Kelp is an edible seaweed that is rich in nutrients. It contains all of the B vitamins, plus macro minerals and trace minerals. Kelp contains iodine, a component of thyroid hormone, the hormone responsible for settling the body's metabolic rate. Some cases of hypothyroidism can be attributed to lack of iodine, and causes a swollen thyroid (goiter).
Kelp, rich in iodine, has the potential to protect the thyroid from taking up radioactive iodine, in the case of nuclear disaster, as seen in Japan in March of 2011. Radioactive iodine is strongly associated with the development of thyroid cancer, especially in infant and children populations. The iodine found in kelp binds with receptors on the thyroid gland, essentially filling the receptors, making it impossible for radioactive iodine to bind and be utilized by the gland in the making of thyroid hormone. Excess iodine can cause thyroid dysfunction, so it is not advised long-term, especially in children. Individuals with a hyperthyroid condition are not advised to take Kelp or iodine.
Hypothyroid individuals experience many symptoms due to a lack of thyroid hormone including fatigue, weight gain and frequent colds and flus.
Kelp's mineral content also supports the brain, nerves, vessels, hair, skin and nails. It can protect the body from damage due to radiation for example from the sun or due to cancer therapy. Natural health practitioners, for a variety of conditions including hypothyroidism, hair loss, obesity, ulcers, constipation, radiation sickness and poor mineral status, recommend kelp.
Kelp can be eaten raw but it is usually found dried or powdered for use as a salt substitute. A liquid form can be added to drinking water. As a supplement kelp is found in tablets. Some commercial "green food" smoothies and "energy" drinks may contain kelp. Green food supplements are combinations of medicinal foods and herbs, and may contain kelp.
Kelp contains iodine and should be used with caution by individuals with hyperthyroidism or thyroid tumours.
Iodine & Kelp
Iodine has become so difficult to get in the diet that staple foods like salt are now enriched with iodine. In the case of iodized salt the inorganic form of iodine is added. Natural, organic sources, such as those derived from the seaweeds kelp and bladderwrack are much more absorbable and easier for the thyroid gland to use that the inorganic (mined) sources used to enrich foods.
In a supplement form, iodine is usually derived from natural seaweed sources and is available in both liquid and capsule, or tablet, forms. The standardized types of these supplements contain a higher level of iodine and a consistent amount in each tablet usually about 150mcg. This is the preferred form for clinical use in low thyroid conditions, while the un-standardized kelp is suitable for people in need of a daily supplement.
