Since Kelp: contains significant levels of IODINE it may have had an effect on your THYROID hormone production...that effect can last for a while and i would consult your PCP (POrimary Care Provider) and perhaps have some thyroid function tests to see if thats what is effecting your energy levels! Just a thought..hope it helps! Dr Z
