Kelp

lotusleaf said: "I was in the health food shop earlier, looking for some vitamin suppplements that will help my weight loss, and the lady recommended a kelp based supplement called KLB6. Thought id tell you what it says: [I]"Kelp is a rich source of the trace mineral Iodine, which is necessary for normal growth and devlopment. Iodine is required for the healthy functioning of the thyroid gland. As a vital component of two thyroid hormones, iodine plays an important role in the body's metabolism and the rate at which the body burns food for energy. Vitamin B6 is a cofactor in over 100 enzyme reactions and plays a role in protein, fat and energy metabolism. Lecithin contains choline and inosital, and plays a part in the emulsification of fat."[/I] So, i got some, you have to take 2 capsules 3 times a day with meals if preferable, so im going to give it a go and see if theres any noticeable difference. Has anyone heard of this before??? or tried it or something similar??"
