Sea Kelp nutrients supply essential minerals and iodine for metabolic health and well as hoof and skin.
This is Atlantic Kelp harvested off the coast of Maine; known as Norwegian kelp, knotted kelp, knotted wrack or egg wrack. It is rich in iodine and complex minerals, and has a salty taste due to the presence of macro and micronutrients.
