Bladderwrack
Bladderwrack is a type of brown algae that is rich in iodine. Due to its
iodine content, bladderwrack has long been used in the treatment of
hypothyroidism and other thyroid-related conditions, although it seems
that high profile human trials have yet to confirm this. While iodine's
influence on the thyroid is a certainty, the varying iodine content of
bladderwrack means standardization and carefully controlled trials are
necessary. What has been confirmed has been within the context of test
tube and animal studies and the results are extremely promising. In
addition to iodine, powerful components within bladderwrack have shown
exciting results that include anti-viral properties. The prominent Dr.
Andrew Weil reported recently that scientists at the National Cancer
Institute are now investigating the anti-cancer properties of seaweeds.
