Why is Seaweed the original Superfood?
A Powerful Superfood
Doctor Seaweed's natural and plant-based supplements centre around sustainable Scottish seaweed which is a powerful superfood. Seaweed is naturally rich in the essential nutrient iodine which has a plethora of benefits.
As our bodies don't make this nutrient, it is essential that we get enough iodine in our diet. However, research reveals that up to 80% of women in the UK are deficient. Benefits of optimal iodine intake include:
- Thyroid health
- A balanced metabolism
- Improved energy levels
- Healthy brain function
- Skin health
- Growth in children
- Functioning nervous system
Scottish seaweed provides a rich and natural source of iodine for optimal absorption.
Independent research shows that seaweed releases iodine more slowly, with longer retention in the body as compared to artificial sources (potassium iodide) often used in other supplements.
