Introducing our newest Seaweed Support supplement – SEAWEED SUPPORT IODINE FORMULA. With 225µg of iodine from five North Atlantic seaweeds, our new IODINE FORMULA offers you a convenient way to include the health benefits of Seaweed in your diet every day, while also providing the added benefit of extra iodine – 150% of the Daily Value in just 2 capsules. Just like our Original Formula, there are no fillers or excipients; it’s 100% vegetarian, certified organic, and raw!

The link between Iodine and thyroid health is well-established (See our Sea Vegetables and the Thyroid). Seaweeds are an excellent source of plant based iodine and may help protect the thyroid. SEAWEED SUPPORT IODINE FORMULA is minimally processed, and delivers all the synergistic benefits of whole food nutrition — phytochemicals, enzymes and other co-factors — for optimum bio-availability.

Iodine deficiency is a growing concern in this country. The Recommended Daily Intake is merely for the prevention of goiter (enlarged thyroid). The amount we need for vibrant health may be much more than this. A US Government Survey in 2000 shows a 50% drop in iodine levels since 1970. This has been attributed to a number of factors:

• Decrease in consumption of meat, dairy, and salt.
• Increase in dietary fluorides, chlorides and bromides, mostly as a result of drinking water programs and the use of bromides in the baking industry.
• Decrease in iodine in our soils and most supermarket produce items due to industrialized agriculture and erosion of soil.

SEAWEED SUPPORT IODINE FORMULA contains the same four species as our Original Formula plus a little more kelp. We’ve also added iron-rich Sea Lettuce, which helps provide 25% of the Daily Value for iron (4 mg per serving). This blend contains: Dulse (Palmaria palmata), Kelp (Laminaria digitata), Bladderwrack (Fucus vesiculosis), Rockweed (Ascophyllum nodosum), Sea Lettuce (Ulva lactuca)

We make absolutely no specific claims for this product, but rely on the reputation of seaweeds throughout many traditional coastal cultures (in Europe, Asia as well as New England and the Pacific Northwest) to promote good health and longevity. Some of these health benefits might include:

• Promoting healthy thyroid function
• May help protect the thyroid
• Maintaining healthy blood pressure, sugar and cholesterol
• Aiding in the removal of heavy metals from the body
• Assisting in weight loss and weight management
• Strengthening bones, teeth, hair and nails
• Alkalinizing metabolic systems
