VitaKelp® Hebridean Seaweed
VitaKelp™ is a highly nutritious edible seaweed that is wild harvested using proprietary processing, from the pristine sea lochs of the Scottish Outer Hebridean Islands. The nutritional profile of this brown seaweed, species Ascophyllum nodosum—commonly called Egg Wrack, Knotted Wrack or Rock Weed—cannot be matched in land plants and provides minerals at levels exceeding all other “superfoods. ”

- Product Dosage
The recommended dosage of VitaKelp™ (500-1000 mg) provides 350-700 mcgs of iodine, exceeding the U.S. RDI for iodine. Many nutrition experts believe the U.S. RDI for iodine is too conservative, especially when compared to the Japanese, whose higher iodine intake from seaweed consumption has been shown to provide a protective effect.
- Sustainability
Seaweed is highly sustainable, with no requirement for fresh water, land or fertilizer to grow, and the factory where it is processed has won numerous environmental and sustainability awards. VitaKelp®Hebridean Seaweed is certified-organic and kosher.
