“Whereas iodide is about the most predominant species present in Kombu, a more complicated distribution of iodine is present in Wakame seaweed. This study shows that incorporation of iodine in different seaweeds follows different metabolic pathways, notwithstanding that both of them belong to same class, Phaeophyceae. The presence of iodide was proved in Kombu, while in the case of Wakame, monoiodotyrosine and diiodotyrosine are also present and probably bound to the proteins. Since the bioavailability of iodide is better than any other form of iodine, Kombu seaweed would be preferred as a natural dietary supplement.”
