To Michelle / everyone taking KELP

Hello, I just added kelp to my routine and wanted to ask a couple of questions to everyone who is or was on it. Do you feel it has contributed to NBE? How long did it take to notice its effect? Did someone took it who had their thyroid function checked and the results said it was normal? That was my case, but I decided to take kelp anyway, because though I know my thyroid function isn't insufficient, I think it might be on the lower edge, cause I have pretty much all symptoms of low thyroid. Thanks!

I think if you truly have an underactive thyroid, then kep would help. However, kelp is very strong, and it can over-stimulate the thyroid. I am taking it (mostly for my hair, not so much for NBE). I started with 2 kelp capsules per day, but felt a little off, so I am now down to 1 kelp pill every other day.
Good luck!

I also added kelp for hair too, besides NBE. The pills I have contain the daily recomended dose of iodine in one pill (150 mcg) and the recomended use on the box says 1 to 3 pills per day. I will take two for a short time and then one. I agree that one should be careful with kelp, as iodine itself stimulates thyroid and too fast metabolism isn't good either.

Are you girls saying that Kelp speeds up metabalisim??? if so, would it speed it up enough to aid in weight loss. As you know some girls start a NBE program and first thing they notice is weight gain. Any thoughts???

I think it could help weight loss, but thyroxine has so many functions that it's hard to say what the overall effect would be (unless it has been tried and proven which I'm not aware of). But thyroxine deffinitely antagonises insulin, which stimulates synthesis and deposition of fats. If that effect was really big it would result in loosing weight, but also from the boobs. For NBE I think it's better to take only so much that it raises your temperature, but not burn too much fats.

Thanks Moon,, something to think about and keep in mind,, NBE mostly expands mammory glands and not necessarily contributes fat. So really is something to research. Thanks again.

I would have to say for helping with my body temp, yes kelp has definitely helped with NBE for me. I usually only take 150mcg with each pill (so 3x day to equal 450mcg total), but yesterday morning I tried taking 300mcg to see if that would further help my temp and it did go up a little higher than usual and that was an hour after taking it. Usually my temp only goes up to about 98.1 and this time it went up to 98.4. I remember when I first started taking it, it took about 2wks for my temp to start going up. The last time I had blood work done to check everything including thyroid levels was a few months after I had my son...about 3yrs ago, so I don't know what it's like now. But, it was normal back then. I know bb has put in their instruction sheets before that even if we don't have low body temp it's still okay to take kelp. My bottle of kelp says the same thing also about taking 150mcg 2-3x a day. I've taking 450mcg for almost 11 months now with no problems (knock on wood
Along with using the serum I use, my hair has seemed to grow faster all these months so I'm sure it helps with that also. My mom and sister are always commenting about how fast my hair grows. And that was before I started using that bb growth serum. Hope it helps with your routine!
Breast blessings everyone!

Michelle -- is your hair thicker and healthier too? Or just growing faster? I ordered the growth serum too, and I'm taking kelp, so hopefully this will all help!
As for feeling 'a little off,' it's just that I am very sensitive to things I put in my body, and with Kelp, it just felt really strong, right from the start. I felt kind of shaky and tingly from it. As soon as I lowered the dose, I felt fine. I want to use it to help with my hair, I just think I need to take small doses.
Good luck to everyone!

My hair is healthier and thicker now...the new growth that is. Cause my hair is a little past the middle of my back and I highlight my hair also...so the new growth that I've had the past few months is definitely thicker and much healthier looking than the rest of my hair. In fact, I'm always looking at the new healthier growth and wishing the rest of my hair looked like that. I'm trying to deep condition my hair at least once a week so that the old hair can look a little healthier. Massaging my scalp I'm sure helps also whenever I put the serum on. Good luck to you and hope the serum and kelp helps!!

Great, thanks everyone! I've been trying to grow my hair for the last 8 years and I never managed to get it past the middle of my back, the ends always got split and that's so annoying! I hope it grows nicer now and and I could sure do with a higher body temp for NBE too.

Way to go Michelle! I hope my hair grows too. I think my boyfriend is more interested in long hair than big boobs, haha! Hopefully I'll have both soon!
Good luck to all!

Sea Kelp is great, I use it in liquid for and actually add it to my shampoos and conditioners. It's a great canvas base for makeup also.
