Hyperthyroidism has been associated with the excessive ingestion of kelp and is attributable to the iodine content in the plant.

As such, kelp used as a food and/or for a medicinal product should not exceed arsenic levels above 3.0 ppm and lead levels above 10.0 ppm based on the internationally recognized Food Chemicals Codex.
