RECOMMENDED READING

Fucus

Fucus is a herb that has been used for many centuries for its iodine content.

Because of the iodine content it has proved to be beneficial to the thyroid gland, particularly in low thyroid states, or hypothyroidism.

It has also been used to boost the metabolism – through its action upon the thyroid gland – and has been used for this reason for weight loss and low energy problems.

Fucus is available as a capsule, or as a herb tincture. Both are as effective as each other, and it is just a matter of preference as to the actual preparation used.

Other herbs or nutrients may be recommended when treating thyroid or other problems discussed above.

Recommended Dosage

10 drops twice or three times daily (tincture). One capsule three times daily (capsules).

May be increased if necessary – as advised by a health practitioner.

Cautions / Adverse Reactions

Fucus is well tolerated at the recommended dosage.

There are no known contra-indications at the normal dosage.
