Kelp is the name given to a whole variety of seaweeds. It can almost be called a herb from the sea. It contains large amounts of organic iodine & traces of every known mineral & element, which act as catalysts in the body & stimulate vital enzyme reactions. The iodine content of Kelp means it is of great benefit to thyroid metabolism. Kelp & seafoods are the most reliable natural sources of iodine because certain vegetables which contain iodine also contain substances which interfere with its absorption by the body. Although a normal diet is believed to contribute 150-170&181;g of iodine daily, the prevalence of iodine deficiency throughout the world leads us to believe that many people are not getting this amount without supplementation. Kelp tablets are high in iodine & other minerals. The dried kelp used in our tablets is harvested from the relatively unpolluted areas around Icel&. To facilitate absorption, a liquid extract of bladderwrack is added, which gives the equivalent of 32mg extra kelp. This liquid extract facilitates rapid absorption by the body, & ensures that the minerals break down correctly. One tablet will provide on average 120% of the RDA for Iodine. Those who may choose extra iodine are: &8226; people living in areas where the soil is iodine poor; &8226; people eating large amounts of foods that block the absorption or use of iodine by the body, such as cabbages & turnips; &8226; those with an under-active thyroid gl&.
