I would like to pick you experienced and knowledgeable NBEers a question regarding kelp as a supplement. It seems to offer some goodness. I saw some powdered Kelp on ebay, not in pill or capsule form. How much would I take ?
The "Blurb" .
[/b]
Kelp has a salty taste and is used by many people in place of salt. It has a high content of natural plant iodine, which is absorbed much more slowly and therefore more safely, than chemical iodine. Iodine is necessary for proper function of the thyroid, which is essential for proper growth, energy, and metabolism.
Abounds in calcium, chlorine, potassium, magnesium, and other mineral including trace minerals.
Good for nails and hair loss.
Regulates the thyroid and pituitary glands (activates all glands of body).
Helps to regulate body temperature; aids in chronic low body temperature.
Good for pancreas and adrenals.
Helps male and females organs, good for prostate.
Builds cell membrane.
Aids function of digestive and endocrine systems.
Tests in Japan claim it is preventative of fetus abnormalities. Good during pregnancy because it normalizes glands and hormones and because of its high mineral content.
Helps to prevent growth of tumors.
Cleanse the body of radiation.
Acts as an antibiotic; assists the thyroid in releasing iodine into the blood stream when infection is present. Iodine fights infection. Helps prevent disease.
Hi man2.
Il let others elaborate on your question but I just want to suggest be mindful of the source even if it is organic, a lot of contaminated kelp out there.
This is the one I use

Be mindful of the following to when you purchase - fukishima contamination and what not..
Testing for radioactive contamination shows no presence of iodine-131, caesium-134 or caesium-137.
But you have reminded me to start taking it again which is good.

Wow, thank you for the input, OMG need a geiger counter now.
Ellagraig I contacted the seller of the kelp, and it is sourced from Canada which is affected by Fukushima Nuclear Plant disaster in Japan is now actively in the ecosystem all along the North American west coast.
Thank you xx

Jeepers I hope your not referring to the link I sent you?? That ones sourced in NZ
No Ellacraig the brand I was looking at to buy.
I've gone off the idea of Kelp now, too risky.
Am thinking of Wheatgrass powder now.

That's good. I'm so Glad you brought that up cause whenever I get tuna or salmon it's wild Alaskan caught so that means it's in the bad zone right?? Now our fish doesn't get radiation test
I'm have to rethink my fish sources now.
Kelp is great though. I'd still get it to help regulate everything as long as your thyroid needs it
Wheat and barley grass super too. I am thinking to substitute my multi vits for superfiods now.
All the best
Wheatgrass powder.
