Dulse A great way to absorb critical iodine

• Dulse is a rich source of potassium, which is an essential cellular ion and low in sodium salts. A recent study suggested that the majority of Westerners exhibit a potassium deficiency.
  
  
• Zinc is an important ion required for the proper functioning of an enzyme called DNA.
  
  
• Manganese is required for a surprising number of essential enzymes, such as pyruvate carboxylase, a key enzyme involved in the production of energy from sugars. Therefore, this ion is of cardinal importance.
  
  
• Dulse sea vegetable is rich in iron and is recognized for its important role as a central component of hemoglobin in the red blood cells. These cells transport oxygen around the body through blood stream. Therefore, taking a dulse seaweed supplement can help prevent anemia.
  
  
• Dulse seaweed is rich in calcium, an ion required by the body for the formation of healthy bones. Calcium is especially required by women at risk of osteoporosis and young children for the development of strong, healthy bones and teeth.
  
  
• The Magnesium in dulse is found to bind to adenosine triphosphate, the energy currency of the cell. This important energy molecule is involved in the majority of the biochemical processes the cell undergoes.
  
  
• Iodine is found in most types of sea vegetables, seaweeds and kelps. Iodine prevents gout and should be taken by people who obtain nutrition from food stuffs grown in iodine poor soils. This ion plays a role in controlling thyroxine concentration, a hormone that regulates energy levels within the body. People who are run down or are affected by lethargy often find that they suffer from reduced thyroxine levels.
