Great so far! No taste and or smell. Good value for the cost

Good product with nice price.

I just ordered my second bag of this stuff. It tastes just terrible but more about that later. First, why do I put myself through the torture of ingesting it?I have been looking for something that will help maintain the health of my hair and skin, as I believe they are important indicators of overall health. There are quite a few posts that talk about dogs being healthier, their coats gleaming and their teeth shining, after having kelp powder added to their food, so I figured it was worth a try. Also, if you have been looking at kelp supplements you know that the cost for capsules is incredible, whereas one bag of this powder will last three to four months. And I am noticing that my hair shedding seems less and my skin is improving as well.Now the hard part - how does one get this stuff down? I kid you not; it tastes like pond scum, so this is what I do. Every morning I put about a teaspoon in a jar, add a half cup of cold water, put on a tight lid and shake it like crazy. Stirring alone will not work. Even with shaking for a minute there will be small clumps. The next part is important: take several deep breaths and then, while holding your nose, drink the liquid. Do not let go of your nose. Stop drinking to take breaths if necessary but continue breathing through your mouth. It is important not to breathe through your nose even after you have drank all the liquid. Have a glass of plain water handy and, still holding your nose, swish out your mouth and swallow the liquid. Then drink some juice or eat something, and at that point you can let go of your nose. This whole process takes a few minutes but it is the only way I can get it down. I do this every morning while my husband laughs, but he says my hair looks prettier. As I said my hair and skin seem to be improving and I have more energy so I ordered another bag. Not easy to take but very economical and seems to be helping.

I use it to add trace minerals to my dogs' meals. They love it.

Great supplement, the nutrients in this is amazing and most def for the cost of it.

I bought this product after researching the best dental products for my three year old Chihuahua-Schnauzer mix who was having a case of plaque buildup, teeth staining, and bad breath.In the US, the dental treats that seem to do not much at all are an option, and then there is regular toothbrushing and finally a full dental deep cleaning. Regular toothbrushing is something my dog seems to dislike but I still force it on him every few days. I researched further and found that abroad, especially in Europe, Proden PlaqueOff is also regularly recommended by vets -- and it's nothing more than kelp powder.I researched the particular type of kelp used in PlaqueOff and found this Starwest product is the very same, for a price that's much easier on the wallet and also readily available (PlaqueOff was sold out on Amazon). I bought it and have been sprinkling a very tiny amount on his dry kibble in the morning daily and he ingests all of it without too much of a fuss.In just two weeks, his bad breath almost completely cleared up and his plaque buildup seems to be lessened. And all of this without any brushing or any other "dog breath" dental treat over the two weeks. Just kibble with this sprinkled on it. Impressive to say the least.The results are more than just anecdotal. Based on what I read, there have been several scientific studies conducted on the long-term results of this particular kelp (in the form of PlaqueOff) versus control on dog dental health, and all have seen positive results due to the kelp's antibacterial properties breaking down the bacteria harbored in the dog's mouth.Watch how much you administer -- it's 1/8 teaspoon for humans according to the Starwest label, and dogs should be given a tiny sprinkle. Too much can lead to thyroid problems. I'm also watching for any other adverse reactions.Give it a try. Your dog's dental health may thank you (and so will your wallet). Overall, highly recommend.

Feed this to my horses & is also for human consumption. No odor. Great oacjaging

A pinch goes a long way, you don’t need a lot 1/8 of a tablespoon is what is recommended, but consult with your doctor before taking anything that is herbal. I like this product
