It makes up for the deficiency of iodine in the body, due to which the function of the thyroid gland is normalized. Cure Graves disease, endemic goiter and hyperthyroidism .
Interestingly, in the Far East, dry kelp is added to the dough for baking bread, based on the calculation of 0.4 mg of powder per 1 kg of flour.
In addition, sea ginseng replenishes iron reserves in the body, eliminating the signs of anemia.
Strengthens the immune system, nourishes the brain.
Improves the condition of the skin, removes the appearance of cellulite, stretch marks (when applied externally in the form of masks and wraps).
Calms the central nervous system, increases the efficiency of the body, removes from prolonged stress .
