The Treasure of the Sea
Sea Kelp, or seaweed, contains trace elements present in the oceans. It is perhaps the most balanced trace element source in the world, with iodine content being the most significant among these trace elements.
Why do we need trace elements at all?
This is the weakest link theory. No matter how strong a chain is, it will break where there is a weak link. When it comes to nutrition, if there are 100 nutrients that can cause problems in the body if they are deficient, then it doesn't matter that we eat 99 of them in sufficient quantities. The complete absence of a single vitamin, mineral, or trace element can be just as much of a problem as if we didn't eat half of them. A tablet made from seaweed contains a large amount of iodine. Many people know that iodine is one of the components of thyroid hormones. In a normal state, an adult's body contains about 15-20 mg of iodine. It plays an important role in maintaining the healthy functioning of the thyroid, as the hormone it produces is an essential component. The thyroid regulates the metabolism of cells, determining how quickly and efficiently energy-providing molecules are used. Iodine deficiency decreases the body's physical and mental performance. Sea Kelp contains significant amounts of natural iodine!
Iodine is particularly necessary for the following functions:
- It contributes to maintaining normal cognitive function.
- It participates in normal energy-producing metabolic processes.
- Contributes to the normal functioning of the nervous system.
- Contributes to maintaining the normal condition of the skin, nails, and hair.
- Iodine contributes to the normal production of thyroid hormones and normal thyroid function.
- Regulates metabolism.
The absorption of iodine depends on the body's iodine saturation. The absorption is negatively influenced by several vegetables such as kale, cabbage, radish, and Brussels sprouts. The goitrogens found in these are natural compounds that inhibit the production of thyroid hormones, but they are sensitive to high heat, so if consumed, it is advisable to cook these vegetables. In addition, fluoride and nitrates (toothpaste, processed meat products) also have an impact, both of which inhibit. The Vitaking Sea Kelp tablet contains 100mg of seaweed, of which 150mcg is iodine content.
