The main use of the bladderwrack as an herbal remedy is based on its high content of the essential mineral iodine, as an herbal remedy the bladderwrack is used in the form of an anti-goiter medication - the success rate of such treatments is very high. The main action of the remedy is in bringing about an increase in the thyroid glands production of hormones, the bladderwrack does this by raising the metabolic rate and functioning of the gland, at the same time, impaired thyroids seem to respond best to the treatment and the bladderwrack may not promote the same metabolic increases in healthy glands.

A comparative trail on weight loss demonstrated that patients on bladderwrack tended to lose much more weight than those who did not, this trial was conducted in Italy in the year 1976, and it involved a comparison between a controlled group given no bladderwrack and a test group given bladderwrack as a food supplement.
Bladderwrack contains phenols, polysaccharides, and minerals, especially iodine (up to 0.1%). The polysaccharides are immune-stimulant. The iodine may stimulate the thyroid gland.
The bladderwrack can be taken as an useful dietary supplement in the form of tablets or it can be taken in the form of an infusion that can be prepared by pouring a cup of boiling water over two to three teaspoonfuls of the dried herb, and letting the herb steep in this water for ten minutes by leaving it closed with a lid.
