What Iodine from Kelp is licensed for

It is licensed for sale by Health Canada and bears NPN 80016525. The licence also lists:

• A factor in the maintenance of good health.

What is in each tablet

The iodine comes from Ascophyllum nodosum, a brown seaweed often called knotted wrack or Norwegian kelp, harvested from kelp beds in the cold waters of the North Atlantic. The whole plant is dried and milled, and each tablet is set at 750 mcg of iodine.

Kelp is a sea vegetable and one of the richest food sources of iodine. It also naturally contains potassium, calcium and magnesium in small amounts.

The tablet is bound with calcium carbonate, dicalcium phosphate, cellulose, croscarmellose (cross-linked carboxymethyl cellulose), magnesium stearate, purified water and silica. There are no GMOs, artificial colours, preservatives or sweeteners, and the label lists it as suitable for vegetarians and vegans. The kelp is tested by ISURA for contaminants.

How to take it

Adults take 1 tablet a day. If you take other iodine-containing products, such as a multivitamin, add up the totals and ask a health care practitioner whether the combined amount suits you. Keep out of the reach of children. The full directions and cautions are under How to Take.

How long a bottle lasts

At one tablet a day, the 180 tablets last six months, which makes this one of the lower-cost ways to buy iodine per day.

Who it suits

Adults who want their iodine from a seaweed source, vegetarians and vegans, people who eat little seafood, dairy or eggs, and anyone who uses non-iodized salt, such as sea salt or kosher salt, in their cooking. People who live inland, far from seafood, sometimes look at kelp for the same reason. The small tablet is easy to swallow and has no fishy or seaweed taste worth noting.

Storage

Keep the bottle closed in a cool, dry place and out of direct sunlight. The label asks you not to use it if the seal under the cap is broken.
