Description
Kelp Tablets and Powder are made from the sea plant Ascophyllum nodosum (also known as Icelandic, Norwegian or Knotted Kelp) and is responsibly harvested from the Maine coast. The live plants are quickly dried at a low temperature to preserve valuable vitamins, minerals, trace elements, amino acids and alginates. Dehydrated kelp contains a natural balance of 60 minerals, 21 amino acids and 12 vitamins that are necessary to the human body's blood chemistry and overall well being. The trace minerals in kelp are essential for the production of a wide variety of enzymes, which promote the healthy function of all body systems. Since the minerals are in plant tissue, they are easily digested and assimilated.
The iodine content in kelp provides the thyroid gland with the "fuel" it needs to function properly. Reported benefits include weight loss and control, reduced stress and tension, fewer headaches and sleeping problems. We have added Alfalfa to our tablets, as it is one of the most palatable and nutritious cultivated forage crops in the USA. It is highly nutritive, containing protein and amino acids. It is a great source of vitamins such as Vitamins A, C, B2, B6, E, K and minerals iron, calcium, sodium, silicon, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium and chlorine. Alfalfa may alkalize and detoxify the body, especially the liver. It promotes pituitary gland function and contains an anti-fungus agent. It even helps make the best milk for nursing mothers and helps to stop colic in babies.
