About the Product
Bladderwrack is a type of brown algae (seaweed) that grows on the northern Atlantic and Pacific coasts of the United States and on the northern Atlantic coast and Baltic coast of Europe. The main stem of bladderwrack, the thallus, is used medicinally. The thallus has tough, air-filled pods or bladders to help the algae float—thus the name bladderwrack.
Historically, people living near oceans have a low rate of hypothyroidism, due, in part, to ingestion of iodine-rich food, such as seafood and seaweeds like bladderwrack
Bladderwrack has a reputation for stimulating the thyroid gland and is hence used to counter obesity. Bladderwrack has long been used to soothe irritated and inflamed tissues in the body and as a bulk-forming laxative.
Bladderwrack has traditionally been used for :Constipation, Diarrhoea, Gastritis, Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD), Heartburn, Hypothyroidism, Indigestion and Iodine deficiency.
