FAQ
- What does kelp do in the body?
Kelp is a brown seaweed and a natural source of iodine, an essential mineral needed for healthy thyroid function. By providing iodine, kelp supports the production of thyroid hormones that regulate metabolism, energy utilization, and normal cellular function throughout the body. - How does kelp support thyroid health?
Kelp supports thyroid health by supplying iodine, a key nutrient required for the synthesis of the thyroid hormones triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4). These hormones help regulate numerous physiological processes, making adequate iodine intake essential for maintaining healthy thyroid function. - Why is iodine important?
Iodine is an essential trace mineral that the body cannot produce on its own. It is required to make thyroid hormones, which support healthy growth, energy metabolism, nervous system function, and normal cellular activity. Obtaining enough iodine through the diet or supplements helps maintain healthy thyroid hormone production. - How does iodine support healthy metabolism?
Iodine supports healthy metabolism by enabling the production of thyroid hormones, which help regulate how the body converts carbohydrates, fats, and proteins into usable energy. By supporting normal thyroid function, iodine helps maintain healthy metabolic activity and efficient energy utilization. - What makes Swanson Kelp unique?
Swanson Kelp provides 225 mcg of iodine from Atlantic kelp standardized to 0.4% iodine, delivering a consistent, reliable source of this essential trace mineral. Unlike non-standardized seaweed products, each tablet is formulated to provide a precise amount of iodine. - Is Swanson Kelp suitable for special diets?
Swanson Kelp is made with non-GMO ingredients. It is not suitable for vegan or vegetarian lifestyles because it contains a gelatin-based ingredient. This product is also not formulated or certified to be gluten free, so individuals with gluten sensitivities should review the ingredient list before use.
