Heart of the Week: Violet Iodine

I know that some women, especially those with fibrocystic breasts, suffer from premenstrual breast tenderness, aches, swelling, and heaviness. Our breasts, however, should NOT be a painful burden, but rather a beautiful symbol of our feminine power + ability to nurture life. 

Violet Iodine, my latest Heart of the Week, supports breast health by encouraging cell turnover in the tissue. Any woman of menstruating age can take the hormone-free iodine supplements (they're very small, easy to swallow, and tasteless!), which can help breasts from developing dense, fibrocystic tissue.

The daily supplements essentially get to work when two forms of iodine (iodide + iodate) interact with the acidic environment in the stomach to form molecular iodine. This molecular iodine then binds to fatty molecules that help deliver the iodine directly to the breast tissue where it’s needed!

If you'd like to try the supplements, you can celebrate "The Year of the Boob" + receive yours for 50% off on their site until January 31st!
