What is kelp?

The Pacific seawater algae kelp is a rich natural source of minerals and trace elements. Kelp has especially a high natural iodine content. Furthermore, the plant contains, among others, algal acid, calcium, copper, sodium, sulfur, vitamins A, B1, B3, B5, B6, B9, B12, C and E, zinc and trace elements.



Kelp is a popular product in natural medicine and is especially good for people with a deficit of minerals, for nerves and sensory organs, spinal cord, brain tissue, thyroid function, arteries and fingernails. As a dietary supplement, kelp is usually taken in tablet form.

Now for the plant itself: Kelp grows along the cooler coastal regions of the world, primarily in the North Pacific. The plant grows as long as 60 meters in some regions and can grow up to 50 centimeters a day. Kelp has a slender stem, leaves and root-like adhesive organs that can cling to rocks as it grows.
