Unlike kelp tablets and kelp capsules liquid kelp is processed raw at the source where it is harvested. Raw kelp is put through a low temperature extraction process to create a formulation that has much higher nutritional value, in a much more appetizing form than other kelp supplements such as rock hard kelp tablets that are difficult to swallow & digest or capsules that leave an unpleasant seaweed taste in your mouth for hours.

What are the Positive Aspects Of Liquid Vitamins and Minerals?

Firstly they get into our body via the food we consume and the liquids we drink. Alternatively, we can ingest vitamins in capsule and tablet form to add the vitamins and minerals to our diet we require. There are various forms of ingesting supplements and one of the newer ways is ingesting it in its liquid grade. Are liquid vitamins and supplements more useful to our bodies than in tablet or capsule form? Let’s see.

Though liquid vitamins have in the past, had a less favourable taste than supplements coated in sugar as flavoured or chewy pill methods, they’re definitely easier to assimilate into our bodies. Many cases have been recorded in which youngsters have troubles with gagging, inhaling and choking just because of the size of the tablet, pill or capsule. The equivalent issue exists also for grown-ups who are unable to control their jaws and not able to stomach anything that isn’t in the form of a fluid.

The absorption rate of liquid vitamin supplements can be as high as 98% and your system receives them almost immediately. Pills and tablets are much more difficult for your body to absorb. The concentration of vitamins in liquid form is also much higher 3-5 times more than standard tablets. This concentration creates more biological activity in your system creating a greater health benefit.

Do liquid vitamins also contain necessary antioxidants to ward off the damaging free radicals that damage our immune system from exposure to toxins and other elements? Absolutely! Vitamins E, C and A are antioxidants found in most multi vitamin supplements, but just as before, they are much easier and quicker in their assimilation into our bodies when in liquid form. These particular vitamins are not produced by the body so they need to be ingested in supplemental form or from eating massive quantities of fresh fruits and vegetables. Antioxidants are our primary source of fighting against the ravages of free radicals, which work to weaken our immune system.

Many people decline to recognise the benefits of liquid supplements partly because of the purported wipeout of their gains by digestive acids of the stomach. Naysayers believe that any vitamin or mineral that the digestive system doesn’t acknowledge as part of the action of digestion are expelled as waste. The opposite is, as a matter of fact the truth. Our gastrointestinal system actually favours or is more capable of absorbing liquid supplements and minerals more than those created in pill or capsule form of delivery.

A vitamin pill, capsule or tablet has to be abided entirely before it can do good for the physical body. It has to be dissolved into absorbable nutrients or more than seventy percent of it will not be assimilated by the body. Liquid supplements on the other hand allow for a better and gentler result for the gastrointestinal system. Since it doesn’t count in any way on mechanical digestion, up to 90% of it can be assimilated immediately by the body. It’s essential to realize that digestion doesn’t primarily operate to destruct vitamins and minerals but more to metamorphose them into matters it can use to improve the overall composition of the body.

Other questions posed as a negative are the quantity of colloidal minerals detected in liquid vitamins. Are they disadvantageous or not? Truly, even plants and fruits carry a trace of these minerals in them. Apples, for example, have 3-5 mg of aluminium as it is one of the most prevalent chemical element* that can be found on the Planet. That said, do you see anybody telling you that apples are unsafe to your wellness? To the contrary, what we’re usually told is that an apple a day keeps the doctor away.

Everything in Nature contains at least trace amounts of colloidal minerals, and there is no risk posed to humans from consuming them in trace amounts. The fact that liquid vitamins contain trace amounts of them is a good thing because it is mimicking nature. The facts are quite apparent as to the benefits of liquid vitamins over traditional “solid” structure vitamins in pill or tablet form. At the end of the day, it is your choice how to ingest vitamin supplements. The important thing is that you make the decision to take them everyday.

Breast Cancer: The Connection of Iodine, Thyroid Problems altered by Kelp Health Benefits
Breast cancer is one of the most familiar health risks women face, that can see a kelp health benefit. Mortality rates have not changed significantly since records started to be kept in the 1920s. Surgery, chemotherapy, mammography, and radiation have not altered the mortality rate. Eighty five percent of women who develop breast cancer will die of causes directly related to breast cancer. (Source: Dr. David Derry) As breast cancer rates across the country continue to increase, more people are interested in early intervention or prevention. Dr. Deny’s theories, based on extensive review of published medical literature in combination with his experience as a clinician, are not his alone. In fact, research is already underway on the impact of iodine on cancer prevention and reduction-a VERY important kelp health benefit. Dr. Derry proposes supporting the body’s natural immune system and metabolic health with proper thyroid levels, and combining that with the intake of a small daily dose of iodine-another Kelp Health Benefit.

