    4 Stars SEA KELP- noticed an improvement 19/03/2012

    Advantages Advantages small pills, noticed change in hair and nail condition

    Disadvantages Disadvantages they smell bad and taste horrid if you don't swallow them quickly

    I bought some sea kelp 30mg tablets from Holland and Barrets, (good 'n natural select herbals is the brand). I have been taking them for 2 months (2 a day) and i have noticed that my nails are stronger and grow extremely fast, my hair which was in quite bad condition seems thicker and shinier with much less breakage (i blow dry and straighten it daily). I would like to point out i have also been taking sea kelp with a skin hair and nails multivitamin (also from holland and barret) so its hard to say which supplement is contributing to my hair/nail growth. I also eat also of veg and drink ... more

    3 Stars my experience taking some sea kelp vitamins over a few months 22/09/2010
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages supposed to be beneficial, natural product

    Disadvantages Disadvantages no changes in hair growth

    I've been taking Holland & Barrett Sea Kelp 30 mg on and off for a while now. It states on the bottle that you can take up to 3 and I've always been taking the maximum amount I can and haven't really noticed any changes. My reasons for buying After reading online into hair growth (I want mine to growth to the length it was before i cut it to my chest last year and regretted it) I found that some people had recommended it for this so decided to try it. Has it worked? Annoyingly it's done nothing for my hair however diet may contribute. I'm not particularly healthy (i smoke, eat a lot of junk ... more

    4 Stars sea kelp 30/12/2008
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages faster metabolism and hair growth

    Disadvantages Disadvantages taste is not so good

    I decided to buy sea kelp tablets due to having hypothyroidism. With the nature of it's iodine properties I must say it helped very much. I purchased mine from Holland and Barrett, at an absolutely reasonable price. I started noticing the changes within two weeks. My metabolism sped up, which was such a relief as i had been searching for something like this for quite a while. It was also helpful for the use of other essentials, in the sense that it made hair grow much quicker, which i would say is a added bonus. One slight issue with it is the taste, it's not exactly that great, so be sure to ... more

    5 Stars Quick review of Sea Kelp by uoor 07/12/2008
    I have taken Kelp from about age 16 whenever I've decided I want to grow my hair. These tablets are a god send for speeding up hair growth, although it does mean you have to shave legs and armpits more often!! I'm not sure if they've had any effect on weight loss, I've been the same weight since being 15 (now 24) so maybe the Kelp is the reason. No negative side effects, no nasty breakouts at all... although they are known to make you a little more, erm... regular!

    5 Stars Quick review of Sea Kelp by raider1795 10/09/2008
    I just buy sea kelp from my local Chinese grocery. It comes dried and tightly packed in large packets. Each packet costs 35p. Each day at work my lunch consists of a packet of Chinese / Thai noodles soaked in boiling water with a handful of sea kelp and an egg. Great nutrition at a cost of approx 40p per day. I buy the noodles in boxes of 30 at a rate of 25p per bag, a helping of kelp equates to 5p and an egg 10p. Great value, tastes great and nutiritious!

    5 Stars KELP IS KING!! 15/02/2008
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Metabolism a go, go!

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Don't use if you already have a hyperactive thyroid!

    A friend of mine gave me a tub of sea kelp tablets (Holland and Barrett) after she mistakenly bought them to help her put on weight (which they don't do!). So I had a tub of the stuff and although wasn't looking for them, they had arrived in to my life. 'What the heck, i'll take 'em', I thought. Well, I can tell you that I noticed the difference almost instantly. For quite a few years now, i've actually been having a lot of dietry problems and suffer from constipation quite often - anyway, as soon as I started taking the mighty Kelp, I found that my 'toilet trips' became regular as clock work ... more

    4 Stars Not your average seaweed dish! 20/01/2005
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Natural remedy for a varity of ailments inc. weak hair & brittle nails

    Disadvantages Disadvantages 3-a day dose may cause certain people to develop spots, taste of tablets

    This review is based on my experiences of "Natures Aid Norwegian Sea Kelp." Frustrated of thin hair that dwindled down to my shoulders and broke whenever I brushed it and flaky nails, I sought a natural product which would help me to grow healthy long locks. I was recommended sea kelp due to the fact it is rich in minerals and elements such as iodine which, amongst other things, promotes healthy hair growth. Sea kelp also helps to regulate the production of thyroid hormones in the body, which in turn, regulates metobolic rate. I chose this brand of tablets for two main reasons. Firstly they ... more
