Bladderwrack — Fucus vesiculosus — is a brown seaweed that grows on the rocky Atlantic and Pacific coastlines of Europe and North America and has been used as a food and medicine by coastal communities for centuries. Rich in naturally occurring iodine, fucoidan, and a broad spectrum of minerals found only in seawater, Bladderwrack has been a cornerstone of coastal folk medicine traditions from Ireland to Scandinavia to the American Northeast. Irish and Scottish coastal communities consumed Bladderwrack as a foundational part of their diet for generations. Traditional Japanese medicine has used related seaweeds for centuries. Bladderwrack was the original source of iodine isolated by French chemists in the early 19th century. Today it is most valued as a thyroid wellness herb and a complementary seaweed to Sea Moss — the two are traditionally paired because they complement each other's mineral profiles perfectly.
