ABOUT SEAWEED FOR HUMAN HEALTH

Seaweed is one of the most mineral rich foods that exist. The mineral content in seaweed ranges from 20%-40% where as vegetables have a 5%-10% mineral content. Brown seaweed is rich in fuciodians which are praised for being antitumor, antioxidant, anticoagulant, antithrombotic, immunoregulatory, antiviral and anti-inflammatory. Brown seaweeds contain the most iodine. Alginates are present as well which exhibit antibacterial, antioxidant, antidiabetics, antiobesity, and immunomodulatory properties.

SEAWEEDS ABSORPTION

Seaweeds absorption in the human body naturally excretes the amount of minerals it doesn’t need. When consumed, seaweeds are easily digestible and their nutrients are readily absorbed. This allows for efficient absorption of essential vitamins, minerals, and other bioactive compounds present in seaweeds. Overall, the bioavailability of nutrients from seaweeds makes them a valuable addition to a balanced diet. Seaweeds absorption in the human body naturally excretes excess amounts of minerals that your body doesn’t need.

IODINE DEFIENCY

Ninety-six percent of all people in the US are deficient in Iodine. This is especially true for women. Iodine deficiency can cause goiters, cancer, eye floaters, ovarian cysts, breast cysts, thyroid issues, dry skin, thinning hair, cognitive decline, weight gain, fatigue, and more. Pregnant women especially need iodine for nursing and producing babies. The iodine is important in early brain development in babies and children. Calcium, found abundantly in seaweed, is crucial for strong bones and teeth.

HOW DO YOU TEST IODINE DEFICIENCY?

Start with a 2% iodine tincture and make a 2 inch square on your forearm. Wait 24 hours and see if it dissolves into your skin. If the patch is still visible then you don’t need more iodine but if your skin soaks it up within a few hours then you could use more.
