Research Summary

Research demonstrates sea kelp's iodine bioavailability and potential benefits for thyroid health, though iodine content varies significantly by species and source. Studies indicate fucoidan in kelp exhibits immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory properties, though human clinical trials remain limited. The European Food Safety Authority acknowledges kelp's mineral content whilst noting the need for standardised products to prevent excessive iodine consumption.
