The bladders are air filled pods and hence this algae floats. The bladderwrack is also called kelp. Bladderwrack thallus is useful in soothing inflamed and irritated tissues. This is also used historically as a laxative. It is also observed that people residing adjacent to seas or oceans have low rate of hypothyroidism owing to iodine rich food and seaweeds such as bladderwrack. Bladderwrack is also useful in countering obesity as it stimulated the thyroid gland. Seaweeds such as bladderwrack assist in losing weight. Three active constituents are alginic acid, iodine and fucoidan. Bladderwrack is safe and has potential problems in consuming such as thyroid dysfunction, heavy metal contamination and acne. As bladderwrack is another type of seaweed it has excessive iodine and consuming excessive iodine results in health problems.

Cellulose is the structural component of the primary cell wall of green plants, many forms of algae and the oomycetes. Cellulose is not digestible by humans and is often referred to as 'dietary fiber' or 'roughage', acting as a hydrophilic bulking agent for feces.

Chromium Polynicotinate, which is a form of chromium, an essential trace mineral that is needed for the body's production of insulin. Insulin is a hormone that stabilizes the body's blood sugar level.

Di-Calcium Phosphate is mainly used as a dietary supplement in prepared breakfast cereals, dog treats, enriched flour and noodle products. It is also used as a tableting agent in some pharmaceutical preparations. It is used as a feed for poultry.

It stimulates the taste buds and promotes the flow of saliva, gastric juices and bile.It also has been used in cases of anorexia

Iodine, a necessary element used by the body to make the thyroid hormones thyroxine and triiodothyronine. These Thyroid hormones are needed to maintain a healthy metabolic rate and cellular metabolism.

Irish Moss, also called Chondrus crispus, a species of red algae. Irish moss contains 55 to 90 percent mucilage, and small amounts of carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, sulfur, chlorine, phosphorous, bromine, fluorine, sodium, potassium, calcium, silica, iodine, and magnesium. Irish Moss is also soothing to the digestive system.

L-Tyrosine is an amino acid that may be found in foods such as meats, dairy products, wheat, fish, and oats. It plays an important role in the production of neurotransmitters such as L-dopa, dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine that aids in the proper functioning of the brain. It prevents feelings of anxiety, irritability, frustration, sadness and depression. It also helps in losing weight because it aids in suppressing appetite and cravings. It also has the ability to enhance the libido. L-Tyrosine also protects the skin from UV light rays by being converted into melanin. It also benefits people with Alzheimer’s disease and dementia.

Magnesium Stearate is coommonly used as a filling agent in the manufacture of capsules and tablets, such as vitamins, the source of this ingredient is typically bovine. However, there is an increasing number of vegetarian options in which the product specifically indicates it contains magnesium stearate from vegetable sources.

Maltodextrin is a form of glucose that is found in many foods as an additive. It is easy to digest and is almost flavorless. Maltodextrin is formed mainly from starchy products, such as corn and wheat. The starch in these foods is being used to produce maltodextrin through a process called hydrolisys. Maltodextrin is presently being used as an alternative to sugar because it has the ability to produce a sweet flavoring without as many calories. Although considered a carbohydrate, it has lower levels of properties as compared to carbohydrates, thus keeping the consumer free from worry about health issues. Maltodextrin is an effective and inexpensive way to get the required flavoring you desire in your favorite foods, without having to worry about your health.

Manganese is a trace mineral that has long been associated with musculoskeletal health. It activates enzymes in the body that is necessary for the production of collagen and proteoglycan, components of connective tissue. It also aids in the absorption of calcium in the body. It helps prevent the development of osteoporosis and osteoarthritis. Manganese helps in the digestion and utilization of vitamin E in the body that makes it a potent antioxidant. It fights free radicals from damaging the cells that may lead to premature aging, heart problems and cancer. It alleviates premenstrual syndrome (PMS) such as mood swings and nausea.

Stearic Acid is a saturated fatty acid that occurs in many animal and vegetable fats and oils.

Stearic acid is used to harden soaps, particularly those made with vegetable oil. Even though stearic acid is a saturated fat, studies have suggested that it has little effect on blood cholesterol levels, because such a high proportion is converted to oleic acid.

Vitamin B6, which active form pyridoxal phosphate or otherwise known as PLP and pyridoxal-5’-phosphate, is a prosthetic group of tightly bound cofactors responsible for many reactions within the amino acid metabolism and the manipulation of the enzymatic reaction behind the release of glucose from glycogen. Vitamin B6 generally comprises three organic compounds, pyridoxine, pyridoxal and pyridoxamine, all of them heterocyclic organic compounds that are converted in the human body to the active pyridoxal phosphate form. There are three reactions attributed to PLP, namely transamination, alpha elimination and beta elimination. Over one hundred and forty enzyme activities depend on pyridoxal phosphate, neurotransmitter and histamine synthesis, synthesis and function of hemoglobin, and gene expression. As a cofactor, PLP is active in amino acid metabolism, glucogenesis and lipid metabolism.
