Solgar Kelp tablets are a natural source of Iodine. Iodine is a vital mineral for thyroid function and healthy metabolism. Low iodine levels may lead to fatigue and may compromise your body's ability to maintain a healthy body weight. Solgar Kelp uses premium quality Kelp with guaranteed levels of iodine in every tablet.
Kelp is commonly referred to as seaweed and grows along coastlines around the world. Botanically it is classified as algae. It is a rich source of natural vitamins and minerals, including essential trace minerals. Kelp is dependent upon the sea for its nourishment -- an excellent source since the sea is the repository of all the minerals that have been washed from the land through the millennia. The plant can grow as much as two feet per day.
Kelp is especially high in iodine, which must be present for proper glandular function (especially your thyroid gland, which contains about 20 percent of the body's iodine reserves) and metabolism. Kelp also contains iron, sodium, phosphorus and calcium, as well as magnesium and potassium. Kelp is a good source of vitamins A, B1, B2, C, D and E, plus amino acids. Kelp also makes a popular salt substitute. Because the plant’s nutrients come in a natural form, they are easily assimilated by the body.
Read my article on hypothyroidism, it will give you some good information as well as hints and tips.
Weight-loss: We have seen several women maintain a healthy weight in our practice - just by taking a top quality Kelp supplement like Solgar. Just one to two tablets a day. Why did this occur? Because they were hypothyroid, and by consuming iodine (which is deficient in many diets today) their thyroid was better able to function. Your thyoid produces a hormone called T4, as well as T3. T4 (the inactive hormone) needs to be converted to T3(the more active form) and iodine plays a crucial role in this conversion pathway. I have always said, the simple treatments often work the best.
