I've always been fascinated by the ocean and its inhabitants. When I was a kid, I would spend hours exploring the tide pools and learning about the different creatures that lived there. One of my favorite creatures was the seaweed. I loved the way it moved with the waves and the way it looked so delicate and beautiful. As I got older, I learned more about the health benefits of seaweed and kelp, and I started to incorporate them into my diet. This tonic is one of my favorite ways to get my daily dose of iodine, and I love the way it makes me feel. I always feel more energized and focused after drinking it, and I know that it's doing good things for my thyroid health.
