FAQs

What are the health benefits of seaweed?

Seaweed has been linked to a series of fantastic health benefits, including:
-Improving thyroid function because of its high levels of iodine. Iodine is integral to the proper functioning of the thyroid and cannot be made by the body, so must be consumed.
-Improving heart health by lowering cholesterol levels and regulating blood pressure.
-Adding a huge number of micronutrients to your diet, including vitamins A, C, E, and K, calcium, folate, potassium, iron, manganese, and copper.
-Improving gut health by promoting the growth of good gut bacteria.

Is seaweed a plant or algae?

Seaweed is a broad term that refers to both marine plants and algae that grow in the planet’s salty waterways. Seaweed can be anything from minute, microscopic phytoplankton to the huge forest-like structures of giant kelp. Seaweed comes in a range of sizes, shapes, and textures.

Can I eat seaweed every day?

Seaweed is a nutritious food source that can be eaten every day. Like most food sources, seaweed should be consumed in moderation and as part of a healthy, balanced diet. Some seaweed snacks can have excess oils and salt, and so you should always check the label before consumption to avoid eating too much salt and fat. Seaweed also contains lots of iodine, so excessive consumption could lead to overconsumption of iodine which can affect thyroid function.
