• Brown kombu is an excellent source of vitamins and minerals: Kombu contains at least 46 minerals, 16 amino acids (building blocks of protein) and 11 different vitamins. The best known minerals in kombu are iodine, salt, iron, potassium, phosphorus and calcium. The main vitamins in kelp are vitamin A and niacin.
• Helps regulate thyroid function: due to its high natural iodine content, brown algae is important in regulating thyroid hormones. Thanks to higher levels of iodine in our bodies, our metabolism and energy levels are also more stable.
• Helps hydrate the body: This is especially important if you are chronically ill or have caught a influenza virus. Make yourself a healing soup or broth from kelp and restore the water and minerals your body cries out for.
• It also assists to weight loss: Due to kombu’s iodine content and it’s role in thyroid function, one of the benefits of brown algae is improved metabolism and energy levels. An iodine deficiency can slow down natural metabolism. Therefore, adding kombu to your diet will help to naturally improve the body’s metabolic rate and stabilize metabolism, and naturally improve weight loss.
• Improves body pH: Kombu is an alkaline food and also helps to alkalise our bodies, which in turn promotes health.
