Bladderwrack Powder

Bladderwrack Powder is a fine, olive-brown powder made from Fucus vesiculosus, a brown seaweed that grows on rocky shores along the North Atlantic coasts of Europe and North America. It is used in supplements, cosmetics, seaweed baths, food seasonings and organic gardening, mainly as a natural source of iodine, minerals and marine polysaccharides.

Arizone International supplies Bladderwrack Powder for supplement and sea moss brands, cosmetic and spa companies, food and seasoning makers, gardening product companies, wholesalers and exporters.

A Seaweed From the Tide Line

Bladderwrack grows in the intertidal zone, the stretch of shore that is covered by the sea at high tide and exposed at low tide. It is easy to recognise by the pairs of air-filled bladders along its fronds, which help it float towards the light. Coastal communities in Ireland, Scotland, Brittany and Scandinavia have gathered it for centuries as a fertiliser for fields and as animal feed. For powder, it is harvested, washed, dried and milled under controlled conditions.

What Bladderwrack Contains

• IodineA natural source, though levels vary widely between harvests.
• FucoidanA sulphated polysaccharide typical of brown seaweeds.
• AlginatesGelling fibres that give seaweed its slippery feel.
• MineralsIncluding magnesium, calcium, potassium, iron and trace elements.
• PhlorotanninsPolyphenols unique to brown algae.

Applications

• Sea moss, bladderwrack and burdock supplement blends
• Capsules, tablets and mineral powders
• Seaweed bath soaks, spa wraps and thalassotherapy products
• Face masks, body wraps and cellulite creams
• Seaweed salt, seasonings and food flavouring
• Organic fertilisers, plant tonics and soil conditioners
• Animal feed supplements

In spa treatments, bladderwrack powder mixed with warm water creates a gel-like bath or wrap, a practice rooted in traditional Irish seaweed baths.

Iodine and Safety

The most important quality point for bladderwrack is iodine content, which can vary many times from one lot to another. For supplements and foods, iodine per serving must be tested and kept within the limits of the target market, because too much iodine can upset thyroid function. People with thyroid conditions, those on thyroid medicines, and pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult a doctor before using bladderwrack supplements.

Seaweeds also absorb heavy metals from seawater, including arsenic, cadmium, lead and mercury. We test every food and supplement grade batch for these contaminants.

Quality Parameters

• Species identity (Fucus vesiculosus)
• Iodine content per gram
• Heavy metals, including inorganic arsenic where required
• Moisture, salt content and particle size
• Microbiology and foreign matter

Packaging and Storage

Bladderwrack Powder is packed in moisture-proof, food-grade bags. Store sealed in a cool, dry place, as seaweed powder absorbs moisture readily.

Tips for Buyers and Formulators

Iodine content in seaweed varies, so ask for iodine results for every batch and set the daily serving within safe limits.

Keep packs sealed and dry to protect quality.
