Why we should all eat seaweed, the iodine debate!

Please see the link from the BBC talking about the health benefits of seaweed.http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-26043954

GOVERNMENT GUIDELINES ON SAFE IODINE IN TAKE.

• The World Health Organisation considers 1100 mcg iodine per day to be the safe upper limit.
• The US Institute of Medicine has set 1100 mcg iodine per day as a safe upper limit.
• The UK Department of Health recommends that a daily intake of 1000 mcg iodine should not be exceeded.

However, there is a lot of controversy over these fairly arbitrary figures, and an amount of iodine by a person’s weight has also been proposed. The allowance for a person who weighs 80 kg would be 2400 micrograms per day (mcg/day) – nearly 4 grams of Ascophyllum.

Research on Bladder Wrack (fucus vesiculosus) 2008

The consumption of seaweeds has increased in recent years. However, their adverse and beneficial effects have scarcely been studied. Two extracts from the brown seaweed Fucus vesiculosus containing 28.8% polyphenols or 18% polyphenols plus 0.0012% fucoxanthin have been obtained and studied to determine their toxicity in mice and rats and also their antioxidant activity. Both extracts were shown to lack any relevant toxic effects in an acute toxicity test following a 4 week daily treatment in rats. The extracts exhibited antioxidant activity in noncellular systems and in activated RAW 264.7 macrophages, as well as in ex vivo assays in plasma and erythrocytes, after the 4 week treatment in rats. Our ex vivo results indicated that compounds from extract 2 may be more easily absorbed and that the antioxidants in their parent or metabolized form are more active. These findings support the view that the daily consumption of F. vesiculosus extract 2 (Healsea) would have potential benefits to humans.

This review is from: Kelp seaweed tablets 500 mg 90 Capsules Certified Organic Harvested in North Atlantic Coast of Ireland (Personal Care)

I’m 40 years old. Years ago in my early 20s I had a partial thyroidectomy due to hyperthyroidism. I haven’t had to take medication for it after that surgery. I’ve also suffered from iron deficiency anaemia for many years. This last year I’ve been experiencing autoimmune disorder symptoms (e.g. painful geographic tongue thing identified by my dentist) and other symptoms pointing towards a thyroid issue and I also don’t eat many foods which contain iodine such as dairy products and fish. I have also been struggling with severe acne, dry hair and skin so it does seem as if this is exactly what I need. I am due to return to the endocrinologist in about a month and a half so I want to try the natural route first to see if a lack of iodine is a, or the, cause. For the last month I had been taking kelp tablets by another major health shop brand and have noticed that my hair has been feeling much better (e.g. feeling thicker and feeling consistently softer) and my acne has been calming down so no new nasty spots. Skin feels less flaky also and I noticed my nails look healthier and stronger as they are growing in…. now on to these capsules. I stopped taking the other tablets a few days ago after reading about the fillers used to bind tablets together so I stopped taking them and searched for a more natural solution. I like the fact these capsules are pure organic kelp. The dosage is suitable as I’ve read the max one should take daily is 1000 mcg iodine, I believe. These capsules provide 737 mcg so I don’t have to fiddle about with loose bags of kelp powder. I am unable to swallow tablets so I either have to chew them or open them. I can easily open these. I just tap the top of the short bit of the capsule to make sure all the kelp is in the long side. Carefully open it and pour the contents in my mouth with some juice. I give these 5 stars. The delivery was way ahead of schedule. It’s organic. Easy to take and will hopefully make a great improvement in my health condition the longer I take them.

5.0 out of 5 starsExcellent product

Excellent quality kelp, beautifully packaged and promptly delivered. Having had a quadruple heart bypass I monitor and record my blood pressure regularly. After taking the kelp capsules for two weeks, both my blood pressure levels dropped by 10% and remained there.My energy levels and alertness have also increased. Also my retention of fluid, due to heart tablets, has gone completely. No more swollen ankles. I have also stopped taking Lansoprazole tablets for severe heart burn. No more heartburn either. AMAZING genuine product. Many thanks.
