Menopause Matters: Supporting Hormonal Balance with PureSea®

Menopause represents a significant life stage for millions of women, bringing physiological changes that can influence wellbeing, energy levels and metabolic function. Research1-2 suggests that the transition through perimenopause and menopause may coincide with changes in thyroid function, potentially contributing to symptoms that can affect quality of life.

Studies2 found that menopausal women experiencing thyroid dysfunction reported notable improvements in menopause-related symptoms once thyroid disorders were addressed. These findings highlight the importance of supporting thyroid health when developing products for women navigating menopause.

As a gold-standard seaweed ingredient, PureSea® provides consistent wholefood nutrition from a clean-label, traceable and responsibly sourced seaweed.

Naturally rich in iodine, it helps support the production of thyroid hormones and provides a practical nutritional solution for this growing consumer group.

Thyroid hormones play a central role in regulating energy production and many physiological processes throughout the body. Through its natural iodine content, PureSea® supports approved EFSA health claims relating to cognitive function, energy metabolism, skin health, and thyroid function.

Beyond its nutritional benefits, PureSea® is wild-harvested in Scotland's Outer Hebrides using documented low-impact harvesting practices and undergoes controlled drying and milling. DNA authentication and independent certification support authenticity, traceability and quality assurance throughout the supply chain.

Available as PureSea® Natural or the microencapsulated PureSea® Protect, the range offers flexibility across a wide variety of applications. With a neutral taste and aroma, PureSea® Protect is particularly well suited to powders, sports nutrition products and beauty formulations.
