Sea Kelp Weight Loss

Hi. I have a weight problem. I want to become fitter and I`m trying really hard not to eat as much as I want to. I heard sea kelp is good for helping weight loss. Is that true?

Hi. Sea kelp really helped in losing weight. Kelp is a great source of iodine. Iodine is important for the thyroid gland, and the thyroid gland is an important regulator of metabolism. People in Japan eat sea kelp all the time and they have lower breast cancer rate. Sea kelp is also great for your skin and hair. 6 pills a day will help you in weight loss. Above all, sea kelp is the food you can eat as much as you want.

I just recently heard of taking kelp for weight loss. The posting says that I can take six a day but the bottle says not to exceed one a day. What would be the side effects of taking 6?

high doses of iodine can cause hearth problems and for people with thyroid gland problems it can pose serious health problems.

I started taking sea kelp about 4 days ago and I have noticed a HUGE difference in my appetite. I have tried numerous things in the past to curb my appetite and assist me in the weight loss process. As far as the dose goes, I think it all depends on the brand that you get. If the bottle says not to exceed over a certain amount then I suggest you listen to it. It could be because it's more pure and not as diluted as other pills. I am taking Nature's Herbs brand of Sea Kelp. On the bottle it suggests that I take 1 capsule 3x a day. I take 2 at once and they are 640 mg each... lol probably not a good idea to take 2 at a time, but that's all I take all day and it has seriously helped my appetite.

So the point? Just take what the bottle tells you to take. When you're buying herbs check brands and compare ingredients, milligrams etc. Go with the one that suits you best and ask your doctor or herbalist!
