The Herb For Thyroid Support: Bladderwrack.

Bladderwrack also known as Algae, Fucus vesiculosus, rock weed and other scientific names, is a seaweed found on the coast of the North Sea, Western Baltic Sea, Pacific and Atlantic Ocean, is rich in a variety of chemicals and nutrients such as potassium, calcium and magnesium. It also contains high levels of iodine, and was in fact the original source of this chemical, used for medical treatment in the early 1800s.

Because of its rich in iodine, many use this herb today to help with thyroid support. Iodine is essential for the Thyroid to function and regulate hormones in the body. A lack of iodine can lead to under-active Thyroid or even Goiter (abnormal enlargement of the Thyroid gland). Bladderwrack not only supplies the necessary iodine to the Thyroid gland, but also triggers it to produce hormones that regulate body function.

Fun Fact: The Thyroid is an endocrine gland, located in the base of the neck and is similar in shape as of a butterfly. It makes two hormones that are secreted into the blood: thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3). These hormones are necessary for all the cells in your body to work normally. It is made up of two lobes - the right lobe and the left lobe, each about the size of a plum cut in half - and these two lobes are joined by a small bridge of thyroid tissue called the isthmus. The two lobes lie on either side of your wind-pipe. The main function of the Thyroid is to influence the metabolism of your body cells.
