That appears to be the same product as " Modifilan " , which

has been around for a long time:

http://www.modifilan.com/

I've heard an occasional good report about Modifilan,

although when I tried it a several years ago, I found it

impossible to tolerate, even in tiny doses (anxiety,

inability to sleep, chest pains, etc.)

I'd be interested to know if anyone else here has tried it, and what they

thought - I've considered it myself, recently.  Marc, why do you think you

reacted to it like that? A strong detox reaction, or to (what I assume would be)

the naturally present iodine?

I don't think it's the iodine -- I've experimented with various iodine

supplements and did not get that particular reaction. I don't really

know why I reacted so strongly to this.

Note that this product is merely concentrated seaweed (the fiber has

been removed). In my local health food stores, you can buy this

particular type of seaweed (unconcentrated) in dehydrated form. It's

called " Kombu " . I find this more tolerable, although I do get kind

of hyper on it as well, so it's a similar reaction, although not as

strong and more easily controllable by portion size.

Interesting. Do you feel that you derive enough benefit from the

non-concentrated form for it to be worthwhile, or did you just try it

as an experiment?

Actually, I was so sensitive that I felt even the regular seaweed

was a bit strong, and didn't continue with it. However, some people

may find this a beneficial (and inexpensive) way to get some minerals

into their diet, as seaweed is high in minerals. I tried various

kinds of dehydrated seaweed (Kombu, Wakame, and Hijiki), and only felt

best when using very small amounts of each. And I think that the

Wakame and Hijiki gave fewer negative reactions than the Kombu.
