Marine Essence Organic Irish Moss, Organic Bladderwrack, Organic Burdock and BioPerine®
Along rocky Atlantic and Northern European coasts, seaweeds like Irish moss and bladderwrack were humble staples—steeped into broths, added to breads, and prized during lean seasons. Their appeal was practical: trace minerals, gentle fibers, and a smooth texture that soothed digestion. On land, burdock root traveled from Eurasia into cuisines and clinics, valued as a cleansing, prebiotic food that helped the skin mirror inner balance.
Irish moss supplies natural minerals associated with hydration and electrolyte balance. Bladderwrack contributes iodine and unique marine polyphenols that coastal peoples linked with vitality and warmth. Burdock root provides inulin and other fibers that feed beneficial gut bacteria, supporting regularity and comfortable digestion. A precise amount of black pepper extract is included to help escort select nutrients across the intestinal wall.
Marine Essence honors frugality and nourishment: a few elements, carefully chosen, that work well together. It fits neatly with modern practices—hydration, balanced electrolytes, and fiber-rich meals—reminding us that clean, simple foods from sea and soil can do lasting good.

DETAILED INGREDIENTS LIST
ORGANIC IRISH MOSS
Introduction & History:
Irish moss (Chondrus crispus) is a species of red seaweed traditionally harvested along the rocky coasts of Ireland and the Atlantic. It has been used for centuries in folk remedies, particularly during the Irish Potato Famine, for its nutritive and soothing properties.
Molecular Function & Mechanism:
Irish moss is naturally rich in mucilaginous polysaccharides, primarily carrageenan, which form a soothing gel when hydrated. It also contains trace minerals, iodine, and antioxidants. These compounds support hydration of mucous membranes, provide gentle digestive support, and contribute to overall mineral intake.
Modern Use & Theory:
Often included in supplements for its role in digestive health, skin hydration, thyroid support (due to natural iodine content), and as a natural source of minerals.
ORGANIC BLADDERWRACK
Introduction & History:
Bladderwrack (Fucus vesiculosus) is a brown seaweed found along the North Atlantic coasts. It has been used in traditional European herbalism since the early 19th century, most notably for supporting thyroid health due to its iodine content.
Molecular Function & Mechanism:
Bladderwrack provides iodine, which is critical for the synthesis of thyroid hormones that regulate metabolism, energy balance, and growth. It also contains fucoidans—sulfated polysaccharides with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and immune-modulating activity.
Modern Use & Theory:
Commonly used in supplements to support healthy thyroid function, metabolism, and as a natural source of minerals and antioxidants.
ORGANIC BURDOCK
Introduction & History:
Burdock (Arctium lappa) is a root vegetable native to Europe and Asia, with a long history in Traditional Chinese Medicine and European folk medicine. It has been used as a blood purifier and liver tonic.
Molecular Function & Mechanism:
Burdock root contains inulin (a prebiotic fiber), polyphenols, and lignans. These compounds support gut microbiome balance, provide antioxidant protection, and promote healthy liver function. Burdock is also noted for compounds that support detoxification pathways.
Modern Use & Theory:
Used to promote liver and digestive health, skin clarity, and as a supportive herb in detoxification formulas.
BIOPERINE®
Introduction & History:
BioPerine® is a patented standardized extract of black pepper (Piper nigrum) fruit, developed to enhance nutrient absorption. Black pepper has been used as both a spice and medicinal agent for thousands of years.
Molecular Function & Mechanism:
BioPerine® contains piperine, which inhibits enzymes involved in the metabolism of certain nutrients and slows their transit through the gut. This enhances the bioavailability of vitamins, minerals, and plant compounds such as curcumin, often by many fold.
Modern Use & Theory:
Included in supplements as a bioenhancer, ensuring greater absorption and efficacy of other active ingredients.
PULLULAN CAPSULES
Introduction & History:
Pullulan is a natural polysaccharide produced by fermentation of starch by the fungus Aureobasidium pullulans. It was developed as a clean-label capsule alternative in the mid-20th century.
Molecular Function & Mechanism:
Pullulan capsules are oxygen-impermeable, helping protect sensitive ingredients from oxidation and degradation. They are inert, safe, and dissolve quickly in the digestive tract.
Modern Use & Theory:
Used as a vegan-friendly, non-GMO capsule material that maintains ingredient stability and provides a premium option for supplement delivery.
