• Iodine (Kelp)

Iodine (Kelp) has several functions and health benefits. Iodine is a trace element that is an essential component of the thyroid hormone, thyroxine, which is the master regulator of metabolic reactions involved in oxidation. Thyroid hormone accelerates cellular reactions, increases oxygen consumption and basal metabolic rate and influences growth and development and energy metabolism. Foods from the sea, including all fish and seaweeds (like kelp) are rich sources of iodine. Although sea salt itself has very little iodine, some salt used commercially is iodised (has iodine added to it). North Atlantic Kelp (Bladderwrack) Vegetable Capsules is one of Solgar's premium-quality herbal iodine rich formulas.
