Fucus Vesiculosus
Fucus Vesiculosus commonly known as Bladderwrack is
a type of brown algae (seaweed). The Stem of Fucus Vesiculosus is
used medicinally. Discovered in 1812, this seaweed was the original
source of iodine, and was used extensively to treat goiter, a
swelling of the thyroid gland related to insufficient iodine. In the
1860s, it was claimed that Fucus Vesiculosus, as a thyroid
stimulant, could counter obesity by increasing metabolic rate, and,
since then, it has been featured in numerous weight-loss remedies.
Primary chemical constituents of this plant include mucilage, algin,
mannitol, beta-carotene, zeaxanthin, iodine, bromine, potassium,
volatile oils, and many other minerals.
