What else iodine does
Iodine contributes to normal functioning of the nervous system, to normal energy-yielding metabolism and to normal cognitive function. The recommended 2 capsules contain 150 µg of iodine, or 100% of the NRV.
Five types of seaweed
Sea spaghetti, Atlantic wakame, dulse, bladderwrack and spiral wrack. The seaweeds are hand-harvested off the northern coast of Scotland, dried at low temperatures and finely milled.
Capsules that can be opened
If you prefer not to swallow capsules, you can add their contents to food. The blend contains no fillers, colours or added flavourings; the shell is made from plant-based hypromellose and water.
Recommended daily dose
2 capsules daily
- Adults: take 2 capsules daily with water.
- Alternatively, open the capsules and mix the entire contents of the recommended dose into food.
- Do not combine with other iodine supplements without professional advice. If you have a thyroid condition or take thyroid medication, ask a doctor whether this product is suitable first.

Frequently asked questions
When does an iodine supplement make sense?
When dietary iodine intake is low, for example if you eat little fish or dairy and use little iodised salt. Whether a supplement is needed depends on the diet as a whole; a vegan diet does not automatically mean a deficiency. If you have a thyroid condition, do not rely on this general guidance alone: speak to a doctor.
Does this blend replace omega-3 oil from algae or fish?
No. It is a blend of whole dried seaweeds, not a concentrated oil with declared DHA and EPA levels. Two capsules contain just 9 mg of total omega-3. To top up DHA and EPA, choose a product that explicitly states their amounts.
Can I take seaweed if I have a thyroid condition?
Discuss this with a doctor first, especially if you take thyroid medication. A higher iodine intake is not always desirable. Do not add another iodine supplement or seaweed product without professional advice.
Is the blend vegan, and do I have to swallow the capsules?
Both the blend and the shell are plant-based. You can open the capsules and stir the powder into food; expect a natural seaweed taste. Because of the raw material’s origin, the product may contain traces of molluscs and crustaceans.
Will the blend replace a multivitamin or magnesium supplement?
It is not a complete replacement for such products. It mainly supplies iodine; the other listed minerals are present in much smaller amounts. For example, 2 capsules contain only 5 mg of magnesium. The 60-capsule pack lasts 30 days at the recommended dose.

Rosita: extra virgin cod liver oil made the old way
Rosita Real Foods is a Norwegian family producer that makes cod liver oil the way it was made before industrial processing. The livers come from wild cod caught in the cold, clear waters off Norway, and the oil is released using traditional methods only, with no heat and no mechanical extraction. That is what allows Rosita to call it extra virgin.
Every batch is independently tested for purity and for the levels of its naturally occurring nutrients. We stock the extra virgin cod liver oil in a 150 ml bottle, the same oil in 90 capsules, and a blend of five wild Scottish seaweeds.
