Seaweed is known by many in the Far East, and increasingly more people around the world, for its important health and nutritional benefits. A key health benefit is that Seaweed is a source of Iodine, and Tyrosine, which support cognitive and nervous system functions. Iodine, commonly found in dairy and meat products, is particularly important if you are on a vegan or vegetarian diet. A nutritious diet is packed full of vitamins and minerals, and Seaweed is a great source of vitamins A, C E and K, as well as folate, zinc, sodium, calcium, and magnesium.
