Kelp
Kelp,
commonly referred to as seaweed,
grows along coastlines around the world. Kelp contains naturally
varying amounts of trace minerals, which may be used in proper
glandular function and metabolism.
Kelp
supplements iodine to the body to support functioning of the
thyroid, which influences overall health, metabolism, skin and
the coat. Kelp contains proteins, iodine, calcium, phosphorus,
potassium and Vitamins A, B, E and D.
Because the plant’s nutrients come in a natural
form, they are easily assimilated by the body.
GAIA
research states the following: “Kelp
is a food adjunct, which improves intestinal flora, as a result
of which an increase occurs in the assimilation of other
foodstuffs in the consumer. The organic iodine acts as a
thyroxin precursor and regulates the metabolism. Kelp can supply
daily requirements of carotenoids, vitamins A, B1, 2, 6 & 12 and
D and pantothenic acid. Kelp has properties that expel
intestinal worms, making it useful for both animals and humans.”
