Three Icelandic ingredients from the sea, hand-harvested along Iceland's shores

Irish moss (Chondrus crispus) and knotted wrack (Ascophyllum nodosum). The ingredients are either hand-harvested or sourced from the Icelandic marine environment, which is among the cleanest in the world.

Irish moss (Chondrus crispus) Irish moss, known in Icelandic as *Fjörugrös*, grows along the southern and southwestern shores of Iceland. Irish moss has been used for human consumption for centuries, with various products derived from it. It contains a wealth of nutrients, including protein, vitamins A and B1, iodine, and minerals such as potassium, magnesium, iron, and phosphorus.

The sea moss we use is hand-harvested along Iceland's shores, unlike the majority of seaweed on the market today. Data shows that about 97% of the world's seaweed comes from cultivation, much of which is located in Southeast Asia. Consequently, a large portion of "hand-harvested" seaweed is not actually hand-harvested. *Chondrus crispus* can also be cultivated, but this has largely proven to be unprofitable, so almost all *Chondrus crispus* on the market is hand-harvested from the wild.

Knotted wrack (Ascophyllum nodosum) Knotted wrack is a brown alga that grows in the intertidal zones along Iceland's shores and is among the natural ingredients with the highest iodine content. Knotted wrack is one of the oldest and best-known utility plants in the North Atlantic and has been used for centuries for both human consumption and animal feed.

Iodine contributes to:

• normal thyroid function and the normal production of thyroid hormones
• normal cognitive function
• normal energy-yielding metabolism
• normal functioning of the nervous system
• the maintenance of normal skin
• normal growth of children

Calcium is needed for the maintenance of normal bones and teeth. Calcium also contributes to:

• normal muscle function
• normal neurotransmission
• normal blood clotting
• normal energy-yielding metabolism
• normal function of digestive enzymes
• the process of cell division and specialization

Content: 90 capsules Allergens: The ingredients are sourced from the sea and may contain traces of fish, crustaceans, and mollusks.

Three Icelandic marine ingredients, hand-harvested from the shores of Iceland

Irish moss (Chondrus crispus), knotted wrack (Ascophyllum nodosum), and the calcareous alga Lithotamnion. Three Icelandic algae combined in one capsule. The ingredients are either hand-harvested or sourced from the Icelandic marine environment, which is among the cleanest in the world.

Irish moss (Chondrus crispus) Irish moss, which is known in English as Irish moss, grows along the shores of southern and southwestern Iceland. Irish moss has been used for human consumption for centuries, with various products derived from it. It contains a wealth of nutrients, including protein, vitamins A and B1, iodine, and minerals such as potassium, magnesium, iron, and phosphorus.

The sea moss we use is hand-harvested from Icelandic shores, unlike the majority of seaweed on the market today. Data shows that about 97% of the world's marine vegetation is farmed, with many such operations located in Southeast Asia. Therefore, a large portion of "hand-harvested" seaweed is not actually hand-harvested. Chondrus crispus can also be farmed, but this has largely proven unprofitable, and thus almost all Chondrus crispus on the market is hand-harvested in the wild.

Knotted wrack (Ascophyllum nodosum) Knotted wrack is a brown alga that grows on the shores of Iceland and is among the natural ingredients with the highest iodine content. Knotted wrack is one of the oldest and best-known cultivated plants in the North Atlantic and has been used for centuries for both human consumption and animal feed.

Calcareous alga (Lithotamnion) This calcareous alga is a red alga that grows on the ocean floor around Iceland and contains natural calcium along with a number of minerals in organic form. Lithotamnion is unique in that the calcium is bound within the natural algal structure, unlike traditional calcium sources such as calcium carbonate derived from rock.

Each daily dose (2 capsules) contains 150 µg of iodine (100% of the reference intake) and 135 mg of calcium.

Iodine contributes to:

• normal thyroid function and the normal production of thyroid hormones
• normal cognitive function
• normal energy-yielding metabolism
• normal functioning of the nervous system
• the maintenance of normal skin
• normal growth of children

Calcium is necessary for the maintenance of normal bones and teeth. Calcium also contributes to:

• normal muscle function
• normal neurotransmission
• normal blood clotting
• normal energy-yielding metabolism
• normal function of digestive enzymes
• the process of cell division and specialisation

Contents: 180 capsules Allergens: The ingredients are sourced from the sea and may contain traces of fish, crustaceans, and molluscs.

Three substances the thyroid needs. The iodine comes from knotted wrack that grows off the coast of Iceland.

