Kelp Benefits

The benefits kelp can bring are great for those who are deficient in iodine. Kelp contains minerals that are important for our bodies to have. Those minerals are:

• Potassium
• Iodine
• Calcium
• Magnesium
• Iron

The people who would get the greatest benefits kelp can offer are those with an iodine deficiency and under active thyroid. Most people in America are not iodine deficient.

It's important for the thyroid to be functioning properly in order for you to keep a normal weight. Those with hypothyroidism may experience weight gain as a result. If you have an under active thyroid kelp may be very effective for you.

However, not everyone will see the weight loss benefits of kelp. In fact, if you don't have an iodine deficiency then taking kelp may not be good.

Also, you have to make sure you are getting your sea kelp from a good source. Make sure the company is reputable. Read reviews and always take the exact dose. Don't take more than that. Swanson Vitamins has some good kelp supplements that get good reviews.

Speak with your doctor or a Master Herbalist about your condition and concerns before taking kelp. Kelp can be very beneficial to the right person.
