Iodine is essential for prostate health. Every cell in the body requires iodine. You can't make enough thyroid hormones without it, yet many of us don't get enough. With the intake of dietary iodine having decreased by more than 50 percent in the U.S. over the last 40 years, health issues are beginning to result.(1,2) Since this decline in iodine intake, the number of men with prostate issues has risen. Could iodine deficiency be contributing?
The body's endocrine glands rely on iodine to function, the prostate, thyroid, pancreas, breasts, ovaries and the uterus. Iodine concentrates in these tissues, to maintain the structure of glands like the prostate. (3)
When iodine levels are sufficient, these glands remain healthy with normal tissue structure. But in the presence of an iodine deficiency, the glands begin to develop cysts. If the deficiency is allowed to continue, the fluid within the cysts solidifies and becomes nodules. Prolonged iodine deficiency can result in hyperplasia, which precedes cancer. The final result of this enlarging of the tissues is cancer.

Research has found that countries with higher iodine intakes tend to have a lower incidence of prostate cancer. In Japan, a nation that consumes high-iodine foods regularly, men show lower rates of prostate cancer in comparison to their U.S. counterparts.
The Japanese diet is notably high in iodine-rich sources. With an intake of iodine estimated at 25 times higher than that of U.S. intake, iodine consumption is undoubtedly a protective factor. (4)
Studies Show that Men with BPH Can Benefit from Increasing Iodine Intake.
Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), better known as prostate gland enlargement, has unpleasant symptoms that can begin mild and become more severe with time. It is a common ailment in the aging population of men. But iodine can help alleviate the discomfort of BPH.
Iodine supplementation has been shown to lessen the symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in animals when administered in low doses. (5) In men with BPH, 5 mg daily of iodine solution improved urine flow and reduced PSA values over an eight-month period. (6) This study is excellent news as it demonstrates that men can have control over their prostate health by consuming iodine supplements like Thyroid Warrior. †
The PSA discussed in the study above stands for prostate-specific antigen. It is a protein that can be measured in the blood to determine the health of the prostate. A low PSA value is an indicator of prostate health. A higher PSA value is an indicator of a prostate condition, some benign like prostatitis or BPH, and some life-threatening such as prostate cancer.

Nodule Growth and Prostate Cancer.
Addressing an iodine deficiency can halt the progression of cysts and nodules, advancing through a change in a structure called hyperplasia, a precursor for cancer. These prostate nodules often begin to form in response to inflammation in the body. Fortunately, not all nodules are malignant, but some do result in prostate cancer, which is reason enough to avoid nodule development.
Research has shown that iodine can suppress the growth of xenografts of human prostate cancer in nude mice (mice with weak immunes systems.) (8) The takeaway from this is positive. Iodine seems to prevent prostate cancer cells from increasing their rate of growth, even in the presence of a weakened immune system.
Thyroid Warrior Electromagnetic Nascent Iodine
There are several forms of iodine on the market, molecular iodine (I2), potassium iodide, and nascent iodine. Thyroid Warrior is the most effective form of iodine available because it's a next generation, electromagnetic nascent iodine designed for consumption. †
Molecular iodine (I2), while safe for human consumption, is difficult for the human body to process. Potassium iodide can cause inflammation, hypertension, and cardiovascular issues when it is consumed in the form of iodized table salt. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends limiting salt intake to 5 grams per day and even less for those with hypertension. Because of this, iodized salt is not an ideal source of iodine. †

Thyroid Warrior Nascent Iodine is sourced using the highest quality, pure iodine crystals, which have been forged thousands of feet below the earth’s surface from underwater brine wells. It is made using an electromagnetic field, which changes the mineral’s atomic state, making the iodine easier for your body to absorb and use immediately. †
Thyroid Warrior Nascent Iodine is similar to the precursor form of iodine that is known to convert into thyroid hormones in the body. Because of this, the human body can recognize and absorb this form of iodine more easily, meaning you can use less and get more of the amazing health benefits associated with iodine. (9) Also, any excess iodine is easily removed by your body, making Thyroid Warrior 100% safe to use as directed. †
