Seaweed is one of the best food sources of iodine (in addition to seafood, dairy, iodized salt and fortified foods). Iodine is needed to make thyroid hormones that help regulate metabolism. Without enough iodine, the thyroid hormones don’t work as they should and can lead to an under-active or overactive thyroid gland.
In the U.S., people obtain most of their dietary iodine from iodized salt and milk. Those following 100% plant-based or dairy-free diets as well as those who use sea salt or kosher salt in place of iodized salt are at risk of iodine deficiency. Just one of our kelp cubes provides over 100% of the daily requirement for iodine.
Iodine is used by the thyroid gland to make thyroid hormones which impact growth and brain development, essential during pregnancy and early childhood.
