Common Usages for Kelp:

• Great source of iodine
• Helps with some blood-related disorders
• Natural anti-inflammatory properties

Kelp, also known as algae, seaweed, sea moss, and more, belongs to the brown algae class Phaeophyceae, specifically in the order Laminariales. It is a large type of seaweed that grows in shallow, underwater forests. It’s often surrounded by plentiful marine and plant life and is estimated to have appeared between 5 million and 23 million years ago.

Kelp contains an extremely high level of iodine (up to 2984 micrograms in some varieties) and is one of the best ways to maintain a healthy level of iodine. Kelp also has specific fat-fighting properties due to molecules known as alginates. These alginates are more prevalent in some varieties of kelp as compared to others. Additionally, kelp also contains a power nutrient known as fucoidan that has shown effectiveness in preventing  blood clots that can lead to dangerous health problems. It is so effective that researchers cite is as having potential to be used as an oral antithrombotic agent, potentially reducing the need of prescription drugs to treat blood clotting problems. 

Certain kinds of kelp have been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties (and serve as antioxidants), meaning they help reduce the overall inflammation in your body, which in turn reduces your probability of disease. Fucoidan, described above, has also been shown to work as an anti-inflammatory and also to improve cholesterol levels in the blood.

Anytime you consume sea vegetables, it is important to purchase organic because of their ability to absorb whatever minerals are in the water around them. There is also the possibility of overconsuming iodine.
