Are you struggling to lose weight despite dieting? You might be suffering from a deficiency that originates in the ocean. Bladderwrack, a type of brown algae, has been used for generations to support the thyroid gland. In this guide, we dive deep into the benefits of Fucus vesiculosus.
The Weight Loss Benefits
Can a sea plant really help you lose weight? By providing iodine, Bladderwrack stimulates the thyroid to burn more calories as heat. This carotenoid found in brown algae has been shown to reduce fat accumulation in animal studies. It suppresses appetite naturally, making caloric bladderwrack deficits easier to maintain.
The Iodine Factor
You cannot talk about metabolism without talking about the thyroid. Bladderwrack acts as a natural "multivitamin" for your thyroid gland. This restores energy levels and mental clarity in those with sub-clinical hypothyroidism.
A Note on Purity and Heavy Metals
Quality matters more with seaweed than almost any other supplement. Bladderwrack absorbs minerals from the water, but it can also absorb heavy metals like arsenic if harvested from polluted waters. Remedy's Nutrition® ensures that our Bladderwrack is harvested from clean, tested waters.
Who should be careful? People with Hyperthyroidism (Graves' Disease) should avoid Bladderwrack as extra iodine can worsen the condition. Pregnant women should also be cautious.
