From the age of 25, collagen production decreases by approximately 1% per year — gradually leading to drier and looser skin. Beauty supplements provide building blocks and cofactors from which the body can build these structures.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe scientific basis for \"drinking collagen to get beautiful skin\" is nuanced. The body breaks down collagen peptides into amino acids — which can be used anywhere, not specifically for the skin. Nevertheless, clinical studies (especially with 5-10 g\/day collagen peptides for 8-12 weeks) consistently show improvements in skin hydration, elasticity, and wrinkle depth. The effect seems to work by stimulating the body's own collagen production through the amino acids glycine and proline.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVitamin C is the only EFSA-recognized component for collagen formation for the skin. It is an indispensable cofactor in the hydroxylation of proline and lysine — without sufficient vitamin C, the body cannot make functional collagen.

The cause can be iron deficiency, B12 deficiency, thyroid issues, sleep deprivation, vitamin D deficiency, or chronic stress. Before you start stacking supplements: have ferritin, B12, vitamin D, and TSH measured. Only then can you apply targeted supplementation.

In 1942 werd gejodeerd zout in bakkerijbrood verplicht — sindsdien is jodium-tekort dramatisch gedaald. Maar deze bescherming hangt aan één bron: bakkerijbrood. Voor wie geen bakkerijbrood eet (paleo, keto, glutenvrij, thuisbakkers met ongejodeerd zout) is de jodium-bescherming verdwenen.

Plantaardige voeding levert weinig jodium (uitzondering: zeewier — maar dat eet niet iedereen). Zeevis en zuivel zijn de belangrijkste niet-bakkerij-bronnen. Voor wie volledig plantaardig eet zonder zeewier is gerichte jodium-suppletie eigenlijk onmisbaar — vooral tijdens zwangerschap waar de behoefte stijgt naar 200 µg\/dag.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn supplementen zijn de gangbare vormen kalium-jodide (KI, exacte dosering), kelp\/zeewier-extract (natuurlijke route, variabele dosering — daarom standaardisatie belangrijk) en Lugol-oplossing (vloeibaar, klassieke aanvulling). Bij keuze: multimineralen leveren typisch 75-150 µg jodium, terwijl losse jodium-supplementen 150-225 µg per portie bieden.

FAQs
How much iodine is in one capsule?
One capsule contains 432 µg of iodine from kelp — 288% of the daily reference intake for an adult.
How long does one jar last?
Three months at 1 capsule per day. The jar contains 90 capsules and is intended for daily use.
From what age can I take these capsules?
Adults and children from 11 years old. This product is not suitable for children under 11 due to the high iodine dose per capsule.
Can I use these capsules if I have a thyroid condition?
Consult a doctor first if you have a thyroid condition before using this product. This supplement contains 288% of the daily reference intake of iodine, and in case of thyroid problems, personal advice is necessary.
Why kelp iodine instead of synthetic iodine?
Iodine in supplements is usually obtained from synthetic sources, such as potassium iodide. These capsules contain only iodine that the kelp itself has absorbed from the seawater — it is already in the natural plant matrix.
What is in the capsule shell?
The capsule shell is made of hypromellose, a plant-based alternative to gelatin. Therefore, the capsules are suitable for vegetarians and vegans.
Does this product contain allergens?
No, the product is naturally free of gluten and wheat. Due to the natural origin of seaweed, traces of mollusks, crustaceans, and fish may be present.
Can I combine these capsules with other supplements?
Yes, kelp can be combined well with other supplements. However, pay attention to the total iodine intake if you also use a multivitamin or another seaweed product — it can quickly add up.
