I’ve been advised to take “kelp tablets”, can I take Seagreens® instead?

Preferably. Seagreens® Iodine+ Capsules are the only pure seaweed source of iodine with nothing extracted, nothing added. Plus they have an outstanding proportionate balance of all the micronutrients required for iodine metabolism.

Kelp is often used as a generic term for all seaweeds, but is actually a prolific deep water species called Laminaria, farmed in vast quantities for its extracts in many industrial applications.

The 'overspill' is commonly made into cheap tablets and capsules because it contains a disproportionate amount of iodine. But it is not certified biodynamic/organic, tablets always contain fillers, binders and other additives, and capsules normally contain additional flowing agents.

Are Seagreens® good for children?

Yes Seagreens® has a high omega oil content which is valuable for the concentration and brain power of children, as well as adults.  It is also effective with the management and treatment of Hyperactivity (ADHD).  Also Dulse seaweed has 14 times more calcium than cow’s milk. Some remarkable results have been achieved with autistic children (see testimonials).

From what age can you start to take Seagreens®?

The earlier you start the more benefit you will receive.  A lactating mother taking Seagreens® would be passing on the unique benefits of seaweed to her baby through her breast milk.  Children from the age of 6 months can be given seaweed on their food, through puberty to adulthood.  It is advisable for all ages young and old.  Please see dosage below.

Can you take Seagreens® when pregnant or lactating?

Yes, Seagreens® can be included in the daily diet before, during and after pregnancy as an ideal foundational food - safe to use while breast-feeding - providing a complete and balanced nutrient profile including the micronutrients like folic acid and selenium which are often taken as synthetic or formulated supplements.

Can I take Seagreens® with other medication?

Can I take Seagreens® with other vitamin/mineral supplements?  … and do I need to?

Because Seagreens® seaweed contains such a full spectrum of nutrients it is not necessary to take other supplements.  However, if you have been advised by a consultant or therapist to do so then taking them at the same time as will aid the absorption of your supplements.

Generally experience shows that prolonged daily use rather than higher daily intake is the key to efficacy. It also indicates that the relationship and balance between the nutrients in Seagreens®, and their entirely natural quality, may explain their efficacy rather than the actual amount of each that is present.

In all cases, experience shows that although debility may be addressed within weeks, genuine change and improvement accrues from long term use, and usually becomes very apparent to the subject from between 6 and 12 months when underlying causes rather than symptoms begin to be addressed and optimum health can be reached.

Can I use Seagreens® as part of a detox plan?

Seagreens® can help as part of a detox plan but should not be substituted for meals.  Seaweed assists with removing toxins from your body that have been absorbed over time through your food and the environment.  It binds harmful chemicals such as heavy metals and pollutants so that they can’t be reabsorbed and escorts them out of the body.

Can Seagreens® help with weight-loss?

Seaweed has a long history of aiding weight loss and being used in herbal combinations and diet foods.  This is due to the mucilage, fibre and bulk in seaweed which stimulates proper intestinal function whilst promoting a feeling of satiety and preventing overeating.  Seagreens® should always be taken along side a sensible eating regime.  You many want to consult a nutritionist or dietician for advice on a good eating plan before undertaking your weight-loss programme.
