Nova Vitae Kelp iodine 225mcgKelp is a natural source of iodine because the seaweed has adapted to an environment where iodine is abundant in the ocean. Seaweeds, including kelp, have the unique ability to absorb iodine from seawater and concentrate it in their tissues. This process is called 'bioaccumulation.'
The presence of iodine in seawater is the result of various factors, including volcanic activity and rainwater that dissolves minerals from the soil and carries them into the ocean. This makes iodine a natural trace element in seawater, albeit in small amounts.
Kelp, as a fast-growing and nutritious seaweed, has evolved to absorb and store iodine from the surrounding water in its cells. It has special transport mechanisms that can transport iodine from seawater to its thalli (the leaf-like part of the seaweed).
When people consume kelp, they can benefit from this concentrated source of iodine. Eating kelp can be an effective way to prevent iodine deficiency, especially for people living in areas where iodine-poor diets are a common problem.
If eating kelp is not sufficient, a natural iodine supplement is a suitable addition.
