Supplements, Kelp Powder, Certified Organic, Excellent Source of Iodine, Super Green, 8-Ounce

I have used kelp for years as a thyroid supplement, but now use it as a seasoning. I put this in a pepper shaker & shake it over foods such as eggs, fish, potatoes, macaroni. Although I have used the little scoop to add it to vegetable broth & soup. Both kelp & dulse (which I have also reviewed) have many health benefits & have many vitamins & trace elements & minerals in them which you can research about online. This product is a finer powder than other kelp I have used as a seasoning, but it still works & tastes great. This is product is economical & one of the brands recommended on other sites. Iodine is an important supplement for the thyroid & some say that a low functioning thyroid is too common today, as is iodine intake in people on low salt diets. I do not use iodized table salt, but a wonderful, mild (non-peppered) seasoning salt called Herbamare (available on amazon also) that has sea salt in it. Sea salt does not have as much iodine as iodized table salt. Actually, the latest research indicated that a low salt diet in healthy people actually increases the risk of heart disease. Unfortunately, I have seen the results of this in someone paranoid about salt her whole life, had low sodium intake & blood levels & now has heart disease even though it did not run in her family (no, no diabetes, hypertension or high cholesterol either). Lowering CARBS can actually decrease blood pressure & swelling in some people. But, I digress. Here are the stats for kelp: SERVING SIZE 2 LEVEL SCOOPS SERVINGS PER CONTAINER 1135 IODINE PER SERVING 270 MCG 180% KELP 200 MG. Laminaria digitata & Ascophyllum nodosum, no other ingredients.

Kelp power is as expected. There is a tiny scoop that will probably be buried down inside of it when you open it and it can be difficult to get out.

Kelp is a super healthy source of iodine to aid proper thyroid function. When used as recommended the taste is barely noticable and the included dosage spoon is easy to use. The dosage is a very tiny amount so the bottle will last a long time. I was pleasantly surprised at the tiny amount needed and it's easy to sprinkle on many different foods such as eggs, pasta, etc. I like the fact that it's not another capsule or tablet to swallow - just sprinkle! Thanks NOW brand!

There are those of us who will not use the highly processed white salt available in grocery stores, but much prefer the natural sea salts that contain necessary trace minerals. I for one use Celtic gray salt mixed with Redmond salt and have Himalayan salt in my grinder. (Covering all bases?) Anyway, as good as these salts are they do not contain iodine - a very necessary nutrient. The kelp fills that void, is natural, and is easy to take such a small amount. So why only four stars? Simply because the measuring spoon that comes with the kelp is so small that I managed to lose it on a trip. I wrote to the company asking if they could send me a couple of replacements. The reply was that they didn’t have any in the office (Duh!) and they would contact the warehouse Well, a couple of weeks later, I haven’t heard a thing back from them. Not having the correct measuring spoon makes it a little difficult to put down the correct amount every day. At best I am guessing and don’t really like to do that.

Excellent suplement! It helped me greatly lose a lot of weight. The taste is horrible (I knew this). Best if taken early in the mornings.
