A study from Japan's Otsuma Women's University found that consuming kelp powder can significantly reduce body fat and blood pressure, particularly in obese men. The study involved 44 participants aged 20-65 over a 12-week period, showing that those who consumed kelp powder experienced improved metabolic health indicators. While both men and women saw a decrease in blood pressure, women did not experience the same reduction in body fat. Additionally, kelp powder improved beneficial gut bacteria in everyone. However, excessive consumption may lead to bloating due to seaweed's nutrient composition like sodium alginate, which can also cause adverse health effects if taken too much.
