BB Score Breakdown

Criteria	Weight	Score (Out of 100)	Notes

Ingredient Quality	15%	30	Risk of heavy metal contamination and lack of regulation in harvesting.
Efficacy	25%	30	Benefits for skin and health are speculative; little evidence supports its anti-aging claims.
Safety	15%	50	Excess iodine can disrupt thyroid function; contamination risks are high.
Ease of Use	10%	80	Simple capsule form, easy to incorporate into daily routines.
Value for Money	15%	40	Often overpriced for a product with weak evidence for its claims.
Brand Reputation	10%	50	Some reputable brands sell sea kelp, but lack of regulation is a concern.
