Some seaweeds are microscopic, such as the phytoplankton that lives suspended in the water column and provides the base for most marine food chains. Seaweed has carrageenans, agars, and fucoidans, which act as prebiotics, non-digestible fibres that feed the healthy bacteria in your digestive tract. Sulfated polysaccharides (sugars found in Seaweed) help to increase the good bacteria's growth and the short-term fatty acids that keep the lining of your gut healthy. The natural iodine in Seaweed is absorbed slowly and excreted if and when needed. It creates a more stable, steady supply of iodine for the thyroid. Seaweed also provides many more nutrients than just iodine, offering a wider range of health benefits than salt or supplements.
