Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 2

Sea vegetation, such as kelp, bladderwrack, and other seaweeds, has a long history of use in traditional medicine systems, particularly in coastal cultures. Its use to support the adrenal glands is largely based on the belief that the high mineral content—especially iodine—found in sea vegetation can benefit the endocrine system, which includes both the thyroid and adrenal glands. While iodine is essential for thyroid function, the connection to adrenal health is less direct. Traditional herbalists have sometimes recommended seaweeds for overall endocrine support, energy, and vitality, which are qualities associated with healthy adrenal function. However, there is limited direct scientific research validating the use of sea vegetation specifically for supporting adrenal gland health. Most studies focus on the general nutritional benefits of seaweeds or their effect on thyroid health due to iodine content. Therefore, while the traditional use is somewhat established, scientific evidence directly linking sea vegetation to adrenal support is weak or indirect. The evidence rating of 2 reflects some traditional backing but little scientific validation for this specific use.
