system and heart in the form of iodine, vitamins, minerals and cell salts.
Iodine is essential
for the proper regulation of energy through its effect on metabolism. Thyroxine,
the major thyroid hormone, aids in protein synthesis, carbohydrate absorption
and the conversion of carotin to Vitamin A. Kelp not only absorbs iodine
from seawater, it also sponges up an enormous supply of essential nutrients
and delivers them to the thyroid and the rest of the body. These nutrients
include protein, essential fatty acid, carbohydrates, fiber, trace elements,
sodium and potassium salts, and a variety of other chemicals, such as alginic
acid.
