Our bladderwrack powder is ground from organic Fucus vesiculosus, a type of brown seaweed picked along the cool Atlantic shore seas. Bladderwrack got its name from its thalli, or “bladders”, that fill with air in order to keep the seaweed afloat. This particular seaweed powder has a high iodine level and can be added into cooking recipes and spice mixes. Bladderwrack powder can even be used in body care recipes.
Bladderwrack is also called dyer’s focus, red focus, and rockwrack. It is a part of the Fucaceae family.
It has been used in traditional medicine for hundreds of years to treat a wide range of problems, such as a lack of iodine, fat, joint pain, aging skin, stomach problems, urinary tract infections, and thyroid problems like hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, and the growth of a goiter.
◉ Relieves constipation and diarrhea:- Alginic acid is a type of food fiber that helps control bowel movements and relieves constipation. It is found in ladderwrack.
Fiber from food or herbs is often good for constipation, but it may also help with diarrhea.
◉ May help with stomach problems:- Calcium alginate, which is found in bladderwrack, may help wounds heal faster than other ways, according to early studies. One early study showed that major cuts could heal with the help of a certain type of alginate in as little as 10 days. But more study is needed to figure out the best way to use bladderwrack to treat wounds and how much to use.
◉ Helps treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD):- When combined with magnesium carbonate, the alginic acid in bladderwrack helps heartburn and gastric reflux disease (GERD) by putting a shield between the sensitive walls of the stomach and toxins like stomach acids and reducing inflammation.
◉ Promotes weight loss:- Because of how it reacts with the hormone that stimulates the thyroid, the iodine in bladderwrack is very easy for the body to use. Iodine is known to speed up the body's metabolism, which can help people lose weight.
Also, bladderwrack has a lot of fucoxanthin, a pigment that is being researched to see if it can help burn fat.
