Seaweed, Kelp, Bladderwrack (Fucus vesiculosus)

Medline Plus -- Herbs and Supplements

"Bladderwrack contains variable levels of iodine (up to 600 micrograms of iodine per gram of bladderwrack). As a result, it has been used to treat thyroid disorders such as goiter. Although there are case reports of seaweed/kelp products causing hyperthyroidism, there have not been studies of dosing, safety, or efficacy, and there is no widely accepted standardization of iodine content for these products. While the evidence does suggest thyroid activity, there is not enough research to support this use of bladderwrack."
