The large amounts of iodine found in kelp are important in the treatment of an under-active thyroid. Consequently, kelp may contribute to weight loss if the weight gain is directly related to thyroid disorders. Containing align, a fiber that absorbs toxins and nutrients from the digestive system, kelp helps improve digestion, stimulate kidney function, increase circulation and purify the blood. Kelp has also been known to treat inflamed joints and tissues caused by arthritis and rheumatism. Furthermore, kelp enhances the immune system and eliminates the negative effects that stress may have on the body.
Recommendations Take two capsules with two meals daily.
Due to its high iodine content, Kelp should be used sparingly if a thyroid condition exists and consult your health care professional.
