NOW Foods Kelp – 200 tablets

Product overview

NOW Foods Kelp is a natural food supplement that provides iodine from organically grown seaweed of the species Laminaria spp. Each pack contains 200 tablets, designed to be smaller and easier to swallow than many similar supplements, making them convenient for daily use. NOW Foods is a family-owned company with roots dating back to 1968, known for its commitment to high-quality, pure and natural ingredients. Kelp, the brown seaweed used as the basis for this supplement, is a nutrient-rich marine plant that grows in cold seas and has long been used in traditional Asian cooking and health practices. The product is certified non-GMO, vegetarian and vegan, and also has kosher and halal approvals, making it a flexible choice for different dietary and lifestyle preferences.

Active ingredients & science

The main active component in NOW Foods Kelp is iodine, present in a natural form derived from 30 mg of organic seaweed per tablet, providing 150 micrograms of iodine – equivalent to 100% of the EU Nutrient Reference Value. Iodine is a trace element that the body cannot produce itself and therefore needs to obtain from the diet. Laminaria spp., the brown seaweed used, has a long history as a nutrient-rich ingredient in several East Asian cultures and is known for its rich mineral profile.

Benefits & uses

• Natural iodine supplement: For those who want to ensure a consistent intake of iodine from a natural, plant-based source.
• Convenient for daily use: The tablets’ smaller size makes them easy to swallow, helping to support regular use.
• Suitable for different diets: Vegan, vegetarian, kosher and halal certified – a versatile supplement for many lifestyles.
• Natural mineral support: Using the whole seaweed plant also provides other minerals and trace elements naturally found in seaweed.
• Practical for different needs: Can be used by people in a range of circumstances, such as those following a plant-based diet or looking to supplement their mineral intake.

Directions & dosage

The recommended dose is one tablet per day, providing 150 micrograms of iodine. The tablet can be taken with water and is suitable for taking with a meal for optimal absorption. If desired, the product can be combined with other food supplements for a broader nutritional profile, but it is important not to exceed the recommended daily dose. People with specific needs or medical conditions are advised to consult a doctor or other qualified healthcare professional before use. The tablets’ smaller format makes them easy to incorporate into a daily routine without discomfort.
