What Is It? It is highly concentrated, and provides more benefits than eating kelp leaf alone. Kelp root extract Katsu Kelp is a combination of extract and powder of kelp roots prepared in tablet form. Katsu Kelp uses the root (stalk) of the plant because there is more nutritional value found there and it is collected offshore of Hokkaido, the northern island of Japan, where the ocean waters remain unpolluted. The extraction process used to make Katsu Kelp helps to assure that the content of sodium, which is high in most seaweed, is kept low; reduced from 13% to 3%. It remains a relatively rich source of minerals.

What does it do? Kelp may help in lowering blood pressure, reducing absorption of cholesterol, easing constipation, and cardiovascular conditions. Kelp is a great dietary supplement for those who seek weight loss, healthy hair, skin, and nails.

Testimonials:

"Kelp is perhaps the best known and most widely used of all sea plants. Katsu Kelp is unique in that it uses the kelp root and is processed to produce a product with lower sodium than other seaweed products. According to the research information available to me, kelp appears helpful in lowering blood pressure, relieving constipation, reducing swelling and regulating metabolism. It is rich in mineral nutrients and polysaccharides. I take Katsu Kelp along with Katsu Garlic as a daily health maintenance program."

Subhuti Dharmananda, Ph.D., Institute for Traditional Medicine

"I often prescribe Katsu Kelp to my patients as a food supplement because it provides them with large quantities of iodine, trace minerals, amino acids and vegetable fiber. Extracted from the root of deep sea kelp, it is a perfect food for people who want to maintain their healthy metabolism, intestinal regularity and beautiful hair and skin."

"I am pleased to update you on one of my patients. She is a 40-year-old woman with a history of extreme constipation, abuse of laxatives yet without true corrective results; she also had endometriosis.

I recommended she take Katsu Kelp and Garlic . She has been taking the herbal formulas as directed and has stopped all laxative use. The endometriosis does not affect her system now."

Melanie Lerner, O.M.D., Ph.D.

"I have suffered from thyroid trouble, I felt like I never returned to normal. I started using Katsu Kelp Root tablets, in about three months nails and hair had returned to normal. I can feel my energy level has improved and I feel fine."

Myra H. Barber

"As a practicing Acupuncturist, I am always asked by patients for dietary advice and I freely give this service. One patient asked me how to reduce her appetite and help regulate her thyroid function. I recommended the KATSU Garlic and KATSU Kelp tablets. She took them regularly at the recommended dosage, chewing them. She later reported that her appetite and food intake had seemed to decrease and she had much more energy! This is an amazing food with many benefits to enumerate!"
