What is Bladderwrack?
Bladderwrack (Fucus vesiculosuswrack) is a seaweed that is found on the coasts of most Oceans. It’s most recognizable by its deep green and brown stems that attach to rocks and its “sacs'' that keep it floating above and within the water. Just imagine it underwater - sacs waving in the tide back and forth. Almost like it's dancing or just celebrating just being alive - it's truly epic y’all!
It's is coated with special types of beta carotene and chlorophyll that work together to help protect the plant from the sun’s rays while simultaneously allowing it to collect a wider range of the light spectrum. The results are that it has has a superior ability to harness energy from the sun and absorb the maximum amount of nutrients. This is what makes it so powerful when it comes to helping us with our health and healing.
It’s like a supercharged solar panel made by earth! This herb can even GLOW IN THE DARK under water in certain light spectrum frequencies because of its properties. Isn’t nature always amazing?

Can Bladderwrack Help With Weight Loss?
Probably the most common known benefit and the reason so many people LOVE this herb is because it helps them with their weight. Weight is one of humanity's toughest challenges as it seems everyone is always looking for a way to either gain or lose weight. The reason that this herb is so beneficial for weight management is because it has one of the highest sources of iodine on the PLANET and so it’s a great choice for natural weight management.
So - how does this work? Let’s start by talking about the thyroid. Your thyroid is an endocrine gland located at the front of your neck, whose main job is to control and manage your metabolism by making and releasing certain hormones. When your metabolism and hormones are not functioning optimally, this drastically impacts how your body uses energy and so impacts your weight.
What Are Some Precautions?
The beauty of this herb is that a LITTLE can go a LONG way so it’s important to be cautious of the quantities you are consuming. This is due to the high levels of iodine and the massive impacts it can have on the body. Bladderwrack is best absorbed in smaller amounts and taken along side other healing herbs like Seamoss.
For example if you are taking seamoss every day (and you can and should be taking seamoss everyday), maybe only take Bladderwrack 2-3 times a week alongside your seamoss. Read on to see some ways that you can combine Seamoss and Bladderwrack. Be mindful of its power y’all and believe us when we say that a little bit of Bladderwrack goes a long way.
