Bladderwrack is a brown seaweed that grows in the Baltic, Atlantic and North Pacific seas. It contains various amounts of iodine which may help prevent certain thyroid disorders. Bladderwrack may also have anti-diabetic effects and affect hormone levels. Bladderwrack is different from alginate, comfrey, blue-green algae, kelp or kelp. Don’t confuse them.

Bladderwrack Extract has the following effects:

1. Thyroid Benefits

Bladderwrack Extract is rich in iodine, a mineral needed to produce thyroid hormones. Iodine deficiency can lead to hypothyroidism and goiter, which can lead to symptoms such as fatigue, weight gain, hair loss, impaired metabolism and the body’s immune system.

2. Skin Benefits

Rich in antioxidants, Bladderwrack Extract can be used to protect the skin from oxidative damage from the sun and the environment. Additionally, the alginate in Bladderwrack Extract also helps in the healing of injured skin, so it can be used to soothe itchy, irritated skin.

3. Digestive Benefits

The fiber content of Bladderwrack Extract is between 4-59%, so it is very good for digestion. Serving as a meal or as a snack, Bladderwrack Extract can help reach the mineral and fiber goals.
