Celebrating 10 Years of PureSea® Success

As we celebrate 10 years of business history for Gold-Standard PureSea®, it's a great time to reflect on the importance of iodine for humans and animals, and the benefits of this sustainable ingredient.
Over 5 billion people — around 68% of the global population — are estimated to be iodine-deficient1, which can lead to thyroid-related issues. Symptoms may include fatigue, low mood, weight gain, dry skin, muscle discomfort, and brittle hair or nails2. Iodine is known to be essential for thyroid function.
PureSea® provides natural iodine to support six EFSA-approved health claims. Independent research show it offers a slower, more sustained iodine release compared to synthetic forms3. Sourced from the pristine Scottish Outer Hebrides, PureSea® is processed using a proprietary method.
Each batch is DNA-authenticated as part of PureSea®’s unique, fully transparent online traceability system.
With global iodine deficiency gaining attention from companies like Nestlé and Unilever, demand for safe, natural sources is expected to grow. Research also highlights PureSea®’s valuable role in supporting women’s health, particularly in areas such as fertility, menopause, endometriosis and beauty from within.
We’ve recently launched PureSea® Protect, the world's first microencapsulated seaweed that delivers all the benefits, without the flavours. The plant-based coating not only masks flavour but also protects nutrients during processing and digestion, enhancing their availability in the body — as demonstrated in an independent study.
