Description:

NOW FOODS Kelp 150 mcg is a dietary supplement providing a natural source of iodine derived from kelp (a type of seaweed). Each tablet delivers 150 mcg of iodine to support normal thyroid function, healthy metabolism, and overall hormonal balance. This supplement is designed for adults seeking to maintain adequate iodine levels, especially in areas where dietary iodine intake may be low. It is not a medication but a nutritional supplement intended to complement a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle.

Indications:

• Helps maintain healthy metabolism and energy utilization.
• Assists in maintaining normal cognitive function and nervous system activity related to adequate iodine status.
• May help individuals with low dietary iodine intake (e.g., low consumption of iodized salt or seafood) to meet their daily iodine needs.
• General support for hormonal balance and overall health in adults requiring iodine supplementation as advised by a healthcare professional.
