Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 1

Sea vegetables, such as kelp, dulse, nori, and wakame, have been used in traditional diets, particularly in East Asian cultures, for their perceived health benefits. In traditional herbal practices, sea vegetables have sometimes been recommended for liver and gall bladder health, based on their high mineral content (notably iodine, magnesium, and trace elements) and their purported ability to support detoxification and bile flow. However, specific references to the use of sea vegetables for treating sluggish gall bladder or after gall bladder removal are sparse and largely anecdotal. There is no robust clinical or scientific evidence demonstrating that sea vegetables directly support gall bladder function or compensate for its removal. The rationale for their use is often extrapolated from their general nutritional profile and their role in supporting overall digestive health, rather than targeted gall bladder effects. In summary, the use of sea vegetables for this purpose is grounded more in traditional or holistic dietary practices than in scientific validation, and the level of evidence for effectiveness is weak (rated 1 out of 5).
