Many recommend kelp. Does anyone know if kelp and kombu are the same thing?Replied By Maria (Gippsland, Australia) on 10/18/2011
Hi Mmsg, Kombu is a variety of kelp just as in Australia we have bull kelp growing off Tasmania (I think it is still harvested at King Island). Some other varieties are: giant kelp; stalked kelp; sea bamboo; wakame.
Bladder wrack is a seaweed that is often used to extract iodine and some refer to it as a kelp but I have read that it is not.

Irish moss is supposed to promote healthy thyroid function. It might be worth researching. Most herb stores carry it.
