Iodine in biology air should not exceed 1 mg/m³ (eight-hour time-weighted average). When mixed with ammonia and water, elemental iodine forms nitrogen triiodide, which is extremely shock-sensitive and can explode unexpectedly. Excessive iodine intake presents symptoms similar to those of iodine deficiency. Commonly encountered symptoms are abnormal growth of the thyroid gland and disorders in functioning, as well as in growth of the organism as a whole. Iodide toxicity is similar to (but not the same as) toxicity to ions of the other halogens, such as bromides or fluorides. Excess bromine and fluorine can prevent successful iodine uptake, storage and use in organisms,
Nascent iodine (dietary supplement) a registered trademark of Global Healing Center. Their formula is made of elemental iodine in glycerin aqueous solution. They state "Historically, nascent iodine has been made using electricity to break iodine’s diatomic bond and create a single, highly energized atom. However, it is difficult to use this method on the scale necessary to produce sufficient quantities". They use nanoemulsion technology (smaller drops) for their Iodine formula. Alex Jones's "Infowars Life" brand uses the same formula. The name "Magnascent" is a registered trademark of John Brookshire, owner of the 2004 nascent iodine patent.
