Why take seaweed powder?
Seaweeds have been eaten for centuries in coastal communities around the world, from Ireland and Scotland to Japan. They take up minerals directly from seawater, which is why they are such a concentrated natural source of iodine, magnesium, calcium, potassium and trace minerals. A seaweed powder is an easy way to add these sea vegetables to your diet without having to soak or cook whole dried seaweed.
Iodine contributes to normal thyroid function, normal energy-yielding metabolism, normal cognitive function and the maintenance of normal skin. Because the UK diet can be low in iodine, particularly for people who eat little dairy or fish, many plant-based eaters look for a natural iodine source such as seaweed.
Irish moss
Irish moss, also known as sea moss, is loaded with nutrients, vitamins and other minerals including potassium, manganese, phosphorus, bromine, calcium, zinc, beta-carotene, sulphur, protein and B vitamins and vitamin C. In fact, Irish moss is so nutrient dense it contains 92 of the 102 minerals found in the human body, contributing to its fantastic immune system boosting benefits. Learn more in our guide to why people use Irish sea moss to supplement their diet.
Bladderwrack
Bladderwrack is known to have one of the highest levels of iodine amongst all seaweed varieties. Bladderwrack can provide up to 30 times the standard daily intake of iodine. It is known for its thyroid support. Bladderwrack is also commonly used in skincare products due to its high levels of vitamin A and E. Bladderwrack has properties which can help soothe skin complaints such as eczema and psoriasis.
Alkalising?
When we say alkalising we don’t mean that the product itself is low PH, but that once consumed it helps to balance the body’s PH. Our bodies typically have a lower PH than what would be ideal, particularly when coffee, meat, dairy and alcohol are consumed. It’s important to try and balance PH simply because your body works best this way. The ideal foods to help balance the body’s PH are raw leafy greens and vegetables, but also seaweed!
We sell a large range of edible seaweeds. If you are looking for a single-seaweed kelp powder, try our Kelp Powder, or for a ready-to-use option, our Sea Moss Gel. Our guide to edible seaweeds explains the differences between each variety.
