[Why] In people with insufficient iodine in their diet, bladderwrack may serve as a supplemental source of iodine. As products are not always standardized, anyone considering taking bladderwrack should first consult a physician. The amount of iodine in bladderwrack is highly variable,11 probably as a result of different amounts of iodine in the water where it grows. A reasonable portion of bladderwrack may contain the U.S. adult recommended dietary allowance (RDA) of iodine (150 mcg). The RDA amount of iodine is believed to be necessary for maintenance of normal thyroid function in adults (infants and children need proportionally less). Thus, in people with insufficient iodine in their diet, bladderwrack may serve as a supplemental source of iodine. Theoretically, either hypothyroidism or goiter due to insufficient intake of iodine may possibly improve with bladderwrack supplementation, though human studies have not confirmed this. No more than 150 mcg iodine should be consumed from all sources, including bladderwrack, per day.12 However, most bladderwrack products do not give any indication of their iodine content. Therefore, anyone considering taking bladderwrack should first consult a physician trained in nutrition and herbal medicine. [Used for]
