Background and Use
Seaweed has been used medicinally in China for over 5000 years. Bladderwrack was used in the 18th century as a major dietary source of iodine, prior to the iodization of salt. Iodine is required by the body for normal thyroid function. Bladderwrack was also used traditionally as a nutritive tonic as it is rich in trace minerals.
Precautions
Bladderwrack supplements are not recommended for individuals diagnosed with hyperthyroidism. Do not use if pregnant or nursing. Keep out of reach of children. Discontinue if unusual symptoms occur. Do not exceed recommended dose unless under the guidance of a health care professional. Not recommended for long-term use without periodic breaks.
Allergens
A small percentage of people are sensitive to iodine and could develop a painful and enlarged thyroid gland if they consume iodine rich substances such as kelp for longer than one month.
