What is Bladderwrack?
Bladderwrack (formal name Fucus Vesiculosis) is a brown seaweed which is a good source of iodine (the mineral needed for proper thyroid function) and of various L-fucose compounds.

Ingesting brown seaweeds as food, or by consuming the L-fucose compounds or the seaweed itself in supplemental form may be beneficial for some individuals.

Bladderwrack has been recognized as an herbal remedy and a culinary element in various cultures for centuries. In fact, bladderwrack is a recognized source of iodine, which can support thyroid health, and is also an important part of a nutritional diet.
