Our raw organic Dulse Powder is a natural source of minerals and can be included in practically any dish

We recommend sprinkling it on top of entrees, soups, and salads. Or it can be added to smoothies, teas, and iced drinks. Our Dulse Powder comes from the pristine and protected oceans off the coast of Canada.

Dulse is also a great natural source of Iodine / Potassium Iodide (KI). Iodine is a chemical element essential for supporting a healthy thyroid that regulates growth and metabolism. Iodine / Potassium Iodide (KI), administered orally immediately after exposure to certain types of radiation, may be used to protect the thyroid from ingested radioactive iodine. But Potassium iodide (KI) / Iodine would only be effective if the radiation contains radioactive iodine. This natural form of Iodine from dulse is absorbed by your body more slowly and safely than chemical or synthetic iodine. Furthermore, dulse helps promote an alkaline pH balance within the body and also supports a healthy immune system response.

Dulse, contains around 10 - 20% protein and a whole slew of vitamins and minerals including alpha-carotene, beta-carotene, cobalt, lutein, niacin, phosphorus, riboflavin, selenium, silicon, sodium, tin, zeaxanthin, calcium, potassium, magnesium, iron, iodine, manganese, copper, chromium, zinc, vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, B6, B12, C, E and zinc. Unlike other seaweeds, it is relatively low in sodium.

Dulse powder is a natural source of other phytochemicals and minerals. The complex polysaccharides in the herb make it a gentle alternative to psyllium or senna for supporting healthy bowels. There are anecdotal reports that the daily use of a few flakes of Dulse can relieve cyclic mastalgia after two months. Dulse is also eaten with fish and butter, boiled with milk and rye flour, or as a relish. The gelatinous substance contained in Dulse is a thickening agent and imparts a reddish color to the food with which it is mixed.

In several traditions of European herbal medicine, dulse powder was used to support a healthy detoxification response. Diets deficient in iodine increase the risk of retarded brain development in children (cretinism), mental slowness, high cholesterol, lethargy, fatigue, depression, weight gain, and goiter: a swelling of the thyroid gland in the neck.
