Kelp
Kelp is type of seaweed that can be eaten raw, but it is usually dried, granulated, or ground into powder and is available in capsule form.
Kelp is a rich source of vitamins, especially the B vitamins, as well as of many valuable minerals and trace elements. It is reported to be very beneficial to brain tissue, the membranes surrounding the brain, the sensory nerves, and the spinal cord, as well as the nails and blood vessels. It has been used in the treatment of thyroid problems because of its iodine content, and is useful for other conditions as varied as hair loss, obesity, and ulcers. It protects against the effects if radiation and softens stools. Kelp is recommended as a daily dietary supplement, especially for people with mineral deficiencies.