FORGOTTEN KELP HEALTH BENEFITS
In February of this year health researchers at UCLA Berkeley(1), called for a dramatic increase in scientific research into kelp health benefits after Discovering that a diet containing kelp may decrease the risk of estrogen-dependent Diseases in humans, such as breast cancer”

The lure of the sea with its mysterious wonders has intrigued me since childhood. I dreamt of pirates in search of buried treasure and beautiful mermaids with their long seaweed like locks. Now as an adult I continue to be intrigued by the sea and its amazing bounty of treasures.

One such ocean wonder is the family laminaria, otherwise known as kelp. Kelp beds have long been known to be the rainforests of the ocean, providing habitat protection and feeding grounds for thousands of underwater species, ranging from the tiniest of micro organisms to whales. As an algae, kelp is an important oxygen producer. It has been said that nearly 50 - 70 percent of the world’s oxygen comes from the ocean.

Nowadays, with our agricultural lands so vastly exhausted of many key nutrients, research is showing that both in Canada and the U.S.A., that the vitamins and minerals in our fresh foods are steadily declining. The magnitude and variety of nutrients found in the humble kelp plant is truly astonishing. The vast nutrients found in kelp are calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, sodium, all the trace elements, B vitamins, vitamin A, C, E, P, K and beta-carotene. The standard American diet (sad of short) predominantly relies on foods that acidify the body, thus de-mineralizing our systems and creating disease. Kelp on the other hand is solidly alkaline, providing a plethora of nutrients and enhancing our body’s ability to fight off disease. Kelp also contains several essential amino acids and is a rich source of enzymes. Traditionally kelp has been used as a natural anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and blood purifier. It has been also used for joint health, cellular regeneration, as a cleanser and detoxifier, and to correct vitamin and mineral deficiencies

As a Health Food Consultant, my focus has always been on whole food nutrition and helping people with their choices so that their bodies absorb the optimum amount of nutrients. One of the products that provides this optimum nutrition is a liquid kelp from a species known as Laminaria digitata, a large, leafy brown edibleseaweed that grows along the colder coastlines of Nova Scotia. In recommending kelp to customers for their health needs, we have found that this product to be extremely well tolerated and absorbed. This is an important factor, especially for people who have difficulty absorbing pills or capsules. An added bonus is that liquid kelp is extremely soothing and healing to people with digestive and gastrointestinal disorders. Another benefit is that it is a clear, odorless substance with a neutral taste, making it appealing to those people who would otherwise turn up their noses at the fishy after taste of kelp when it is in pill, powdered or capsule form. Alginates which are the soft non-woven fibers derived from seaweed, are effective in treating habitual constipation and gastric bloating because they swell in intestinal juices rather than water or gastric juices, making it non irritating and providing a cleansing effect on the digestive tract.

Alginates work effectively to enable the human body to get rid of heavy metals and toxins. It can help protect the body against the effects of radiation and is protective against the absorption of toxic heavy metals like mercury, cadmium, plutonium and cesium. It has been shown in studies that alginate supplements can reduce strontium-90 absorption from the intestines by up to as much as 83%.

Kelp is an extremely rich source of iodine. Iodine is a major component of thyroxin and triiodothyronine, hormones that affect weight gain and cellular metabolic rates, making kelp a wonderful adjunct in the fight against excess weight and obesity. Based on human studies, within two months of consuming 4mg of iodine daily, cyclical breast lumps and cysts disappear. Kelp also has a role to play in the fight against breast cancer. In his book, BREAST CANCER & IODINE, Dr. David Derry, MD, a physician in Victoria, B.C., discusses fibrocystic breast disease and its relationship to breast cancer and the role that thyroid hormone seems to play. When thyroid hormone is in adequate doses it appears to reinforce connective tissue, which acts as a barrier in inhibiting cancer from metastasizing. In Japan, the Biomedical Research Laboratories of Takara Shuzo and the Research Institute for Glycotechnology Advancement have focused their attention on the anti tumor properties of Fucoidan, a polysaccharide, found in Laminaria digitata and have managed to confirm that this substance causes certain types of rapidly growing cancer cells to self-destruct.

Kelp has long been a mainstay of the beauty industry. Seaweed wraps are more useful than just for relaxation purposes. A simple wrap can help rid the skin and body of toxins, while at the same time increases the skins absorption of vitamins and minerals. It stimulates circulation for better blood flow and can help break up fatty deposits, making it a wonderful treatment for cellulite, sagging skin and stretch marks. It can also increase your metabolism, allowing you to have more energy and to lose weight more easily. If your hair and face are dried out due to excessive sunbathing and chlorine, try taking a mister bottle, filling it with fresh spring water and 1/3 liquid kelp and lightly misting your face. Kelp provides nourishment while regenerating and firming slackened skin, protecting against moisture loss. Your skin will look more youthful, glowing and hydrated. Try misting on your hair for more bounce, body and shine. It is extremely soothing and healing when sprayed on sunburned skin. I can personally can attest to this. Liquid kelp is a miraculous ocean wonder and ant aging solution, nourishing you internally, as well as externally.

Reflecting back on my childhood dreams of pirates and mermaids, come to think about it, those mermaids were onto something.
