Kelp, a family of around 30 species of large brown algae sea vegetables, is a life-saving food supplement that is highly nutritious, safe to eat, inexpensive, and widely available. However, it’s important to note that the brand of kelp matters, as some brands may not work as well or may even be toxic π«.
Kelp is a superb mineral supplement, providing a rich source of trace minerals like iron, copper, zinc, manganese, chromium, and others, as well as ultra-trace minerals like germanium, iridium, and rubidium. It also supplies macrominerals like calcium, magnesium, sodium, and sulfur that the body needs π.
Kelp is also a good overall nutritional supplement, providing protein, vitamins A, B, C, D, E, and K, soluble fiber, and many other phytonutrients. It even contains some fatty acids, including a little of the omega-3 fatty acids π½οΈ.
Despite its benefits, there are some cautions with kelp. It’s not recommended for those with Grave’s disease or hyperthyroidism, and some people may experience healing reactions when they first start taking kelp. These reactions are usually temporary and occur because kelp helps to push out mercury or one of the iodine antagonists β bromine, fluorine, and chlorine π¨.
Kelp also contains mercury and arsenic, which are toxic metals. However, the alginates in kelp help bind to these toxic metals and prevent their absorption, making kelp safer to consume than other sea vegetables π‘οΈ.
In conclusion, kelp is a powerful food supplement with numerous health benefits. However, it’s important to choose the right brand and be aware of potential reactions when first starting to take kelp πΏπ.
