KELP

SnowWhite · 04-09-2009, 08:17 PM

Do any of you take Kelp supplements?

One of the personal trainers at my gym suggested I try it. My only concern is that I read it helped with the thyroid function. I am already on thyroid meds. Will it interfere with the meds?

Why do YOU take it and how much do you take?

THANKS!

What you are actually taking is iodine, and iodine is required to make thyroid hormones, so if you are deficient in iodine, it would be helpful. There's more information here: Iodine for Health by Donald W. Miller, Jr., MD and here: OPTIMOX RESEARCH INFORMATION

David Brownstein MD, Guy Abraham, and Jorge Flechas MD are all proponents of iodine therapy on the web.
