Kombu Kelp contains a whopping 300 milligrams of iodine per 3.4 ounces (100 grams) of product. Per day you only need 150 micrograms, which equals about 1/20th of a gram of kombu kelp consumption per day. Kombu kelp contains so much iodine, in fact, that you’d be wise not to consume too much of this food because excess iodine can damage the thyroid gland (which is located in front of your neck).

The absorbent nature of seaweed fills it with iodine-rich seawater. It has over 60 nutrients in it that benefit the body.
