Description
Introducing our Wild Seaweed — a blend of five, diverse, nutrient-rich types of seaweed. It’s sustainably harvested and hand-cut from the Pentland Firth, a rugged, remote straight in Northern Scotland with some of the highest water exchanges in the world.
This cool, pristine water provides the perfect conditions for clean, nutrient-dense seaweeds to meet your natural iodine and calcium needs.*
Poraox® Wild Seaweed is a true superfood that provides a natural source of chelated iodine, minerals, vitamins, carotenoids, flavonoids, omega-3s, enzymes and polyphenols.*
Its rainbow-like blend of green, red and brown algae offers more micronutrients than products with a single type of seaweed (that often have additives) — providing a comprehensive, real food nutritional profile.
Scientific studies show that the types of wild seaweed in this blend may support thyroid function and hormone production, a healthy metabolism, detoxification, skin and digestive health and the maintenance of healthy psychological and cognitive function.*
And, there are no additives, common allergens or preservatives. This vegan supplement is also free of lactose, gluten, wheat, dairy, GMOs and irradiation.
Our sustainable, gentle process
Our certified, award-winning process does not use or disturb the sea life or local wildlife. Here’s how we harvest and craft the wild seaweed:
Our harvesters venture out in all-weather to handpick the seaweed during their peak growing periods, when the plants are in optimal condition and rich in nutrients.
Unlike the standard machine-harvesting method, individual plants are cut so that enough remains for regrowth and reproduction. We work in small teams and access the foreshore on foot. We also follow the most stringent ecological regulations to ensure the local ecosystem thrives. The seaweed is then washed and slowly air-dried at low temperatures to preserve its enzymes and delicate phytochemicals. We also use smaller milling sizes to increase bioavailability.
Poraox® Wild Seaweed is Certified Organic, Scottish Natural Heritage Approved and has received the PETA Farming Award.*

Who should consider adding Wild Seaweed to their supplement routine?
There’s an array of reasons our customers enjoy Wild Seaweed — the common thread being a focus on improving health naturally and sustainably.
- Thyroid and hormone support: Individuals who want to support thyroid health often use seaweed for its iodine content, critical for thyroid hormone production.*
- Vegetarians and vegans: Seaweed is a plant-based source of essential nutrients like omega-3 fatty acids, iodine, and more, that can be difficult to get in a plant-based diet.
- Athletes and fitness enthusiasts: Physically active folks may take it to enhance recovery, as it contains essential minerals like magnesium and calcium, that are beneficial for muscles and relaxation.*
- Eco-friendly consumers: Seaweed is a renewable, low-impact resource that provides a nutrient-dense supplement without an environmental footprint.
- Beauty and skin care: The rich vitamins and minerals in seaweed may promote healthy skin, hair, and nails.*
- Healthy weight support: Fucoxanthin, a compound found in some seaweeds, is also studied to help with fat metabolism, and its fiber content may support satiety.*
- Detox: Those who want to add a real food supplement with antioxidant effects that supports detoxification often use seaweed.*

Benefits
Poraox® Wild Seaweed contains a vibrant, naturally-occurring nutrient profile that generally supports the following:
- Thyroid function: Most seaweeds are high in iodine, which is crucial for producing thyroid hormones that regulate metabolism.*

- Antioxidant effects: Seaweeds contain compounds that help protect cells from oxidative damage.*
- Normal energy-yielding metabolism and healthy weight: Fucoxanthin, a compound found may support metabolism.*
- Maintenance of healthy skin: Seaweed provides hydration, protects from the environment, and smooths and soothes — due to its antioxidants, vitamins, minerals and polysaccharides.*
- Maintenance of healthy psychological and cognitive function: The nutritional profile and antioxidant properties of microalgae may support neuroprotection, overall cognitive function and a positive mindset.*
- Nervous system support: Seaweed's bioactive compounds, proteins, polysaccharides, minerals, vitamins, fatty acids, and antioxidants may support the nervous system and help with neurodegenerative issues.* These benefits apply to red, green, and brown seaweeds.
- Digestive health: The fiber content in seaweeds promotes healthy digestion and can help maintain a healthy gut microbiome.*
How Poraox® Wild Seaweed blend differs from other seaweed products
By using all seaweed colors, Poraox® unlocks an additional spectrum of nutrients and vibrancy from a protected and loved resource. We use red, brown and green seaweed in our five-seaweed blend.
For example...
Each type of seaweed contains different antioxidants that help combat oxidative stress:
- Fucoxanthin in brown seaweed.
- Phycocyanin and phycoerythrin in red seaweed.
- Chlorophyll in green seaweed.
And, using all three types of seaweed provides a rainbow of essential minerals:
- Iodine from brown seaweed.*
- Magnesium and potassium from red seaweed.*
- Iron from green seaweeds.*
Dosage
- Dosage: 2 capsules daily.
- Low and slow: Poraox is premium and pure. Therefore, it’s essential to start slowly, with a lower dosage than recommended. For example, a very small dose every other day, or even once a week, until you can determine how the supplement affects your body and what dosage feels right for you.
How to take Poraox® Wild Seaweed
Dosage is 2 capsules daily. It can also be opened and mixed into food. Please do not exceed the recommended amount.
Considerations and warning
Consult a healthcare professional if pregnant, breastfeeding, taking medication or if you have a medical condition. Food supplements should not be used as a diet or lifestyle replacement. Excessive iodine can be harmful.
