Kelp is made up primarily of phenolic compounds, mucopolysaccharides, polar lipids, algin and glycosyl ester diglycerides. Protein, carbohydrates, and essential fatty acids can also be found in kelp. Roughly 30 minerals are found in kelp as well including iodine, calcium, sulfur, silicone phosphorus, iron, sodium, potassium, magnesium, chloride, copper, zinc, manganese, chromium, lithium, nickel, silver, titanium, vanadium, barium, boron, aluminum, strontium, bismuth, chlorine, tin, and zirconium. Within kelp are vitamins C, E, D, K, and B complex. For these reasons, kelp is often a good recommendation for people with mineral deficiencies. Kelp has also been shown to be beneficial in the treatment of many disorders including thyroid disorders, arthritis, rheumatism, colitis, eczema, goiter, obesity, low vitality, constipation, colds, high blood pressure, poor digestion, nervous disorders, menstrual irregularities and glandular disorders. In fact, the low rate of breast cancer among Japanese women as well as may be directly linked to kelp supplementation. Because of it's high iodine content, kelp is often used a therapeutic treatment for thyroid conditions such as hypothyroidism and goiter because it assists in the production of thyroid hormones, which help regulate the thyroid gland. By restricting bile acid absorption kelp may also reduce cholesterol and the diuretic effect of kelp is beneficial to an irritated or infected bladder as it aids the body in flushing out harmful bacteria. For those suffering from rheumatoid arthritis, kelp may be beneficial as it helps reduce inflammation in injured tissues and eases painful joints. In men, kelp may also reduce an enlarged prostate. Kelp is available dried or as a ground powder in forms such as granules, capsules, tablets, or tinctures. You can even add granulated or powdered kelp to food as a substitute for salt. I recommend taking 10-15 mg of kelp per day. You can even drink it as tea. Simply pour 1 cup of boiling water is over 2-3 tsp of dried or powdered kelp. Then, steep the tea for about 10 minutes, and drink 3 three times a day. * Important note: The recommended doses are for those over age 18. Always check herb and vitamin use with your child’s health care practitioner prior to administering them.
