✨ Description

From the cold, pristine waters of the North Atlantic comes one of nature’s most complete mineral sources — Kelp Powder.
This nutrient-dense sea vegetable is a true ocean superfood, brimming with iodine, magnesium, calcium, iron, potassium, and trace minerals essential for balanced energy and thyroid health.

Long treasured in coastal herbal traditions, Kelp supports metabolism, hair and nail strength, detoxification, and hormone balance.
It nourishes the thyroid gland — the body’s internal regulator — promoting healthy temperature, mood, and vitality.

Its deep ocean-green color and naturally salty flavor make it a versatile addition to teas, smoothies, and savory dishes alike.
