HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Dulse Seaweed Chocolate Flavor by TerraVita

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This product contains one active ingredient: dulse seaweed glycerite liquid extract. Dulse is a red seaweed that's naturally rich in both iodine and potassium—two minerals that matter for thyroid function and heart health.

The formula also includes glycerin and chocolate flavor as inactive ingredients.

Does it work?

Couldn't assess
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Not assessable

This is a single-ingredient Dulse product and its label doesn't state a use — see Dulse's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.

The evidence for dulse isn't well established in the data we hold. For high cholesterol and iodine deficiency, the research is insufficient to give it a reliable rating.

If you're thinking about using it for either of those reasons, talk with your doctor about whether the science supports it for your situation.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Dulse

How safe is it?

Some data gaps
Safety Information · database check
Some gaps

Safety data exists for these ingredients, but with some important gaps.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 0 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Dulse is generally well tolerated as a food, but the supplement form here may deliver much higher iodine and potassium than normal eating does, so it should be used cautiously. The exact iodine levels in supplements can vary unpredictably, and long-term safety data is limited.

During pregnancy and lactation, the safety data isn't robust enough to know either way—excess iodine can pass into breast milk—so if you're pregnant or breastfeeding, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking this.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Dulse

Meds to double-check

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Dulse.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: heart-rhythm medications.
  • For scale: 85 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

If you take thyroid hormone, antithyroid drugs (like propylthiouracil or methimazole), or amiodarone, double-check with your doctor or pharmacist before using this product—all are Moderate-severity concerns. Also flag it if you're on digoxin or potassium-managing blood pressure drugs like ACE inhibitors, ARBs, or potassium-sparing diuretics, though those are lower-severity risks.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and some safety-information gaps remain.

This is worth considering if you're looking for iodine or potassium, but it's not for people on thyroid medications, heart drugs, or most blood pressure medications. Because concentrated supplement doses can vary widely and interact with common prescriptions, check your medications with your pharmacist or doctor before starting.

Dulse Seaweed Glycerite Liquid Extract7 drug types · 85 drugs

Amiodarine (Cordarone)

Theoretically, combining dulse with amiodarone might cause excessively high iodine levels.
Dulse is rich in iodine, and amiodarone contains 37.3% iodine and can increase iodine levels.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antithyroid Drugs

Theoretically, due to its iodine content, dulse might alter the effects of antithyroid drugs.
Dulse is rich in iodine. Iodine in high doses has been reported to cause both hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism, depending on the individual's past medical history.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Digoxin (Lanoxin)

Theoretically, dulse might increase the risk of hyperkalemia when taken with digoxin.
Dulse is rich in potassium, and digoxin can increase potassium levels in the blood. This interaction has not been demonstrated in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Thyroid Hormone

Theoretically, due to its iodine content, dulse might alter the effects of thyroid hormone.
Dulse is rich in iodine. Iodine in high doses has been reported to cause both hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism, depending on the individual's past medical history. Although dulse has been associated with a statistically significant increase in thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) levels in clinical research, clinically significant increases have not been documented.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Ace Inhibitors (Aceis)

Theoretically, dulse might increase the risk of hyperkalemia when taken with ACEIs.
Dulse is rich in potassium. ACEIs block the actions of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system and reduce potassium excretion. Concomitant use of these drugs with moderate dietary potassium intake (about 3775-5200 mg daily) does not increase serum potassium levels. However, using these drugs while consuming dulse in quantities that provide larger amounts of potassium daily might increase the risk of hyperkalemia. Additionally, in vitro research suggests that dulse protein hydrolysates inhibit the activity of ACE. However, these effects have not been demonstrated in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Angiotensin Receptor Blockers (Arbs)

Theoretically, dulse might increase the risk of hyperkalemia when taken with ARBs.
Dulse is rich in potassium. ARBs block the actions of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system and reduce potassium excretion. Concomitant use of these drugs with moderate dietary potassium intake (about 3775-5200 mg daily) does not increase serum potassium levels. However, using these drugs while consuming dulse in quantities that provide higher amounts of potassium daily might increase the risk of hyperkalemia. Additionally, in vitro research suggests that dulse protein hydrolysates inhibit the activity of angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE). However, these effects have not been demonstrated in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Potassium-Sparing Diuretics

Theoretically, dulse might increase the risk of hyperkalemia when taken with potassium-sparing diuretics.
Dulse is rich in potassium, and potassium-sparing diuretics can increase potassium levels in the blood. This interaction has not been shown in humans.

Dulse Seaweed Chocolate Flavor by TerraVita: Common Questions

Does Dulse Seaweed Chocolate Flavor by TerraVita interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Dulse Seaweed Chocolate Flavor has a known interaction with 85 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Dulse Seaweed Chocolate Flavor contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Can I take this if I'm on thyroid medication?
Not without checking first. Dulse is high in iodine, which can theoretically change how your thyroid medication works. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before starting—they'll know your specific thyroid drug and can advise you.
What's a glycerite, and is it different from a powder or pill?
A glycerite is an extract suspended in glycerin (a sweet liquid). It absorbs differently than a powder or pill might, but the active ingredient—dulse—and its iodine and potassium content remain the same.
Is this a good source of iodine?
Dulse is naturally rich in iodine, but because seaweed iodine levels vary wildly depending on where it's grown, this supplement's exact iodine dose is unpredictable. If you need iodine supplementation, a standardized tablet with a set dose is usually more reliable—ask your doctor.
Can I take this while pregnant or breastfeeding?
The safety data isn't solid enough to know either way. Excess iodine can pass into breast milk, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist if you're pregnant or nursing—they can help you decide whether this is right for you.
Does this work for high cholesterol?
The research we have is insufficient to say whether dulse actually lowers cholesterol. If that's why you're interested, ask your doctor about what evidence supports different options.
