Starwest Botanicals Organic Kelp Powder - Nutrient Rich, Natural Source of Iodine, Potassium, Magnesium, Zinc, Iron, & Calcium, Certified Kosher, Non-GMO - 16 oz Bag

Fantastic product, came packaged well and easy to seal back up. I use this in my pups food. I make his food fresh and home made, I use the recommended amount given by a canine nutritionist I follow and have virtually met with before to perfect Milo's (my pup) meal plan. This specific kelp powder has a very light smell, it is easy to use and dissolves quickly into the food by just mixing it into the meat and veg. I also use organic powdered egg shell and Carn4 seed mix in place of his multi vitamin as a combo of seeds were put in place of his multi vitamin since the specific multivitamin we want no longer ships from the UK. Remember to consult your vet and/or pet nutritionist if you have one before giving your pet any new supplements. Kelp has many health benefits for a dog including improved skin and coat condition, enhanced immune function, better digestive health, and support for thyroid and metabolic functions due to its rich nutrient profile. Also good for dental health! This product will last us for months since the bag is pretty big and completely filled, great value for money considering all of the benefits and size.

No more tarter on my dog’s teeth. Amazing stuff. Highly recommend!

I've been buying Starwest stuff for quite awhile and so had little hesitation in ordering this product. Again, they came through with a perfect product, packaged perfectly, and delivered in a timely manner This kelp is extremely fine consistency and has virtually no moisture in it if any. There are no clumps and the color is appropriate for dried kelp. There is a bit of an ocean smell to it, but it comes from the ocean, so what would you expect. To me, that says it's fresh. There is also an appropriate sweet smell to it and if used properly, will also add a bit of non-sugary sweetness to whatever you put it in. There are right ways and wrong ways to use powdered kelp, and if you aren't used to the product, then you should always seek to put it in something else. It makes a great dashi, fantastic smoothies, and mighty fine baked goods. For those people who complain because it sticks to the roof of your mouth, of course it does. It's powder and not meant to be eaten. Flour and corn starch do the same thing, so downgrading it on that basis is just plain silly. Powdered kelp is a grey-green or you might call it olive green. It is not bright grass green as some people apparently are confused. I will leave the bio-nutritional value to other websites and comments. But if you want kelp, this is a good product. Please just don't downgrade it because it looks, smells, and tastes like kelp.

Good product, smells fresh enough and has that mineral sea taste of kelp

This is a great way to save money instead of buying the pills

This is very fine and soft for skin.

Item arrived on time and appears to be as advertised

This tastes so horrible. I really wasn't prepared for how bad this was. This doesn't even taste like seaweed. It tastes like rotten fish. You know how about one out of every twenty beaches smells really, really bad? I'm sure that they harvested this seaweed from that beach. I know that there are a whole bunch of other people who are warning you about the horrific taste, but please don't make my mistake and get this for protein shakes. I have an iron stomach, and I can usually handle anything. But, I had three protein shakes that were about 1/3rd kelp powder, and I'm not able to ever eat any more kelp. I didn't actually throw this up, but I did have to lie down and do meditation after consuming it. It's a way different and more decomposing-tasting kelp than the other ones that I've tried. Okay, now that I've warned you about how bad it tastes, even if you're used to bad tasting things, this can be used for a ton of other stuff. You can feed it to dogs, you can use it for fertilizer, you can use it on your hair and on your skin, you can keep it around in case of accidental radiation poisoning, and you can use it for practical jokes. At all of these uses, I rate it a 5/5. Just, please don't get this full pound intending on eating it all, like I did.

A great taste enhancer. I love it!

Creo que es un buen producto, pero al informarme no tengo claro si es la alga kelp o si es una mezcla de algas.

Daß das tatsächlich Algenpulver ist, wird bei der ersten Einnahme riech- und schmeckbar: Der Geschmack ist durchdringend nach Algen, so wie ich es als Kind an der Nordsee und am Mittelmeer als Geruch wahrgenommen habe - würzig und sehr speziell! Da ich dieses Pulver als Detoxmittel verwenden möchte, hab ich natürlich kein kulinarisches Highlight erwartet; es ist für mich eben "Medizin", und ein bißchen so schmeckt es auch. Ist aber alles in allem erträglich. Über die entgiftende Wirkung kann ich noch nicht viel sagen, da ich es erst seit knapp 2 Wochen einsetze; jedenfalls gab es bisher keine krassen Reaktionen im Sinne z. B. einer Erstverschlimmerung von Symptomen o. ä. Allenfalls fühle ich mich an manchen Tagen vor allem morgens recht schlapp, was möglicherweise ein Hinweis auf eine stärkere Konzentration von (gelösten) Toxinen im meinem Körper sein könnte. Mal sehen, wie es damit weitergeht .......

This product has exceeded expectations, I had watched a Babilon Kay video two years ago and wanted to recreate her Sea Kelp hair mask, the kelp powder I bought was much grittier than hers and the recipe didn’t work. Fast forward two years and I’ve been taking kelp supplements which hade really kept my nails and hair strong but I wanted to apply it topically so off I went to trawl Amazon for a suitable powder. This one popped out because it was described as a fine powder. Delivered today and just mixed up a batch with hot water and it is a dream to work with, the resulting paste is smooth and applied easily to hair/skin. I’d give this 10/10 if I could. Side note: some reviews have mentioned the scent is overpowering but I didn’t find it to be, it smells like the sea but I suppose that’s not to everyone’s taste 🤷🏾‍♀️🌊🌱✨

Real kelp with real benefits. Thank you Amazon.
