Thorvin carefully captures and preserves these nutrients using the most effective drying and storing methods in order to deliver the most consistently effective products derived from these kelps. Thorvin requires superior selection, management, harvesting and processing to meet its standards. **Please DO NOT feed Thorvin Kelp directly to Rabbits. The level of iodine in the kind of kelp Thorvin provides is very high. While for many animals this is a benefit, rabbits are sensitive to iodine.
