Seaweed is commonly consumed in Asian countries such as China and Japan and it’s both highly nutritious and versatile. Did you know you can even add it your Pretty Pea protein smoothies.
The planet’s sea’s and oceans are home to tens of thousands of different types of seaweed. The two you’ll find in Pretty Pea’s iodine supplement are (1) Ascophyllum nodosum and (2) Fucus vesiculosus.

Found in the northern Atlantic Ocean, it’s also known as rockweed, Norwegian kelp, knotted kelp, knotted wrack or egg wrack.
Not to be confused with kelp, however. The Brown Seaweeds have approx 1800 species and whilst they both belong to this group, they are quite different seaweeds. Kelp is generally large seaweed grown in deep water. Whereas ascophyllum is smaller, softer and grows on coastal rocks. Each type of seaweed has it’s own specific set of nutrients too.

It has long been used as an organic and mainstream fertiliser for crops because of its high levels of nutrients. Nutrients which include nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium, sulphur, fibre. manganese, copper, iron, zinc, vitamins B2, B9 and B12. So if it’s already feeding the crops we eat, why not go straight to source for such an abundance of nutrients. Although for those who don’t fancy eating seaweed, you can of course opt for a quality iodine supplement rich in organic seaweed.

It’s also commonly known as bladder wrack or bladderwrack and names including black tang, rockweed, bladder fucus, sea oak, black tany, cut weed, dyers fucus, red fucus and rock wrack.
Fucus vesiculosus is found on the coasts of the North Sea, the western Baltic Sea and the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. It was the original source of iodine, discovered in 1811. This seaweed’s primary chemical constituents include mucilage, algin, mannitol, beta-carotene, zeaxanthin, bromine, potassium, volatile oils, iodine, along with many other minerals.
Seaweeds make for both an excellent and essential source of natural iodine. Being described as an ‘ideal food-safe natural source’ of the mineral. Iodine is established as being highly beneficial in the diet.
Iodine deficiency causing a whole host of symptoms including unexpected weight gain, weakness, fatigue, hair loss, dry flaky skin and feeling cold are some of the typical symptoms.
Up to one third of the world population are at risk of iodine deficiency. Those most at risk include those in countries with insufficient levels in the food supply, areas with little iodine in the soil – this includes New Zealand, European and Asia countries; plus pregnant women; and those who don’t eat seafood / those who follow vegetarian and vegan diets.
The recommended dietary intake (RDI) of iodine is 150 mcg per day, however, many western diets are deficient in iodine. Which is where a quality iodine supplement can be the solution for many women.

Studies show that iodine may help protect cells against premature ageing.
Seaweed really is the plant that keeps on giving. It’s a great source of fibre too, having a higher fibre content than most fruit and veggies. Science now knows that fibre can increase the growth of good bacteria in the gut and preventing an imbalance of ‘bad gut bacteria’ which can lead to illness and disease.
Hippocrates, the father of medicine “all disease begins in the gut”
Fibre also acts as a natural appetite suppressant too. The fibre in seaweed can help slow the speed at which the stomach empty’s, thereby helping you feel fuller for longer.
Indeed seaweed is being touted as having ‘anti-obesity effects’. Animal studies involving the seaweed substance fucoxanthin found that it increased metabolism and may help reduce body fat. Studies also found that it significantly reduce blood sugar levels too (which aids weight loss).
Early research also indicates that seaweed may help reduce the number one killer in the world – heart disease. Studies show that seaweed may help reduce blood pressure, cholesterol and risk of blood clots.

Here’s why, Iodine is an essential mineral for normal thyroid function, mammary gland development and foetal and infant neurological growth. It also has a powerful antioxidant and alkalising effect.
The main use of seaweeds in herbal medicine is its rich source of iodine. Seaweed has an exceptional ability to absorb concentrated amounts of iodine from the sea’s. It’s been used in the treatment of under-active thyroid glands (hypothyroidism) and goitre. Plus has also been shown to help women with abnormal menstrual cycling patterns and menstrual-related disease histories.

So what is your thyroid and why is it so important? The thyroid is a butterfly shaped gland in the neck that releases thyroid hormones that control growth, energy production (aka your all important metabolism), reproduction and repairs damaged cells in your body.
In working it’s magic your thyroid relies on iodine to make thyroid hormones. So it goes without saying that iodine deficiency can lead to symptoms such as changes in bodyweight (both weight gain and weight loss) and fatigue. When it comes to women choosing thyroid supplements, iodine is a key ingredient.

IODINE ELIXIR’S OTHER SEA INGREDIENTS INCLUDE:
Spirulina is another highly nutritious food derived from plant plankton and a blue-green micro-algae. Spirulina is another nutritional powerhouse used for it’s high protein and vitamin and mineral content. Per 100g, spirulina yields 50-70% protein. Often describe as one of the most nutrient-dense foods on the planet gram for gram. Spirulina contains 18 amino acids, including the 8 essential amino acids which the body cannot produce and must be obtained by the diet daily. It’s rich in beta-carotene, vitamin E, vitamin F factor (GLA) and iron, copper, manganese and B vitamins. Alongside it’s exceptional levels of protein are it’s levels of vitamin B12 which can make it particularly popular with vegetarians, vegans and non-meat eaters who can often be low in this energy yielding nutrient.

One of the artichoke’s primary active compounds is cynarin. Cynarin (the close botanical cousin of the herb milk thistle), has been used in Europe for several decades to lower elevated blood lipids (such as high cholesterol and triglycerides), lower total serum levels and at the same time increase beneficial HDL levels., making it the pretty perfect support for liver cleansing and for the prevention of heart disease. Japanese researchers have found that artichokes can boost the production of bile by the liver, which can in turn break down fat.

Chlorella is nutrient dense, containing more chlorophyll than many known foods and more vitamin B12 than liver. It also contains beta-carotene, polyunsaturated fatty acids and 19 amino acids (including the 8 essential amino acids). Chlorella is also a rich source of calcium, iron, selenium and zinc. It provides detoxification support in the body because it’s ability to bind with heavy metals and pesticides (such as PCBs), which accumulate in the body. It’s also rich in fibre, and supports healthy digestion. Chlorella has been includes in Iodine Elixir for it’s high nutrient content, cleansing actions on the bowel and other detoxification and elimination organs, as well as its protection of the liver, and ability to help keep the blood free from impurities and the immune system strong.

Green tea, Camellia thea, is a rich source of potent catechin polyphenols. Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), in particular, is a powerful antioxidant. Polyphenols are active compounds that have beneficial health properties. Indeed studies have shown green tea polyphenols to have a stronger antioxidant action than vitamin C and vitamin E (two of the most powerful antioxidants). Green tea can also support healthy weight loss, because the polyphenols are thought to induce thermogenesis and stimulate fat oxidation.

Ashwagandha, is one of the most powerful herbs in Ayurvedic healing. It’s been used since ancient times for it’s restorative benefits which include a wide variety of conditions. In Sanskrit, ashwagandha means “the smell of a horse,” implying the vigour and strength of a stallion and has been traditionally prescribed to help people strengthen their immune system after an illness.
