Audited Supplier | Description: Plant Bladder wrack is dark olive-brown seaweeds about 100 cm long. It is found growing along dikes, on wooden poles and on mud flats. It can be found attached to rocks and tide pools and on breakwaters and jetties. Bladder wrack is the most dominant seaweed in the brackish Baltic Sea. The perennial frond or thallus is coarse, light yellow or brownish-green in color, erect, and from 2 to 3 feet in height. It attaches itself to the rocks by branched, root like, discoid, woody extremities, developed from the base of the stalk. The frond is almost fan-shaped, narrow and strap-shaped at the base, the rest flat and leaf-like in form, wavy, many times divided into two with erect divisions having a very strong, broad, compressed midrib running to the apex. The margin is entire, the texture tough and leathery, mainly olive brown in color, the younger portion yellower, shining. Air vesicles developed in the substance of the frond, usually in pairs, one on either side of the midrib and often one at the fork of the divisions, broadly oval, or spherical, attaining when fully grown half an inch in diameter, are the characteristics of this species which have suggested both the English and Latin names. Bladder wrack gets its name from the air bladders that typically occur in pairs along its fronds. These air bladders serve to float the frond when it is immersed by the tide, exposing a greater surface area to sunlight for photosynthesis. Bladder wrack is a common food in Japan and is used as an additive and flavoring in a variety of foodstuffs in Europe. It is frequently used in the manufacture of "Kelp" tablets and powders that are sold as nutritional supplements. A good source of iodine, it is frequently used as an herbal remedy for treating thyroid problems. It is also said to be useful for relieving rheumatism and rheumatoid arthritis both taken internally and by topical application to the inflamed area. Health Benefits: 1. Heart Health Bladderwrack is one of the beneficial herbs that help you prevent atherosclerosis and any other cholesterol-related affliction. It also helps lower blood pressure, reduce your risk of strokes and heart attacks, and normally lessen the strain on your cardiovascular system. 2. Vision Health Bladderwrack consists of good amount of beta-carotene which makes it an ideal solution for someone trying to improve their vision. Beta-carotene is an antioxidant that directly neutralized free radicals in the eyes and cornea. Apart from that, bladderwrack can help slow down macular degeneration and prevent the development of cataracts. 3. Reduced Inflammation Over the years Bladderwrack has been used as an anti-inflammatory substance. In case you are suffering from gout, arthritis, hemorrhoids, or skin irritation, bladderwrack can effectively neutralize the irritation, reduce swelling, and even relieve pain. Internal and external uses of bladderwrack are both useful methods and are even better in conjunction for sore muscles and joints. 4.

When your body is working at a high level and burning off more fat, you also suppress the appetite, thus preventing obesity and the other related health issues that come along with it. 6. Cancer Prevention Fucoidan is a unique type of fiber which is found abundantly in bladderwrack. Research has connected fucoidan with many health benefits, including lowering cholesterol, reducing blood sugar levels, and having anti-tumor effects. Essentially, one of the functions of fucoidan is to control a substance necessary for cell reproduction and growth. By slowing down that cell growth process, cancer propagation can be reduced. 7. Thyroid Improvement As discussed earlier bladderwrack was the original source of iodine back in the 19th century. Iodine is an important modulator for our thyroid gland and can ensure that our hormonal and metabolic activities are under control. Therefore, as a powerful source of iodine, bladderwrack has become associated with treating many types of thyroid disorders. Mostly, bladderwrack stimulates the thyroid gland to increase hormonal output. 8. Improved Digestion Bladderwrack consists of alginic acid, which relieves constipation and adds bulk to the bowels, encouraging a smooth digestive process that is efficient in terms of nutrient uptake. Furthermore, this helps to relieve excess flatulence, bloating, cramping, and more serious conditions like gastric ulcers and colon cancer. 9. Relieve Inflammation and Joint Pain Bladderwrack is quite beneficial for relieving the pain. Bladderwrack is often used to reduce inflammation and joint pains caused by rheumatoid arthritis. It can be used in both internal and external forms of digestion and application. It is quite easy to find Bladderwrack capsules or tablets at most natural vitamin and health stores but you should purchase the herb in raw form in order to create an infusion by steeping or brewing it in a quart of hot water. Bladderwrack also contains some components including fucoidan, carotene, bromine, and mannitol that are all vital nutrients for bone and joint health. |
