What is Sea Kelp and why is it important to health? 

Organic Sea Kelp is the name given to a whole variety of natural seaweeds. In nature, it is a type of large, brown seaweed that grows in shallow, nutrient-rich saltwater near coastal fronts around the world. It contains large amounts of natural and organic iodine as well as a wide variety of nutrients, complex compounds, vitamins and carotenoids to support general wellbeing. Traces of almost all the minerals and elements that are catalysts for enzyme reactions in your body can also be found in Sea Kelp.

It is an amazing natural whole food that is dried and powdered to create our 100% natural supplements. As well as all the other goodies it contains, the Iodine content of Sea Kelp means it is of great benefit to thyroid function and metabolism. Iodine is also very important for cognitive function (thinking and memory), as well as the health of your skin, and your metabolism.

Why is it important to supplement with Iodine?

Low levels of Iodine can seriously impact daily life, especially around thyroid health, brain fog, metabolism and normal skin health. The UK recommended daily amount of Iodine for adults is 150µg. Although a well-balanced diet can contribute 150µg of Iodine per day, there is still a prevalence of iodine deficiency throughout the world.

This indicates that a lot of people are not getting what they need without supplementation. This could be caused by things like restricted diets, issues with thyroid health and varying amounts of iodine in soils where vegetables and grains grow. Those who eat a strict vegan diet may be particularly vulnerable to a deficiency without fortified foods or supplements, as many natural dietary sources come from dairy produce, eggs or fish.

This may seem high, but it’s for good reason! The human body absorbs approx. 30% of Iodine from seaweed. So you can take just 1 capsule per day and be sure you are getting what you need. Just be sure not to exceed the stated dose.
