Kelp
Kelp is a type of large brown seaweed found in the ocean. Considered a staple in many Asian countries, kelp is also seen as a superfood as it contains many nutrients such as vitamin K, folate, magnesium; and in particularly, iodine.
Iodine is an essential mineral needed for the production of thyroid hormones and with that, the iodine-rich kelp has been used to treat hypothyroidism, an iodine deficiency in patients.
