Let's talk about spirulina.

I am looking for some kind of algae or seaweed to consume because I need the iodine. Does anyone recommend it? Is there something else better? Does the powder contain iodine, or does it get processed? Anyone? Thank you!

Duce or kelp will have loads. Actually I think all seaweeds have plenty of iodine.

Ooo, I LOVE spirulina in my smoothies...gives me a nice energy buzz. I put about 2 teaspoons in there.

i don't think processing depletes it of iodine, but i like the flavour of it with as little processing as posible.

If you get the spirulina, you might want to avoid the spirulina FLAKES because they have a processed soy additive (or they used to). Just make sure to read the label. The powdered spirulina doesn't have the soy (again, check the label).

I like spirulina a lot, but I quit eating it because it made me constipated. I personally prefer dulse and nori.

Best wishes, Ally

I'm allergic to spirulina. Seawood is good though.

Yeah, I'll check the labels. I may try nori, too. Thanks everyone.
