Analysis

This Nature's Answer Kelp Thallus product provides 150 mcg of iodine per serving, derived naturally from kelp, which aligns perfectly with the recommended daily allowance (RDA) for adults. Its price per serving of $0.10 is exceptionally low, offering excellent value in the market. Kelp is a widely accepted natural source of iodine, providing the mineral in a food-matrix form, which some prefer. This product is well-suited for general daily iodine supplementation to support thyroid health without exceeding safe limits, and its positive reviews suggest good user satisfaction.

Pros

Cons

Warnings
  • Individuals with pre-existing thyroid conditions should consult a healthcare professional before taking kelp supplements, as even moderate iodine doses can affect thyroid function.
