Christopher’s Kelp Plant — 700 mg – 100 Vegetarian Capsules

One of the most important trace
elements in Kelp is iodine. This mineral is essential for the proper
functioning of the thyroid which manufactures the hormone thyroxin. If
an adequate amount of iodine is not provided in the diet, the thyroid
gland is forced to work overtime and becomes enlarged in an effort to
make up for the deficiency. This enlargement is known as goiter. Kelp
is a much better source of iodine than the much-touted iodized salt,
which is chemically isolated sodium chloride to which potassium
chloride has been added. Most of us should not take as much salt as
might be needed to supply the needed amount of iodine. Kelp is the
ideal source of iodine.

To get the daily requirement of 100 micrograms
of iodine estimated as the requirement for human beings you would need
to consume: 10 pounds of fresh vegetables and fruits, or 8 pounds of
cereals, grains and nuts, or 6 pounds of meat, fish, fowl, or 2 pounds
of eggs, or 3 pounds of marine fish, or .2 pounds of shellfish. Used as
a condiment, Kelp could supply easily the amount required; it contains
10 times as much iodine as American iodized salt (RodC:7 16). 100%
vegetarian capsules.
