Pregnancy guidance
CautionRaw kelp should be consumed with caution and in strict moderation during pregnancy. Kelp concentrates extraordinarily high levels of iodine, which can cross the placenta and disrupt fetal thyroid function if eaten in excess. NHS specifically recommends avoiding kelp supplements and limiting brown seaweeds during pregnancy to prevent iodine toxicity and heavy metal exposure. If eating kelp, restrict intake to tiny culinary garnishes or choose lower-iodine sea greens like nori.
