These teeny bladders help the plant float and stay closer to sunlight for photosynthesis.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Bladderwrack\u2019s medicinal use dates back for centuries. \u201cThere was actually a large seaweed industry [in North America] where people would collect big wagonfuls of seaweed, and they would use it for a bunch of different purposes,\u201d Roberson says. Indigenous peoples used it for poultices and teas, and by the early 1800s, it gained a reputation as a remedy for goiter\u2014a swelling caused by thyroid issues. By the 1860s, it was promoted as a metabolism booster and treatment for obesity. Today, bladderwrack is available in various forms, from dried and powdered to capsule supplements and teas.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"paywall\">Why Would You Take Bladderwrack?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Bladderwrack supplements make bold claims: weight loss, glowing skin, thyroid support, and more. Some of the most common reasons why people take bladderwrack include:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"paywall\">\n<li><strong>It can help alleviate <a href=\"https:\/\/www.niddk.nih.gov\/health-information\/digestive-diseases\/acid-reflux-ger-gerd-adults\" target=\"_blank\">gastroesophageal reflux disease<\/a> (GERD) symptoms.<\/strong> Bladderwrack contains alginic acid, which, when combined with magnesium carbonate, may relieve symptoms of GERD. This combination forms a barrier that protects the stomach lining from irritants, potentially reducing inflammation and heartburn.<\/li>\n<li><strong>It can relieve constipation and diarrhea.<\/strong> Alginic acid also promotes smoother digestion.<\/li>\n<li><strong>It can help soothe digestive irritation.<\/strong> The mucilage in bladderwrack\u2014a gel-like substance\u2014can benefit individuals with gastritis or indigestion by coating irritated mucous membranes along the digestive tract.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 class=\"paywall\">What Does the Science Say?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"paywall\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nm.org\/doctors\/1801971049\/bethany-marie-doerfler-rd\" target=\"_blank\">Bethany Marie Doerfler<\/a>, a gastrointestinal specialist at Northwestern Medicine, says the touted health benefits are tied to bladderwrack\u2019s antioxidant properties, but there have been very few studies evaluating its efficacy or safety in humans.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Like many seaweeds, bladderwrack is packed with antioxidants, including phenolics, phlorotannins, fucoxanthin, alginic acid, fucoidans, and small amounts of vitamins A and C. Doerfler points to alginic acid\u2014found in over-the-counter products like <a data-offer-url=\"https:\/\/www.nhs.uk\/medicines\/gaviscon\/\" class=\"external-link\" data-event-click=\"{&quot;element&quot;:&quot;ExternalLink&quot;,&quot;outgoingURL&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/www.nhs.uk\/medicines\/gaviscon\/&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nhs.uk\/medicines\/gaviscon\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Gaviscon Advance<\/a>\u2014as a compound with proven effectiveness.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">\u201cThese derivatives are studied and considered safe, unlike bladderwrack supplements, which remain largely unregulated and untested,\u201d Doerfler explains. \u201cPeople often leap from identifying healthy components to assuming health outcomes, but [bladderwrack supplements] aren\u2019t backed by research.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"paywall\">Are Bladderwrack Supplements Safe?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Despite the \u201cnatural\u201d label often attached to these kinds of supplements, <a href=\"https:\/\/journals.plos.org\/plosone\/article?id=10.1371\/journal.pone.0269269\">they come with risks<\/a>. Algae-derived products can accumulate heavy metals like arsenic and mercury from polluted waters, and even low concentrations over time can lead to serious health problems such as nerve damage or kidney dysfunction.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Another concern is the high iodine content in bladderwrack, which can interfere with thyroid function. According to Roberson, in some countries, there are regulations due to high iodine levels, which can affect thyroid health. There are no clear guidelines in the US on how much iodine is safe to consume, and the risks associated with excess iodine remain misunderstood. \u201cWe don\u2019t know thresholds, doses, or potential interactions with other medications due to the absence of research,\u201d Doerfler says.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.tiktok.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you&#8217;re on HealthTok, you may have noticed a buzz around sea moss, sea kelp, or brown seaweed, which has become the latest \u201csuperfood\u201d to capture the attention of wellness enthusiasts.
