Higher Nature Ocean Kelp Tablets

Disadvantages: Horrible taste if you let it dissolve in your mouth.

...Sea kelp is in the form of tablets, they are easy to swollw and should be taken with food. Emily, my friend who told me about sea kelp said the tablets worked pretty much as soon as she started taking them. her hair grew a lot more easier and she also found that her hair looked more healthy.

There can be side affects as with all products. Do not take sea kelp in you are pregnant, lactating or on any other medication unless you consult your doctor first. If you have any doubts also contact your doctor its better to be safe than sorry. Never exceed 3 a day other wise you will overdose and this can do... Read review
