Kelp and seaweed

Kelp is a variety of seaweed that has over 70 minerals, growth hormones, trace elements, enzymes, vitamins, and includes potassium, magnesium, iron, calcium, and iodine. The nutrients in kelp help to fight heart disease, boost the immune system, increase metabolic energy, help fight cancer, improves the function of the liver and reduces arthritic pain. Kelp has been shown to benefit those with a hypothyroid as it stimulates metabolism and is rich in iodine (needed for thyroid hormone production). Kelp can also help with poor digestion, constipation, and flatulence.
