Guest guest Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 Pretty much all kelp is contaminated with toxins from the oceans they grow in. One of the major contaminants is mercury. I would steer away from any kelp products. ka > > Hey Val and poster, > > Just thought i'd let everyone know my experience with Iodine late last year. > > I have been hypothyroid for many years undiagnosed, with RT3 thyroid resistance. > > My labs show high t4 and mid range t3. > > Lat last year i began taking high strength kelp, in liquid form.