The thyroid regulates metabolic rate, energy, temperature, and weight—and it needs three raw materials to produce its hormones: iodine to build them, selenium to activate them, and zinc to sense them. Klóþang puts all three into one capsule, with iodine from Icelandic knotted wrack (Ascophyllum nodosum) instead of solely synthetic iodine.

What is in the capsule?

• Icelandic knotted wrack – 414 mg, total iodine 381 mcg: Hand-harvested in Iceland. Knotted wrack is one of the most iodine-rich plants in the world and contains trace elements that pure potassium iodide does not.
• Zinc (bisglycinate) – 12 mg: 120% of the reference value. For the immune system, skin, hair, and thyroid sensitivity—in the form that is best absorbed.
• Selenium (selenium-enriched yeast) – 100 mcg: Organic selenium from yeast, not sodium selenite. Selenium is necessary to convert T4 into the active T3 hormone.

For whom?

Those who experience fatigue, coldness, and a slow metabolism. Those who eat little fish and dairy products—the primary sources of iodine for Icelanders. People who want Icelandic raw materials in their supplements.

How do you use it?

One capsule daily with food. The thyroid works slowly; give it 6–8 weeks.

Packaging: 90 capsules • 90-day supply • 1 capsule per day
Content per capsule: Icelandic knotted wrack 414 mg, zinc bisglycinate 40 mg, selenium-enriched yeast 46 mg, potassium iodide. Vegetable cellulose capsule. No additives.

Eight B vitamins in full doses and magnesium in a form the body absorbs.

B vitamins are the workhorses of the body's energy metabolism — they convert the food you eat into energy you can use. They are not stored in the body and must therefore be replenished daily. B-Super provides all eight in two capsules, with 131 mg of magnesium bisglycinate to complete the task.

What is in the daily dose (2 capsules)?

• Magnesium (bisglycinate) – 131 mg: Bisglycinate is magnesium bound to the amino acid glycine. It is gentle on the digestive system and does not cause the laxative effects that cheaper forms of magnesium do.
• B1 thiamine – 3.6 mg · B2 riboflavin – 3.4 mg · B3 niacin – 35 mg · B5 pantothenic acid – 12.5 mg: The energy vitamins. Work together to release energy from carbohydrates, fats, and protein.
• B6 pyridoxine – 3.6 mg · B9 folic acid – 1,071 mcg · B12 cobalamin – 5.6 mcg: The trio for the nervous system, blood formation, and homocysteine balance.
• B7 biotin – 50 mcg: For hair, skin, and nails.

For whom?

For those who are tired for no reason, work long days, drink coffee to get through the afternoon, or eat a monotonous diet. Vegetarians and vegans need B12 from outside sources — this is the simplest way.

How do you use it?

Two capsules with breakfast. B vitamins are water-soluble and best taken with food, not on an empty stomach. A difference in energy is usually felt within two weeks.

Packaging: 60 capsules • 30-day supply • 2 capsules per day
Contents per capsule: Magnesium bisglycinate 465 mg, B-complex blend 30 mg, biotin. Vegetable cellulose capsule. No fillers.

950 mg of Vitamin C per day. With Vitamin E so it lasts longer in the body.

Vitamin C is the antioxidant everyone knows — and most people take too little of. Two capsules deliver 950 mg, twelve times the reference requirement, along with 24 mg of Vitamin E. The reason for the pairing: Vitamin C regenerates Vitamin E after it has neutralized free radicals, and Vitamin E protects Vitamin C in return. Two antioxidants that keep each other going.

What is in the daily dose (2 capsules)?

• Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) – 950 mg: For the immune system, collagen formation in skin, joints and blood vessels, and iron absorption from food. Water-soluble — the body does not store it, which is why it is needed daily.
• Vitamin E (d-alpha-tocopherol) – 24 mg α-TE: The natural form, not synthetic dl-alpha. A fat-soluble antioxidant that protects cell membranes.

For whom?

The winter months. Periods of high stress. Those who train a lot — intense exercise increases oxidative stress and the need for Vitamin C. Smokers need at least 35 mg more per day than others.

How do you use it?

Two capsules a day with food — one in the morning and one in the afternoon results in more consistent blood levels than both at once. Pairs well with Iron FeBC if you take iron: Vitamin C multiplies the absorption.

Packaging: 90 capsules • 45-day supply • 2 capsules per day
Content per capsule: Ascorbic acid 475 mg, d-alpha-tocopheryl acetate 25 mg. Capsule made from plant cellulose. No additives.
