Sargassum Seaweed (Sargassum) - Algae, Liquid Extract Tincture
This is an alcohol-based liquid extract (tincture) of the dried algae of Sargassum, a genus of brown seaweed in the family Sargassaceae (class Phaeophyceae). In traditional Chinese practice Sargassum is known as Hai Zao; the usual source species are Sargassum pallidum and Sargassum fusiforme.
- Botanical name: Sargassum (Sargassaceae, Phaeophyceae; brown seaweed)
- Part: Dried whole algae
- Also known as: Hai Zao, gulfweed, sargasso
- Extract type: Alcohol tincture (cold maceration in organic alcohol)
- Other ingredients: Organic alcohol, vegetable glycerin, crystal clear purified water
- Origin: Algae responsibly sourced; prepared in the USA. Gluten free.
This is Sargassum (Hai Zao), a brown seaweed. Like Bladderwrack (Fucus vesiculosus) and Kelp (Ascophyllum nodosum), it is high in iodine. It is different from Dulse (Palmaria palmata, a red seaweed) and from Spirulina (Arthrospira, a blue-green micro-organism, not a true seaweed). Because seaweed is naturally very high in iodine, please read the important safety notes below.
Important safety information - please read before use
Sargassum is very high in iodine. A few cautions are important.
- Thyroid / iodine: too much or too little iodine can upset the thyroid gland - do NOT use it if you have a thyroid condition or take thyroid medication without professional advice, do not give it to children, and do not use it for long periods.
- Heavy metals / arsenic: sea brown seaweeds can take up heavy metals and inorganic arsenic from the ocean - use only a reputable, tested source.
- Licorice: in traditional practice Sargassum should not be combined with Licorice (Gan Cao).
- Blood thinners: seaweed can affect blood clotting - talk to your practitioner if you take a blood thinner.
- Pregnancy / nursing: do NOT use during pregnancy or while nursing.
- Contains alcohol. Do not exceed the suggested serving. If you take any medication or have a medical condition, consult a qualified healthcare practitioner before use. Keep out of reach of children.

Courteous service. Product arrived on time. The item received is as described by the seller. Would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again in the future.
No problem with the quality or delivery of the Wild Lettuce. It is less powerful, fyi, than another sort of opiate, California Poppy. Yet, it has other properties. Good stuff!
Arrived on time and as described by seller.
