Laminaria Extract Review

Laminaria extract is a natural supplement whose marketers claim you can lose 28 pounds in one month - we are talking a pound a day here - without having to diet and/or exercise. And how is this possible? Laminaria is said to be derived from a marine plant - like seaweed or kelp - and contains a significant amount of iodine. Iodine is a substance which has been proven to play a role in thyroid function, and, of course, thyroid function is known to play a role in weight gain. The marketers of laminaria allege that their product works to stimulate the thyroid gland - which will accelerate fat burning in the body. It's also alleged that laminaria use will reduce the appearance of cellulite on the body.

As with so many of these natural dietary supplements, there's actually very little information available about what it is, how it works, its side effects - beyond the flashy claims for big weight loss. And why is that? Because there's nothing there. There is no science - no reason - to prove out the claims and effectiveness of this product. Furthermore - the body's thyroid function is a serious business, and should only be managed by a doctor. Even if laminaria really does have some impact on your thyroid, is that something you want to mess with on your own, with an FDA unregulated product from the internet? Spend your 30 bucks on something else.
