Kelp is found in all seven Emerald Energy® formulas.

About Our Kelp
There are two common types of kelp: Laminaria digitata and Ascophyllum nodosum. While the nutritional profile of both species is incredibly similar, we only use Laminaria digitata in our formulations because it contains a much higher level of iodine and tastes significantly better.

Our kelp (Laminaria digitata) grows deep in the cold sub‑tidal waters of Northwestern Iceland. Other milled ‘kelp’ available on the market is either intertidal Ascophyllum(rockweed) from Norway, Atlantic Canada, or New England, or the surface growing fronds of Macrocystis, harvested in California. Our digitata is also distinguished by being the only kelp currently available that is sustainably harvested, dried, milled, and bagged following the organic standards of QAI (Quality Assurance International) in the United States and TUN, the local Icelandic certifier.

About Kelp In General
In general, kelp has an alkalinizing effect on the body, which is often needed due to a common diet of acid-forming foods, sugar, and coffee. Kelp is so rich in minerals that it may help curb deficiencies. With its high iodine content, kelp also helps enhance thyroid function.
