Kelp is very rich in vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and enzymes, being recognized for the high concentration of iodine it contains.

Kelp is a large, leafy seaweed belonging to the kelp family that grows in "forests" in the colder waters of the world's oceans. Kelp has been used for centuries as an important nutritional staple in Chinese, Japanese and Korean cuisine. It is also an excellent source of iodine, which has been shown to be essential for healthy thyroid function.

Kelp is a type of seaweed that grows in salt water near coastal fronts. Kelp is often called a superfood because it contains numerous healthy nutrients (minerals, vitamins and antioxidants) that can benefit your health and even improve various ailments. This algae has 10 times more minerals than plants that grow in soil. And most importantly, seaweed is an excellent source of iodine.

Kelp includes iodide, which supports thyroid function and thyroid hormones. Moreover, iodine regulates the nervous system, metabolism, energy circulation; improves skin condition and even cognitive activity. Kelp contains other nutrients beneficial for the immune system and digestion, such as magnesium, iron, calcium, vitamin A and others. Kelp is also an excellent source of antioxidants that can reduce inflammation and vitamin K, which is beneficial for blood clotting, bone and heart health.

Bioavailable iodine. It is the most well-known benefit. Kelp is rich in iodine, and everyone needs more iodine. The reason is the overwhelming amount of iodine antagonists present on planet earth today. These are bromine from bread and acidulated juices, chlorine from drinking water and from many other sources, and flowers from water and food.

Iodine antagonists interfere with the use and assimilation of iodine, causing widespread thyroid problems, especially in women. It is also the cause of many other health problems.

Fish and seafood are other good sources of bioavailable iodine. However, they contain too much mercury to be eaten regularly today. Iodized salt provides some iodine, but not enough, in most cases. In addition, the iodine in salt is not so well used.









Excellent source of vitamins and minerals: Kelp contains 46 minerals, 16 amino acids and 11 different vitamins. The predominant minerals are iodine, salt, iron, potassium, phosphorus and calcium. The main vitamins are vitamin A and niacin (vitamin B3).


 

The nutrients that our body benefits from consuming Kelp:

 

• Vitamin K - helps blood coagulation (prevents hemorrhages) and participates in bone formation;
• Vitamin B1 (thiamine) – helps to transform carbohydrates and fats into energy. It plays an important role in the transmission of nerve impulses;
• Vitamin B2 (riboflavin) – participates in the degradation of carbohydrates, fats and proteins;
• Vitamin B3 (niacin) – participates in the production of energy, the transmission of nerve impulses, the synthesis of fatty acids and some hormones (testosterone, estrogen, progesterone, cortisone, insulin, thyroxine).
• Vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid) – in the production of energy from fats and carbohydrates. The deficiency is manifested by fatigue, stinging in the limbs.
• Vitamin B9 (folic acid) - essential in the synthesis of amino acids and proteins. Participates in the formation of hemoglobin (pigment of red blood cells that carries oxygen to body cells). It is very important in the first months of pregnancy to prevent neural tube defects.
• Vitamin C - increases the body's immunity and has an antioxidant effect.
• Calcium - supports bone health.
• Magnesium - contributes to the production of energy at the cellular level and to the synthesis of proteins.
• Iron - essential in the production of hemoglobin (pigment of red blood cells that carries oxygen to body cells).
• Phosphorus - intervenes in the formation of bones and helps maintain the acid-base balance.
• Potassium - acts on neuromuscular excitability, the regularity of heart rhythm and the body's water content (blood pressure).
• Sodium - contributes to the proper functioning of the nervous and muscular system.
• Zinc - is indispensable for cell multiplication, healing, reproduction and fertility.

 

Kelp Iodine Benefits

 

• normal functioning of the thyroid gland (through organic iodine intake)
• supporting the digestive function, through:
• maintaining normal intestinal transit (supports water absorption and the formation of viscous colloidal solutions or gels that favor normal intestinal peristalsis)
• favoring the normal evacuation of intestinal gases
• support in balancing transit changes
• maintaining normal physiological pH at the gastric level
• supporting the normal metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins, fats and maintaining the hydro-electrolyte balance by supporting the normal functioning of the adrenal glands
• maintaining the good functioning of the immune system
• balancing the need for minerals and vitamins
• supporting the normal platelet aggregation process
• favoring the liver's normal detoxification of heavy metals and various final compounds of metabolism
• maintaining normal cognitive function
• good functioning of hematopoiesis, growth of maternal tissue during pregnancy, normal synthesis of amino acids and normal metabolism of homocysteine
