I give my dog (who has cancer) a product called blue green alge from Klammath Lake. It's a pill & I was wondering if that was the same thing you're talking about. My vet says that its a wonderful product & the guy at the health food store says it's a good antioxidant. Are you talkig about the seeweed stuff you get at the HFS like Komubu (sp?). Thanks for some more info Meryl

Yup. You can use it as a kind of garnish or condiment if you want.

Can we get dependant on this? It sounds like a laxative..
"...The alginates in kelp are complex polysaccarides that have a soothing and cleansing effect on the digestive tract and may prevent the absorption of toxic metals... Kelp alginates are hydrasorbent laxatives, compounds that swell to 20 times their original volume by absorbing water which is much greater than other types of bulk forming laxatives such as psyllium and bran. Kelp alginates are effective in treating habitual constipation and gastric bloating because they sell in intestinal juices rather than water or gastric juices..."

Seaweeds and algaes can have a laxative effect. I tend to crave/eat kelp, dulse and other seaweeds when I'm low in iron. It's added to alot of foods as a thickening agent/emulsifier or flavour enhancer. I have to be cautious when consuming sushi, for example.
I generally buy it at either a Health food store or my local Asian market. It's also available in seafood markets.
