Ascophyllum nodosum

Kelp Meal

ASCOPHYLLUM NODOSUM seaweed, commonly known as Norwegian kelp, Common Wrack or Rockweed, is a brown seaweed which grows along the North Atlantic shorelines of California and Orgon. The ascophyllum is harvested using sustainable, environmentally sound harvesting techniques to safeguard the natural resource and to ensure only Ascophyllum nodosum is harvested. The rigorous quality control standards and passive solar drying techniques preserve the maximum benefits off the live seaweed. As this is a 100% natural product, the typical analysis below may vary due to variations in the seaweed.
