5% Nascent Iodine Drops — Mid-Strength Ionic Iodine in Purified Water & Vegetable Glycerin

5% Nascent Iodine from Lugol's Original's is an atomized, ionic-form iodine supplement containing potassium iodide (KI) in a base of purified water and food-grade vegetable glycerin — no alcohol, no artificial additives. This is a distinct formulation from our Lugol's Solution line, which uses molecular iodine and potassium iodide in a water-only base.

What Is Nascent Iodine?

Nascent Iodine is a category of liquid iodine supplement in which iodine — an essential trace mineral your body uses for normal thyroid hormone production — is prepared in an atomized or ionic form, typically in a glycerin or water base. Lugol's Original's Nascent Iodine is manufactured in the U.S.A. using high-purity iodine in purified water with food-grade vegetable glycerin.

What makes the 5% strength distinct:

• ✔ Concentration: 5% — 2.5x the iodine per drop vs. our 2% formula
• ✔ Base: Potassium iodide (KI) in purified water + food-grade vegetable glycerin — no alcohol
• ✔ Packaging: Amber glass dropper bottle — no plastic contact with the solution
• ✔ Supply: 2oz bottle = approximately 30-day supply at standard serving
• ✔ Origin: Made in the U.S.A. by Lugol's Original's

Who This Is For

• Users who prefer a glycerin-based, alcohol-free liquid iodine over a water-only formula
• Established ionic iodine users who have confirmed their preferred serving size
• Clean-label buyers who want a traceable, minimal-ingredient ionic iodine source
• Long-term supply buyers who want a shelf-stable iodine source in amber glass

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Nascent Iodine and Lugol's Solution?

Lugol's Solution uses molecular iodine and potassium iodide in purified water. Nascent Iodine uses potassium iodide (KI) in purified water and food-grade vegetable glycerin, with no alcohol. The glycerin base produces a milder, smoother flavor — the choice is typically a matter of personal preference or practitioner recommendation.

How is Nascent Iodine made?

Manufactured in the U.S.A. using high-purity iodine in an atomized/ionic form, suspended in purified water with food-grade vegetable glycerin. No alcohol, no artificial additives, no fillers.

Is 5% Nascent Iodine shelf-stable?

Yes — stable when stored in a cool, dark location away from direct light and heat. Store the amber glass dropper bottle away from direct light and heat.
