KELP is the common name given to plants of the Phaeophyceae class, or "brown algae." NOW Kelp is a dietary supplement containing nutrients and minerals that can complement the diet and contribute to improved health. Its nutritional benefits are indisputable, although the extent of its effectiveness is not fully understood. It is an excellent source of vitamins, amino acids, and enzymes, with an extraordinarily high mineral content. Its components are readily available and effectively absorbed by the body. Kelp has earned the status of a "green superfood," which is of great interest to those seeking to adopt a healthy lifestyle. The seawater in which it grows contains an abundance of mineral elements in trace amounts, which are absorbed by the algae and converted into an organic form that can be absorbed by the human digestive tract. It is especially valuable for its iodine content, which is important for normal thyroid function and the regulation of metabolism and body weight. It also contributes to normal cognitive function, the normal functioning of the nervous system, and the maintenance of healthy skin. This iodine is in a form that can be immediately used by the thyroid without the body having to process it. It is also rich in potassium, magnesium, calcium, iron, sodium, phosphorus, zinc, selenium, and vitamins A, B1, B2, B12, folic acid, C, D, E, and K. Vitamin B12 is present in amounts comparable to those found in animal liver, making kelp particularly important for vegetarians. It contains high levels of lignans, which have been linked to a reduced risk of some types of cancer. It is an excellent source of trace elements such as copper, chromium, zinc, manganese, and many ultra-trace minerals, including germanium, iridium, rubidium, gold, silver, vanadium, titanium, silicon, and boron, among others, which are not present in many mineral supplements. It is often prescribed as a generic glandular tonic for vague and persistent conditions that seem to require one or more of these trace elements, which are generally not available in our modern Western diet.

It's known that single-mineral products can interfere with the absorption of other minerals, perhaps because minerals compete to some degree for absorption. Therefore, a supplement with a varied and balanced mineral composition appears to be the safest option for long-term use. This could be one reason why kelp is so effectively absorbed by the body and seems to work so well, with so few problems. It's the only truly organic food left in the modern world.
