First I will say I am not a professional and this is only my understanding.

It's good to know that these studies are being done.

However I would like to know who funded it? As that does have a large role to play in outcomes. I don't doubt that some Kelp's have this toxicity level, especially in areas high in industrial waste.

I take an iodine supplement for my memory problems, it is actually a thyroid hormone imbalance that causes many of those symptoms the study listed.

Kelp is high in Iodine which is why a lot of places recommend it for the thyroid.

The quality of the Kelp depends on where in it was harvested, who manufactured it and the processes used in preserving it.

As with any herb it should be taken with caution and with a professional practitioners or extremely knowledgeable herbalist's advice.

Also remember that you get what you pay for when it comes to herbs, you have to be very very picky as to where they were manufactured, and what the process to extraction is.


It's sad that becuase of a few bad companies the natural route is being put under scrutiny.
