Kelp extract is a rich source of idione, a chemical used by the body to maintain a healthy metabolism.
Kelp is best known for its high iodine content, a chemical that plays an essential role in the body. It is used by the thyroid gland to produce the hormone thyroxin that helps regulate the speed at which our body burns fats and sugars, as well as helping to control cholesterol levels. It is also required to maintain healthy skin and hair. Because iodine cannot be stored by the body it must be obtained regularly via the diet.
An oceanic plant, Kelp 'Laminaria' contains concentrated sources of minerals and nutrients including Iodine, Potassium, Magnesium, Calcium and Iron. Healthspan Kelp is sourced from clean unpolluted waters and each tablet contains 180mg standardised Kelp extract, providing 150mcg of iodine.
