    • Protects bone health, decreases thyroid antibodies in people with autoimmune thyroid disease and may reduce the risk of cancer. It also protects against mercury toxicity.
  • Potassium
    • Helps to control blood pressure and risk your risk of stroke.
  • Iron, Copper, and Zinc
    • Necessary for a range of bodily functions including wound healing, oxygen transportation, immune function, and cellular growth.
  • Vitamin A
    • Regulates growth and specialization of most of the body’s cells, as well as supporting embryonic and fetal development, eye development and function, and immune responses.
