Kelp, 325 mcg, 250 Veg Capsules, 325 mcg iodine

NOW Foods Kelp is a dietary supplement centered on kelp-derived iodine. Iodine is an essential trace element required for synthesis of the thyroid hormones thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3). These hormones influence metabolic rate, growth, development, and many organ systems. Iodine needs are measured in micrograms, and both deficiency and chronic excess can disrupt thyroid physiology. Kelp is a sea vegetable that naturally accumulates iodine. A standardized capsule offers a predictable amount compared with variable culinary seaweed intake. Because this product supplies more than twice the adult Daily Value in one capsule, it should be used thoughtfully rather than stacked with multiple iodine products. From a nutrition perspective, the value of this type of supplement is its ability to provide a measured, repeatable amount of the target nutrient or bioactive compound when food intake, lifestyle, or individual needs make consistent intake difficult. Evidence for nutritional support depends on baseline status, diet, dose, and individual factors; this product is intended to complement, not replace, a balanced diet.

Take 1 capsule daily with a meal, or follow the current product label.

People with thyroid disease or those taking thyroid medication should consult a healthcare professional before using iodine or kelp supplements. Avoid combining multiple high-iodine products. Keep out of reach of children. Do not use if the safety seal is damaged or missing. If pregnant or nursing, taking medication, or managing a medical condition, consult a qualified healthcare professional before use. Store as directed on the label.
