WHAT CAN’T SHE DO.

Abundant in POTASSIUM, CALCIUM & SELENIUM, protein & fiber; dulse strengthens our bones, & balances blood pressure.

A superb source of Vitamin B12, something difficult to find in plants, dulse bolsters blood, strengthens bones & leads to healthier hair: preventing hair loss & promoting hair growth. Good B12 levels alleviate anemia, replacing fatigued, weak states with elevated energy & stamina.

Rich in beta-carotene and lutein, dulse boosts eye heath and improves VISION, protecting our retina from the damage done by the blue light all around us.

Its IODINE levels, something most of people are deficient in, supports THYROID HEALTH. As the thyroid regulates metabolism, this also encourages robust metabolism, optimal weight and healthy hormonal balance. The phytoestrogens present in dulse further help modulate hormones, specifically estrogen, an excess of which can mean stubborn belly fat and painful PMS & menopausal symptoms.

Seaweed has enzymes that break down complex starches, aiding in digestion, as well as a mucilaginous texture that promotes gut healing. It also has contains alginate, a compound that in combination with the high antioxidant presence has anti-inflammatory throughout the body, including the digestive system. Alginate also BINDS TO TOXINS including HEAVY METALS, and escorts them from the body.

Seaweed is something that escapes most people’s diets, but that dishes up a bounty of benefit with notable EASE. You don’t have to cook it or extract the benefits with long steeping methods. This is why we blend dulse into our Mermaid Dust salt: something you can keep on the counter, in your car, in your purse, & sprinkle onto EVERYTHING YOU EAT- there couldn’t be a simpler (or more beautiful & fun!) way to incorporate this superfood into daily life. The dash of purple lights up presentation & never fails to impress or delight.

We get ours from Smithereen Farm in Pembroke, Maine, where they harvest it wild in the Atlantic ocean.*
