Fucus is a true concentration of seawater. Like many other seaweeds, iodine can accumulate in structures called yoducos, which gives it a thyroid stimulating effect, increasing cell metabolism. For this reason it is widely used in therapy of obesity. Addition of iodine is also very rich in salts and other universal elements: potassium, bromine, chlorine, magnesium, calcium, iron, silica, etc.. This composition makes it a plant with remineralizing effect. The potassium salts also have a diuretic effect. Other components of seaweed are mucilaginous substances such as algin and glucosano soluble laminarin. These, in contact with water, swell in the stomach without being assimilated, thus fulfilling a role in appetite satiating agents, in addition to exercise a mild laxative action. Furthermore, the large capacity and power grip coating of colloidal solutions of the alginates, acts as a protector of the digestive mucosa. Laminarin exerts a lowering of cholesterol and other lipids.ADMINISTRATION
