Natural Factors - Fresh Kelp Extract - 50 mL liquid
SKU 2909-NaturalFactors
Kelp is an excellent source of 70 vitamins, minerals, trace minerals, proteins, and enzymes, earning it a status as a green “superfood”. The sea water it grows in contains an abundance of trace elements and these are absorbed by the kelp and converted to an organic form that can be absorbed by the human digestive tract.
Kelp is especially valued for its iodine content, which is important for normal thyroid gland function and regulation of metabolism and body weight. Kelp is a rich source of potassium, magnesium, calcium, iron, and vitamins A, B1, B2, C, D, E, and K.
Research shows that kelp supplements are effectively absorbed by the body. A double-blind clinical trial tested kelp supplements on 36 healthy people with normal thyroid function. After taking kelp for four weeks there was an increase in the blood level of TSH, the signalling hormone that triggers the thyroid gland to absorb available iodine for conversion into thyroid hormones. There was no response in the placebo group.
Natural Factors Fresh Kelp Extract is an effective way to meet your body’s daily requirement of iodine and essential trace minerals.
Natural Factors Fresh Kelp Extract provides a concentrated source of iodine to help with thyroid gland function. Kelp is an excellent source of iodine, an essential trace mineral needed for the maintenance of good health. Our kelp is hand-harvested in a sustainable manner from the pristine coastal waters of British Columbia. It is extracted fresh to preserve its spectrum of minerals and purified to remove contaminants. Each 0.033 mL drop contains 800 mcg of iodine.
