A relatively low iodine-containing brown seaweed, our local Wakame tends to have a good amount of fucoidan, a highly medicinal sulfated polysaccharide well-studied for its antiviral, neuroprotective, antioxidant, anticancer, and immunomodulatory properties, among others, as well as its profound ability to support the health and regeneration of various tissues of the body. It is a high-protein seaweed and contains many of the vitamins, minerals, and trace elements similar to the other seaweeds in this blend, particularly vitamins A and C. Alaria species have been shown to contain relatively high amounts of potassium, phosphorus, and selenium among seaweeds, and it also contains phlorotannins, like many other brown seaweeds.
Seaweeds can naturally contain significant levels of iodine. While cooking seaweeds can substantially reduce iodine content, individuals with thyroid conditions, iodine sensitivity or deficiency, or elders should integrate seaweeds into their diet gradually and thoughtfully. Professional guidance in these cases is recommended.
Seaweeds provided by Nature Spirit Herbs, BC Kelp, and/or Maine Coast Sea Vegetables.
Our seaweeds are wild harvested from coastal environments where they naturally thrive—often in areas of strong current, wave action, and elemental exposure. Dynamic intertidal conditions—shifting tides, sunlight, wave energy, and environmental variability—influence the development of many compounds for which seaweeds are traditionally valued, creating phytochemical profiles that differ from farmed seaweeds grown in more controlled settings.
We partner with harvesters working in high-energy coastal environments where seaweeds are exposed to conditions that support robust growth, diverse bioactive compounds, and contribute to the overall health and diversity of seaweed communities. Our harvesters are committed to the long-term health of wild seaweed communities, using sustainable practices that support regeneration and resilience.
