Gracilaria is a red seaweed, also called Irish moss, that grows in cold Atlantic waters. It is mainly used to support digestive health, provide iodine for thyroid function, and as a natural thickening agent in foods and herbal preparations. People taking thyroid medication or those with iodine sensitivity should use it cautiously, and it can cause mild gastrointestinal upset or allergic skin reactions in some individuals.
