Description

DESCRIPTION

Each tablet contains 45 mg of processed seaweed harvested

from the North Atlantic and standardized to provide 225 mcg

of iodine per tablet.

FUNCTIONS

Seaweed (kelp) is rich in vitamins, including B-12, and

minerals, especially iodine. Iodine is a structural component of

the hormones thyroxin and triiodothyronine. These hormones

control metabolism throughout the body. Proper functioning

of thyroid metabolism depends upon optimum dietary levels

of iodine. Iodine deficiency, goiter, is a worldwide health

problem. The World Health Organization estimates that

over 800 million people are at risk. Seaweed (kelp) has been

traditionally used to treat a variety of functional disorders,

ranging from goiter to constipation. Recent scientific studies

indicate that seaweed may also be an effective stimulator of

the immune system, as well as a detoxifying agent. Seaweed’s

polysaccharide content, e.g. fucans, seems to be partially

responsible for some of these positive benefits.

INDICATIONS

Standardized kelp tablets may be a useful dietary supplement

for those who wish to supplement their iodine consumption

or who wish to take advantage of the benefits of this marine

plant.

SUGGESTED USE

Adults take 1 tablet daily with meals or as directed by a
