Sea kelp supplement

This dietary supplement contains a high-dose kelp extract standardised to 0.15% iodine. This corresponds to 300µg iodine per tablet and daily dose and covers 200% of the daily requirement.

Sea kelp as a natural source of iodine

The brown alga Kelp is considered to be one of the most nutritious algae and was therefore at times even called "superfood". In addition to B vitamins, calcium, copper, sodium, sulphur and zinc, it possesses an outstanding amount of the essential trace element iodine.

Iodine for the thyroid

The best known function of iodine is that it supports the thyroid by contributing to normal production of thyroid hormones.
Iodine ingested through food or dietary supplements is absorbed in the intestines and then built into the thyroid hormones T3 and T4.
The special thing about iodine from sea kelp is the form in which it is present: monoiodotyrosine. This is an amino acid produced from tyrosine by iodination and is the direct precursor of the thyroid hormones T3 and T4.

Further functions of iodine

In connection with the thyroid, iodine also supports the energy metabolism, in which the macronutrients (carbohydrates, fats and proteins) are converted into energy. In addition to the importance of iodine for the thyroid, the trace element is needed for the function of the nervous system and cognitive abilities. Cognitive functions include intelligence, thinking, perception, speech and memory.
If the skin is dry or flaky, it may also be helpful to have the iodine level checked, as an iodine deficiency can lead to skin problems.
