Solaray Bladderwrack

Bladderwrack, a brown seaweed, is traditionally used for various health benefits, including potential support for thyroid function, vision, skin health, and weight management. It's also known for its antioxidant properties and potential anti-inflammatory effects. Bladderwrack is rich in iodine, which is essential for thyroid hormone production. Some believe that its iodine content may help prevent hypothyroidism or support thyroid function. Bladderwrack contains fucoxanthin and fucoidan, compounds that may help protect vision, especially from damage caused by blue light from screens.  Bladderwrack's antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties can help soothe skin irritations, minimize signs of aging, and improve skin texture and elasticity. It's also used in skincare products for its nourishing and hydrating effects. Bladderwrack contains fiber, including alginate, which can help promote feelings of fullness and potentially support weight loss efforts. It may also contain compounds with anti-obesity effects. Bladderwrack has been used as a bulk-forming laxative and to soothe irritated tissues. It has also been used in body wraps to support weight loss and topically for skin conditions.
