Synopsis

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

Sea vegetables, such as kelp, nori, wakame, and others, have a long history of use in various traditional cuisines, particularly in East Asia. Their use in supporting menopause symptoms is based primarily on traditional practices rather than robust scientific evidence. Historically, sea vegetables have been valued for their rich mineral content, especially iodine, as well as vitamins and phytonutrients. Some traditional systems of health suggest that these nutrients can help support hormonal balance during menopause. However, scientific studies specifically focusing on sea vegetables and menopause are scarce. While sea vegetables are a nutritious addition to the diet, there is limited direct evidence that they alleviate specific menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes, mood swings, or bone density loss. Most available evidence is anecdotal or based on the general nutritional profile of sea vegetables, which may contribute to overall well-being but does not constitute targeted menopause support. Therefore, while the use of sea vegetables for menopause is rooted in tradition, it is not strongly supported by scientific studies, and the evidence should be considered weak.
