> I always wondered if that was a lot of hype or if seaweed is really that good for you. where would you buy seaweed besides the capsule stuff at GNC? Are you sure there was seaweed in the dish--or could it have been another vegetable that looked like seaweed? Do you live by the coast maybe?
It was definitely green seaweed. They often serve it deep-fried, "crispy" style, as a starter or side dish at Chinese restaurants over here.
I've read that seaweed contains nutrients absent from land-based plants, so maybe there was some truth in the claims for seaweed supplements.
Could it be Omega 3 or 6 gave the 5-HTP a boost? If so I'm buying some supplements!
