Below is general information about the safety of the known ingredients contained in the product Organic Dulse Seaweed Vanilla Flavor. Some ingredients may not be listed. This information does NOT represent a recommendation for or a test of this specific product as a whole.
LIKELY SAFE ...when used orally in food amounts. Dulse has a long history of use as a food ingredient in various parts of the world (103315,103317,103321).
POSSIBLY SAFE ...when used topically and appropriately (103322). There is insufficient reliable information available about the safety of dulse when used in amounts greater than those found in foods.
PREGNANCY AND LACTATION:
There is insufficient reliable information available about the safety of dulse when used in medicinal amounts during pregnancy or lactation; avoid amounts greater than those found in foods.

Dulse is rich in potassium (103317). ACEIs block the actions of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system and reduce potassium excretion (95628). Concomitant use of these drugs with moderate dietary potassium intake (about 3775-5200 mg daily) does not increase serum potassium levels (95628). However, using these drugs while consuming dulse in quantities that provide larger amounts of potassium daily might increase the risk of hyperkalemia. Additionally, in vitro research suggests that dulse protein hydrolysates inhibit the activity of ACE (103319). Theoretically, concomitant use of these drugs with dulse might increase their effects and side effects. However, these effects have not been demonstrated in humans.
Details
The ACE inhibitors include benazepril (Lotensin), captopril (Capoten), enalapril (Vasotec), fosinopril (Monopril), lisinopril (Prinivil, Zestril), moexipril (Univasc), perindopril (Aceon), quinapril (Accupril), ramipril (Altace), and trandolapril (Mavik).

Dulse is rich in potassium (103317). ARBs block the actions of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system and reduce potassium excretion (95628). Concomitant use of these drugs with moderate dietary potassium intake (about 3775-5200 mg daily) does not increase serum potassium levels (95628). However, using these drugs while consuming dulse in quantities that provide higher amounts of potassium daily might increase the risk of hyperkalemia. Additionally, in vitro research suggests that dulse protein hydrolysates inhibit the activity of angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) (103319). Theoretically, concomitant use of ARBs with dulse might increase their effects and side effects. However, these effects have not been demonstrated in humans.
Details
Some ARBs include losartan (Cozaar), valsartan (Diovan), irbesartan (Avapro), candesartan (Atacand), telmisartan (Micardis), eprosartan (Teveten), and others.

Dulse is rich in potassium (103317). Therefore, concomitant use of digoxin with dulse might increase the risk of hyperkalemia. This has not been demonstrated in humans.

Dulse is rich in potassium (103317). Therefore, concomitant use of potassium-sparing diuretics with dulse may increase the risk of hyperkalemia. This has not been shown in humans.
Details
Some potassium-sparing diuretics include amiloride (Midamor), spironolactone (Aldactone), and triamterene (Dyrenium), and others.

Dulse is rich in iodine (103315,103323). Although dulse has been associated with a statistically significant increase in thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) levels in clinical research, clinically significant increases have not been documented (103315,103323). Theoretically, dulse might interfere with drugs used to treat thyroid dysfunction.
Details
Some thyroid hormones include levothyroxine (Synthroid, Levoxyl, Levothroid), liothyronine sodium (Cytomel), desiccated thyroid (Armor Thyroid), and others.

Below is general information about the adverse effects of the known ingredients contained in the product Organic Dulse Seaweed Vanilla Flavor. Some ingredients may not be listed. This information does NOT represent a recommendation for or a test of this specific product as a whole.
General ...Orally, dulse seems to be well tolerated. No adverse effects have been reported. However, a thorough evaluation of safety outcomes has not been conducted.
