Organic Kelp (Ascophyllum Nodosum)

Organic Kelp (Ascophyllum Nodosum) is a brown seaweed harvested from the cold, clean waters of the North Atlantic. Also known as Norwegian kelp, rockweed, or knotted wrack, Ascophyllum nodosum is one of the most nutrient-dense sea vegetables available. It is naturally rich in iodine, iron, calcium, magnesium, and over 60 trace minerals that are often lacking in modern diets.

Nutritional Profile

Kelp is one of nature’s most concentrated sources of iodine, a mineral essential for healthy thyroid function. It also contains fucoidan, alginic acid, and a broad spectrum of vitamins and minerals. This dense nutritional profile has made kelp a popular ingredient in supplements, superfoods, and functional food products.

How to Use Kelp

Our organic kelp is available in a versatile form suitable for many applications:

• Add a small amount to smoothies, juices, and green drinks for a mineral boost
• Sprinkle into soups, stews, and broths as a natural flavor enhancer (it adds umami depth)
• Mix into salad dressings and seasoning blends
• Use in pet food and animal feed formulations as a mineral supplement
• Incorporate into garden fertilizer and soil amendment mixes

A little kelp goes a long way due to its concentrated mineral content. Start with small amounts and adjust to taste.

Ideal for Supplement and Pet Brands

Kelp is widely used in the supplement, pet food, and organic agriculture industries. Supplement companies use it in thyroid support formulations. Pet food brands add it for coat health and mineral balance. Organic farmers use it as a natural soil conditioner and plant growth promoter.
