Natural Factors Iodine from Kelp, 180 Tablets, 750 mcg of Iodine per Tablet, HIGH POTENCY, Promotes Healthy Thyroid Function, Proudly Canadian

Kelp (Fucus vesiculosis) is a sea vegetable that is a concentrated source of important minerals, particularly iodine, potassium, calcium and magnesium as well as many trace minerals. Kelp is a good source of iodine, essential for proper thyroid function that helps to regulate the body’s metabolism. By boosting thyroid function, kelp may contribute to thermogenesis (the body’s fat burning ability).

Kelp contains iodine, a component of thyroid hormone, the hormone responsible for settling the body’s metabolic rate. Some cases of hypothyroidism can be attributed to lack of iodine, and causes a swollen thyroid (goiter). Hypothyroid individuals experience many symptoms due to a lack of thyroid hormone including fatigue, weight gain and frequent colds and flus. Kelp’s mineral content also supports the brain, nerves, vessels, hair, skin and nails. It can protect the body from damage due to radiation for example from the sun or due to cell therapy. Natural health practitioners, for a variety of conditions including hypothyroidism, hair loss, obesity, ulcers, constipation, radiation sickness and poor mineral status, recommend kelp.
