Dulse (Palmaria palmata) is an edible seaweed rich in nutrients, including dietary fiber, protein, iodine, B vitamins, and potassium. Dulse's iodine content helps support the thyroid gland, which plays a significant role in metabolism and growth and development of the body. The potassium contained in Dulse acts as a vasodilator that helps improve blood flow and reduce strain on blood vessels and arteries caused by high blood pressure and protects against coronary heart disease, strokes, and heart attacks. Dulse contains alginic acid, which helps detoxify the body by absorbing heavy metals and radioactive elements from the body. Dulse contains omega-3 fatty acids that help improve brain and nervous system function. Dulse contains calcium, magnesium, and iron; all of which contribute to improved bone mineral density and help prevent osteoporosis. Dulse contains vitamin A and several carotenoids that support healthy vision and protects against age related macular degeneration and cataracts.
