      St. Francis Bladderwrack Tincture Details

      Bladderwrack is a brown seaweed found along the Atlantic coast, named for the air bladders that keep its fronds afloat. It was the original source of iodine, isolated from it in 1811, and it remains the herb most associated with thyroid support for that reason.

      That iodine content is the whole reason to take it and the whole reason to be careful with it. Iodine is essential for thyroid hormone production, and deficiency is a genuine cause of thyroid dysfunction — but excess iodine can also disrupt the thyroid, and seaweed iodine content varies considerably with where and when it was harvested.

      Made from bladderwrack (Fucus vesiculosus, thallus) at 250 mg Quantity Crude Equivalent per millilitre, in a base of distilled water and certified organic alcohol. 50 ml with a dropper.

      St. Francis Herb Farm has been making liquid herbal extracts in Ontario since 1988. Their tinctures use certified organic alcohol and distilled water, and are made to a stated extraction ratio so you know the strength of what you are taking.

      Who St. Francis Bladderwrack Tincture Is For

      This suits people interested in a traditional whole-plant source of iodine rather than a supplement, and anyone building a mineral-rich seaweed into their routine.

      **Do not use if you have a thyroid condition or are taking thyroid medication without speaking to a practitioner first.** That is the central caution with this herb, not a formality — iodine affects thyroid function in both directions. Not for use in pregnancy or while breastfeeding without practitioner advice.

      Frequently Asked Questions

      Product Information

      ➕ What is St. Francis Bladderwrack Tincture?
      A single-herb liquid extract of bladderwrack (Fucus vesiculosus, thallus) at 250 mg QCE per millilitre, in a 50 ml dropper bottle.
      ➕ How much do I take?
      Adults: as directed on the label, in a little water on an empty stomach.
      ➕ Why a tincture rather than capsules?
      Liquid extracts absorb without needing to disintegrate first, and a dropper lets you adjust the dose to the drop.
      ➕ Does it contain alcohol?
      Yes. Certified organic alcohol is the extraction solvent — it is what pulls the compounds from the plant. Taken in a little water the amount per dose is very small, but it is worth knowing if you avoid alcohol.

      Benefits of Ingredients

      ➕ What is bladderwrack?
      A brown seaweed found along the Atlantic coast, named for the air bladders that keep its fronds afloat.
      ➕ Why is it linked to the thyroid?
      It is naturally rich in iodine, which is essential for thyroid hormone production. Iodine was first isolated from seaweed in 1811.
      ➕ Why the thyroid warning?
      Iodine affects thyroid function in both directions — too little and too much are both problems. Anyone with a thyroid condition needs practitioner advice first.
      ➕ What does Quantity Crude Equivalent mean?
      Quantity Crude Equivalent tells you how much raw herb each millilitre represents. A 1:4 tincture at 250 mg QCE means every millilitre carries the equivalent of 250 mg of dried herb. Stating the ratio is what separates a properly made tincture from one that simply lists an ingredient.

      Usage and Storage

      ➕ How do I take it?
      Adults: as directed on the label, in a little water on an empty stomach.
      ➕ Are there any cautions?
      Do not use if you have a thyroid condition or are taking thyroid medication without first consulting a health care practitioner. Consult a health care practitioner before use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, and if symptoms worsen or persist.
      ➕ How should I store it?
      Store in a cool, dry place away from direct light with the cap closed. Keep out of reach of children.
