Bladderwrack Powder Capsules natural source of iodine, proper functioning of the thyroid gland

Bladder-wrack (Fucus Vesiculosus, fucus) is used primarily because it is a high source of iodine. Bladder-wrack has been used traditionally to treat an under active and oversize thyroid and to treat iodine deficiency. Bladder-wrack is also rich in calcium, magnesium, and potassium, and it contains other trace minerals.

Bladder-wrack contains numerous phytonutrients, which are credited with its many health benefits:

• Bladder-wrack has antiestrogenic effects and has been known to lower the risk of estrogen-dependent diseases 
• bladder-wrack lowers lipid and cholesterol levels and support weight loss.

• bladder-wrack is used as a natural iodine supplement.

Bladderwrack is a form of kelp that has been used medicinally for centuries. The main use of the herb has been for the stimulation of the thyroid gland as a treatment for obesity and cellulite.
