One of the richest forms of plant life, seaweed (Ascopyllum Nodosum) is abundant in health-promoting properties, and as such forms an essential part of any canine diet. Dried seaweed products include seaweed meal (crushed and dried fresh seaweed), powdered seaweed extract (produced by boiling the seaweed and evaporating off its liquid content, leaving a concentrated solid extract that is powdered), and liquid seaweed extract (produced from fresh seaweed by water extraction). Other animal studies found similar results. For example, fucoxanthin has been shown to significantly reduce blood sugar levels in rats, further aiding weight loss ( 37, 38).

Indian Dermatol Online J. 2013;4(2):143-146. doi:10.4103/2229-5178.110593 Seaweed is known to stimulate the renewal of damaged skin cells, so it’s no surprise that it is widely used as an effective treatment for conditions like Psoriasis, Eczema, Dermatitis and Acne. It moisturises and smoothes the skin. Seaweed reacts with protein to form a gel which has a distinctly moisturising effect on the skin.Your thyroid gland releases hormones to help control growth, energy production, reproduction and the repair of damaged cells in your body ( 1, 2). Seaweed is also considered to have anti-obesity effects. In particular, several animal studies suggest that a substance in seaweed called fucoxanthin may help reduce body fat ( 34, 35, 36).

Additionally, it’s important to note that seaweed is water-soluble, which means cooking and processing it can affect its iodine content. For example, when kelp is boiled for 15 minutes, it can lose up to 99% of its iodine content ( 6). We’vesupplied Australia with Seaweed since 1974 when my father, Grahame West, started this business – almost half a century later, we’re still family owned and operated. Its iodine content varies greatly depending on the type, where it was grown, and how it was processed. In fact, one dried sheet of seaweed can contain 11–1,989% of the RDI ( 7).If dug in fresh, then seaweed is used like any other soil conditioner, digging it in to one or two spades’ depth below the surface and using up to a barrow load per square metre (if you have this much available). One animal study found that rats who consumed fucoxanthin lost weight, whereas rats who consumed the control diet did not. Nevertheless, high amounts of seaweed can affect thyroid function, and symptoms of too much iodine are often the same as symptoms of not enough iodine ( 7).
