[QUOTE="Redhides, post: 1031400, member: 20308"] I understand your skepticism. Kelp does contain "miniscule" levels of toxic metals, but that's about it. Powdered Kelp contains beneficial quantities of iron, magnesium, calcium, chromium, the iodine you mentioned and contains to a lesser degree zinc, selenium and copper along with a higher alginate content. It also has been found to have mercury binding properties. Further, seaweed supplies many of the ultra-trace minerals such as germanium, iridium, rubidium and others of which we have yet to grasp the full heath benefits. In addition to its trace mineral content, one hundred grams of kelp also contains 1.7 grams of protein, and vitamins A, B, C, D, E, and K. It is particularly rich in folic acid. It also contains many other phytonutrients found in plants, along with soluble fiber. It even contains some fatty acids, including a modest amount of omega-3 fatty acids. Kelp is also one of the few natural sources of calcium in a readily available form. As context, kelp is the sole source of sustenance for about a million organisms, has been used in Eastern cultures for thousands of years because of it's empirical health benefits. Our early New England settlers used it as soil amendment. It's also widely known that kelp is over 90% equal to human blood....a virtue of more than modest concern to the species one step up the food chain from the bovine. It's also hard to overstate that it was the primary source of mineral supplementation for cattle and sheep on the British isles for over a thousand years. Considering that those animals are the foundation of a decent Beef Carcass here in American and everywhere else the world, it's worth noting. It's also the saving grace of that glorified Alpo cattle y'all love in Texas (Braymer's & Bevo's). I waste money every day, particularly on rye in a bottle and 12 ounce miracles. But not on kelp. :tiphat: [/QUOTE]
