Kelp is a large leafy brown algae that belongs to the algae family, and grows in the cold waters of the planet's oceans. Kelp is a good source of marine minerals such as potassium, magnesium, calcium and iron. As with most green foods, seaweed contains vitamins, cell salts and about 70 other minerals and trace elements that are essential for good nutrition.   

Kelp is particularly rich in iodine. Iodine promotes the production of thyroid hormones, which are needed to maintain metabolic rate. Iodine also helps regulate weight and affects the rate of overall metabolism. Iodine deficiency can slow down metabolism by up to 50%, which often leads to obesity and other related health problems.

Other benefits of Kelp include:

• Stimulates the immune system.
• Reduces the chances of developing heart disease.
• Promotes normal liver function.
• Enhances healthy brain development.
• Helps prevent osteoporosis and significantly helps lower cholesterol levels.
• It is a natural source of energy.
• Reduces arthritic pain, fights the symptoms of the herpes virus, helps digestion and constipation and is an important aid for fertility in both men and women.
