In this video, you'll learn the nootropic brain benefits of Iodine. Including different forms of Iodine like Lugol's solution. And why supplementing with nascent iodine is a waste of time and money.
Iodine is critical to optimal cognition and brain health. In fact, your nootropic stack may not work as well if you're deficient in Iodine. And most in our Western culture are low in Iodine.
In this video you'll find the recommended dosage, type of Iodine to get as a supplement, and possible side effects.
Iodine is an essential trace element that combines with the amino acid tyrosine to form thyroid hormones T4 and T3. Within your brain, T4 is converted to T3 by selenium which then affects gene expression controlling metabolism within cells. Iodine is critical for activating the catecholamines dopamine, norepinephrine and epinephrine.
Iodine deficiency is recognized as the most common cause of preventable brain damage in the world. Even moderate deficiency results in a loss of at least 10 - 15 IQ points. And the reason I’ve added Iodine to our list of essential nootropics.

KZfaq turned the comments section off and I was not aware of it. I turned it back on when someone alerted me to it.

I recently had a blood panel done, which included TSH / T4, the markers showed they were in healthy range, but I've been struggling with low mood/anxiety/lack of sleep/brain fog etc and tried a few drops of lugols iodine the last few days and feel a good bit better. Not sure why it's helping as my TSH/T4 seemed ok? Thyroid problems and iodine seeme to be all I read about, but I think it must help other stuff as well.

Andrew, TSH and T4 do NOT indicate thyroid health. They are useless measurements. You need Free T3, Free T4, and Reverse T3. Free T3 is the thyroid found in everyone of your cells body and brain. I suggest checking out the website Stop the Thyroid Madness and look for her page on how to read your own labs. Because if you had that short term success with iodine it sounds like you are hypothyroid. And will not get relief from low mood/anxiety/sleep/brain fog until you get your thyroid levels optimal.

Good day sir, Thank you for the information about iodine, you mentioned that it is "fat soluble" and want to make sure if that's an unintentional mistake, everywhere I read it is said that iodine is water soluble. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Thank you❤

Iodine is technically water soluble but does not dissolve easily in water. Best to take it with a healthy fat or oil or with a meal to make sure it gets into your system.

I have J. Crow's 2% and 5% iodine. How many drops should I take daily? Thank you for an informative video. I have a chronic inflammation (arthritis) and need a good memory to pass the CA bar exam.

I recommend 1 drop per day. And Dr. Al Sears recommends 2 crops per day. So take your pick between those two options. 😊
