have to function properly: Potassium Iodide, and Iodine. The following link is from David Tomen, a Nootropics expert, on the importance of Lugol's iodine and why we must have both iodine forms, and why Nascent doesn't make the grade.

I just read your very informative article about Lugol's Iodine. Would I be able to get an answer if there is a difference between Nascent Iodine and Lugol's Iodine? ..... I went to 4 different Dr's to get my thyroid levels checked, about 2 years ago, and all the test came back normal. But after researching it, I realized there was something wrong with my thyroid I had all the classic symptoms of a low thyroid. After more research I bought the Nacsent Iodine and started taking it, but found that taking it orally was not possible for me, too many side effects. I started applying it to my skin which worked much better for me. I started out with 4 drops, 1 each to my inner thighs, and the other 2, one each to my inner wrist. The first 6-8 months they disappeared rather quickly, sometimes within 2-3 hours. I used this method for about 2 years and have never felt better. After that, I only used it on my wrists, and now it depends, most times one drop will do it. But after reading your article on Lugol's I am wondering if it would be better if I used "it" instead of the Nascent Iodine. I very much would appreciate your help. I would use it in the same manner. Thank you very much. Kitty.
