STILL WATERS Everyday Thyro-defense

Fucus vesiculosus
Known by the common name bladder wrack or bladderwrack, Fucus vesiculosus is a seaweed found on the coasts of the North Sea, the western Baltic Sea and the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. It also known by the common names black tang, rockweed, bladder fucus, sea oak, black tany, cut weed, dyers fucus, red fucus and rock wrack.

It contains mucilage, algin, mannitol, beta-carotene, zeaxanthin, bromine, potassium, volatile oils, iodine and other minerals. It was actually the original source of iodine, discovered in 1811.

Fucus vesiculosus has been used for centuries to combat

• -Iodine deficiency
• -Oobesity
• -Joint pain
• -Aging skin,
• -Digestive issues
• -Urinary tract infection
• -Thyroid dysfunction- including hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, and goiter development

Iodine in seaweeds contributes to:

• the normal growth of children
• normal cognitive function
• normal energy-yielding metabolism
• normal functioning of the nervous system
• the maintenance of normal skin
• the normal production of thyroid hormones and normal thyroid function.

Iodine also has the added benefit of being sourced from seaweed that naturally contains all of the other minerals and micronutrients needed for its proper transport and metabolism (including selenium, tyrosine, zinc, copper, vitamins A, B2, B3, B6 and C).

As most iodine is from dairy and meat, this is ideal for vegan, vegetarian, allergy and intolerance diets.
