How to Stop Hair Loss With Bladderwrack

Bladderwrack (Fucus Vesiculosus) is a type of brown seaweed found on rocks near the coasts of North America and Northern Europe. Comprised comprised primarily of alginic acid, fucoidan and iodine, bladderwrack is often sold in nutritional supply stores as a capsule or powder supplement to treat a number of conditions, including hair loss. You can also buy shampoos and conditioners made from seaweed that claim to promote healthier hair and increased growth. Seaweed is rich in vitamins, minerals and anti-oxidants, all of which are needed by hair follicles to maintain healthy growth.
