Herb Valley Kelp 1000mg 100 Tablets
Kelp, also known as brown seaweed, is a rich, organic source of many
vitamins and minerals. One of these, Iodine, is a vital component of the
thyroid hormones your body produces to regulate growth and
development.
Concern is growing over a re-emerging trend in Australia towards
iodine deficiency states1. Dietary sources are often insufficient
because Australia has relatively impoverished soils. The move away
from iodine based sanitisers in the dairy industry, fewer people cooking
with iodised salt and the fact that 90% of dietary intake is eventually
lost through the urine all point towards an increased need for
supplementation in some people.
Herb Valley Kelp 1000mg are a convenient way of making sure that dietary intake is
adequate.
Long term Iodine deficiency can lead to swelling of the thyroid gland (goitre), as well
as symptoms of an under-active thyroid gland (hypothyroidism). Iodine deficiency is
the most common cause of hypothyroidism throughout the world. Some of the
symptoms of hypothyroidism include:
· Tiredness
· Slow heart rate
· Dry skin
· Muscle and joint aches and pains
· Depression
· Constipation
· Weight gain
Herb Valley Kelp 1000 tablets contain the species Fucus vesiculosus commonly
known as Bladder wrack. This is an excellent dietary source of iodine; in fact Bladder
Wrack was the original source of iodine, discovered in 1812.
Low intake of dietary iodine is the major cause of iodine deficiency in the community
and, which is a major health concern in most countries.
Iodine deficiency can result in a series of iodine deficiency disorders. These can
affect people of all ages, but babies are most at risk of serious problems.
Babies who do not receive adequate iodine can have intellectual impairment and
problems with physical development. Sometimes, severe mental retardation (known
as cretinism) develops following severe iodine deficiency during early development.
In fact, iodine deficiency is the most common cause worldwide of preventable
intellectual impairment in children, so it's extremely important for pregnant women,

breast-feeding mothers and young children to receive an adequate amount of dietary
iodine.
It has been reported that at least 50 per cent of pregnant women in Australia have an
inadequate intake of iodine. Several studies have also found mild-to-moderate iodine
deficiency in school-aged children and adults in Tasmania, New South Wales and
Victoria.
