Iodine Kelp - Swanson

With Iode Kelp , the Swanson brand stands out by offering a rare health food supplement on the market.

Kelp iodine is coveted for being a natural source of iodine, as opposed to synthetic forms. It comes in capsules and is ideal for a vegan diet. Our bodies need iodine because this trace mineral helps in the normal production of thyroid hormones , thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3), which regulate metabolism , growth , brain development , and nervous system function . These hormones influence processes such as energy regulation, body temperature, and bone growth.

To make this product, Swanson begins by sustainably harvesting kelp from the Atlantic Ocean, cleaning it to remove impurities, and then drying it under controlled conditions to stabilize the seaweed. The dried kelp is then ground into a fine powder . The powder is then formulated into tablets , with rigorous quality control to ensure iodine content and the absence of contaminants. The final product is then packaged protectively. In food, iodine is found naturally in seaweed, marine fish, seafood, dairy products and eggs.
