Edible seaweeds contain the unique ability to absorb concentrated iodine from the ocean, making them ideal additions to your diet. Seaweeds also have a healthy amount of tyrosine in them. The amino acid tyrosine is widely used with iodine for the two hormones that regulate the working of the thyroid gland.
