Extra Info

Seaweed has been used medicinally in Asia for over 5000 years. The sea vegetables (of which there are numerous species) have been used in traditional medicine, cosmetics and consumed as a food. In the 1860s, it was discovered that some seaweeds serve as thyroid stimulants. This effect is due to the high iodine levels found in plants such as Kelp. The thyroid gland needs dietary iodine to produce the thyroid hormones which regulate metabolism in every cell of the body and play a role in virtually all physiological functions. In the United States it is rare to have an underactive thyroid brought about by an iodine deficiency due to the fortification of salt with iodine (iodized salt). However, recent trends show that people are getting less iodine dietarily due to a reduction of salt in their diet.

Warning

Consult your health care professional if using Kelp for thyroid imbalance. Keep out of reach of children. Do not take if pregnant or nursing. Discontinue if unusual symptoms occur. Do not exceed recommended dose unless under the guidance of a health care professional. Not recommended for long-term use without periodic breaks.
