Nature's Richest Source of Iodine - Essential for Thyroid Health

Kelp is a nutrient-dense sea vegetable and one of nature's richest sources of iodine, an essential mineral that most people don't get enough of from their diet. Iodine is absolutely critical for thyroid function, which regulates metabolism, energy production, body temperature, and countless other bodily processes. Our premium Sea Kelp Powder from South African waters provides natural iodine along with a wealth of other minerals, vitamins, and antioxidants to support immune function, brain health, heart health, digestive wellness, and overall vitality.

Premium Quality South African Sea Kelp

100% Pure Sea Kelp Powder (RSA)

Our kelp is sustainably harvested from the pristine waters around South Africa, ensuring the highest quality and purity. Kelp (Laminaria species) is a type of large brown seaweed that grows in nutrient-rich ocean waters. It absorbs minerals and trace elements from the sea, making it one of the most mineral-dense foods on Earth. Our kelp powder is carefully processed to preserve its natural nutrient content and bioavailability.

Comprehensive Nutrient Profile

Kelp provides an exceptional array of nutrients including:

• Iodine: Essential for thyroid hormone production and metabolic function
• Vitamins: Vitamin K, Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, B-complex vitamins
• Minerals: Calcium, magnesium, potassium, iron, zinc, manganese, copper
• Antioxidants: Carotenoids, flavonoids, and unique marine compounds
• Trace Elements: Over 60 trace minerals from ocean water
• Fiber: Alginate and other beneficial fibers for digestive health

Scientifically-Supported Health Benefits

• Great Source of Iodine for Thyroid Function: Iodine is the most important nutrient for thyroid health. The thyroid gland uses iodine to produce thyroid hormones (T3 and T4) that regulate metabolism, energy production, body temperature, heart rate, brain development, and countless other functions. Iodine deficiency is common worldwide and can lead to hypothyroidism, goiter (enlarged thyroid), fatigue, weight gain, and metabolic dysfunction. Kelp provides natural, bioavailable iodine to support optimal thyroid function.
• Supports the Immune System: Kelp contains vitamins, minerals, and unique compounds that support immune function including vitamin C for immune cell production, zinc for immune response, antioxidants that protect immune cells, and polysaccharides with immune-modulating properties. The high nutrient density supports overall immune resilience and resistance to illness.
• Boosts Brain Function & Cognitive Health: Iodine is essential for brain development and cognitive function. Adequate iodine supports mental clarity and focus, memory and learning, neurotransmitter production, and protection against cognitive decline. The antioxidants in kelp also protect brain cells from oxidative damage.
• High in Antioxidants: Kelp is rich in antioxidants including carotenoids (beta-carotene, fucoxanthin) and flavonoids, which help fight against disease-causing free radicals. Antioxidant minerals such as manganese and zinc help combat oxidative stress, may help protect cardiovascular health, reduce inflammation, slow aging processes, and may help prevent cancer by protecting DNA from damage.
• Supports Heart Health & Cardiovascular Function: The antioxidants, minerals, and unique compounds in kelp support cardiovascular wellness by helping maintain healthy blood pressure, supporting healthy cholesterol levels, reducing arterial inflammation, improving blood vessel function, and providing potassium for heart rhythm regulation.
• Supports Digestive Health: Kelp contains alginate, a type of fiber that aids in digestion, promotes regular bowel movements, eases constipation, supports beneficial gut bacteria (prebiotic effect), and may help protect the stomach lining. The fiber content supports overall digestive wellness.
• May Improve Sensory Receptors: Some research suggests kelp may support sensory function including taste, smell, and other sensory receptors, potentially through its mineral and antioxidant content.
• Promotes Healthy Nails & Blood Vessels: The minerals in kelp, particularly calcium, magnesium, and trace elements, support nail strength and growth, prevent brittle nails, support blood vessel integrity and elasticity, and promote overall structural health.
• May Reduce Hair Loss: Kelp's rich mineral content, particularly iodine, iron, and zinc, supports healthy hair growth, may reduce hair loss related to thyroid dysfunction or nutrient deficiencies, strengthens hair follicles, and promotes thicker, healthier hair.
• May Help with Diabetes & Weight Management: Iodine supports thyroid function, which regulates metabolism and can influence weight. Some research suggests kelp may help with blood sugar regulation, support healthy metabolism, aid in weight management efforts, and improve insulin sensitivity. Those with diabetes should use under medical supervision.
• May Treat Gastrointestinal Ulcers: The alginate in kelp may help protect the stomach lining, reduce acid reflux, support healing of gastrointestinal ulcers, and provide soothing effects on the digestive tract.

Usage Instructions

Suggested Use: Take 1 to 2 capsules once daily with food.

CRITICAL - Do NOT Exceed Daily Dosage: Kelp is extremely high in iodine. While iodine is essential, too much can be harmful, especially for those with thyroid conditions. Never exceed the recommended dosage.

For Thyroid Conditions: If you have any thyroid condition (hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, Hashimoto's, Graves' disease), consult your healthcare provider before use and do not exceed 1 capsule daily without medical supervision.

Best Results: Consistent daily use supports optimal iodine levels and thyroid function. Most people notice improvements in energy and metabolism within 4-8 weeks.

Important Safety Information - CRITICAL FOR THYROID HEALTH

Do NOT exceed recommended dosage: Kelp is extremely high in iodine. Excessive iodine intake can cause thyroid dysfunction, particularly in those with existing thyroid conditions.

Consult a healthcare practitioner before use if you:

• Have ANY thyroid condition (hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, Graves' disease, thyroid nodules, or thyroid cancer)
• Take thyroid medications (levothyroxine, Synthroid, etc.) - kelp may interfere with medication effectiveness
• Take chronic medication
• Have diabetes (kelp may affect blood sugar levels)
• Have gout (kelp is high in purines)
• Have liver disease, kidney disease, or peptic ulcer disease
• Are scheduled for thyroid tests (high iodine can interfere with results)

Do NOT use if you:

• Are pregnant or trying to conceive (excessive iodine can harm fetal development)
• Are breastfeeding or nursing (can affect infant thyroid function)
• Have severe liver, kidney, or peptic ulcer disease

Keep out of reach of children.

Critical Notes:

• Kelp contains very high levels of iodine - one serving can provide several times the daily recommended intake
• Too much iodine can cause hyperthyroidism or worsen existing thyroid conditions
• Symptoms of iodine excess include thyroid swelling, palpitations, anxiety, insomnia, and weight changes
• If you experience any thyroid-related symptoms, discontinue use and consult a healthcare provider immediately
• Kelp may also contain heavy metals from ocean water - our product is tested for purity, but those with heavy metal sensitivities should use caution
