Eco-Friendly Iodine

Natural IODINE from certified organic kelp, rich in valuable minerals

Although it is fundamental to health, iodine is one of the nutrients most commonly lacking in the modern diet.

Iodine is one of the essential minerals needed for proper growth, metabolism and overall body function.

According to EFSA-approved health claims, iodine contributes to:

• normal thyroid function,
• normal production of thyroid hormones,
• normal energy-yielding metabolism,
• normal functioning of the nervous system,
• normal cognitive function,
• maintenance of normal skin,
• normal growth of children.

Iodine also plays a role in:

Iodine is an essential micronutrient that the body cannot produce on its own. It must be supplied from external sources – just like magnesium, iron or selenium.

That is why iodine has always been one of the fundamental elements in human nutrition.

For hundreds of years, coastal cultures have considered marine foods – fish, algae and seaweed – to be nourishing and health-supporting foods. Macroalgae are known to be particularly rich in iodine, with brown seaweeds, especially kelp, containing some of the highest amounts.

In traditional natural medicine, marine sources of iodine have been valued not only for their high content of bioavailable iodine, but also for their broad spectrum of minerals, with the belief that iodine works best in its natural matrix rather than as an isolated substance.

Iodine from kelp naturally occurs alongside amino acids, polysaccharides and marine minerals – which means the body recognizes it in the same way it recognizes nutrients from food.

The result is better absorption, gentler action and more stable iodine levels in tissues.

The natural power of iodine from organic seaweed

Our iodine is exceptionally pure and completely natural. It comes from the sea – the environment from which life originated. Unlike many seaweeds available worldwide, which are often exposed to water pollution, our kelp comes from the clean Atlantic waters near Connemara National Park and is known worldwide for its natural purity and mineral richness.

An exceptionally pure, biologically active source of iodine.

Our kelp bioextract is standardized to contain 200 mg of iodine per 100 ml, which means that each drop provides 100 µg of pure iodine.

Natural support for weight management:

It contains fucoxanthin and polysaccharides such as alginic acid, which support fat metabolism, metabolic processes and the feeling of satiety.

Kelp is also one of the richest natural sources of micronutrients in the world.

It contains more than 60 different trace elements, including:

Macro- and micronutrients:

Calcium – often in amounts higher than in milk
Magnesium
Potassium
Iron
Zinc
Copper
Selenium – very important for thyroid function
Chromium
Manganese

Vitamins:

Vitamin K
Vitamin A
Vitamin C
B vitamins, including B1, B2, B3, B6 and even small amounts of B12

Bioactive compounds:

Alginates – natural polysaccharides with detoxifying properties
Fucoidans – polysaccharides with immunomodulatory and antioxidant properties
Alginic acid
Laminarin – a marine beta-glucan that supports immune function.

Before modern pharmacology developed in the 20th century, iodine was considered one of the most important and versatile substances used in medical practice. In the 19th and early 20th centuries, doctors used it very widely – from supporting immunity and the respiratory system to general preventive care. At the time, it was regarded as playing a key role in maintaining overall physiological balance, making it a common component of traditional medicine cabinets.

In the 20th century, particularly during its first half, doctors routinely prescribed iodine in amounts ranging from several dozen to several hundred milligrams per day, exceeding today’s recommended intake by approximately 100 to even 1,000 times.
