HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Red Dulse Seaweed Leaf Strawberry 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
This product contains one active ingredient: red dulse seaweed leaf glycerite liquid extract. Dulse is a type of edible seaweed that supplies iodine and potassium, among other minerals.
The liquid also includes glycerin and strawberry flavoring as inactive ingredients.
Does it work?
Couldn't assess
The evidence for red dulse's effectiveness isn't established in our data. We hold insufficient reliable evidence to rate it for lowering cholesterol or addressing iodine deficiency.
How safe is it?
Some data gaps
Dulse is generally well tolerated as a food in normal amounts. However, concentrated supplements like this one carry caution flags because they can deliver unpredictably high levels of iodine and potassium—levels beyond what everyday eating would provide.
During pregnancy and breastfeeding, data is limited. Excess iodine from supplements can pass into breast milk, so supplement doses are best avoided during nursing.
If you're pregnant or nursing, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before adding this product. No adverse effects are documented in our data for this ingredient.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Before taking this product, double-check with your pharmacist if you take thyroid hormone replacement, antithyroid drugs, or amiodarone (a heart rhythm medication) — all carry Moderate interaction risk with the iodine in dulse. Also flag digoxin (a heart medication), potassium-sparing diuretics, ACE inhibitors, or angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) if you're on any, since dulse's potassium content poses a theoretical Minor risk of raising blood potassium too high with these drugs.
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.
If you eat dulse as a food, you're fine. But this concentrated supplement should only be considered if your doctor or pharmacist has cleared it with your current medications—especially if you take thyroid drugs, heart medications, or blood pressure drugs.
Check your meds first.

Red Dulse Seaweed Leaf Strawberry Flavor by TerraVita Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Red Dulse Seaweed Leaf Strawberry Flavor by TerraVita contains one active ingredient—red dulse seaweed extract—that interacts with several medication types.
The most serious concerns involve thyroid medications. Dulse is rich in iodine, and in high doses iodine can trigger either overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism) or underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism) depending on your history, potentially altering how thyroid hormone replacement or antithyroid drugs work.
The same iodine content poses a theoretical risk if you take amiodarone (a heart rhythm medication that itself contains high iodine), as combined use might push iodine levels too high.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Dulse is also rich in potassium. Theoretically, it could raise blood potassium (hyperkalemia) when combined with digoxin (a heart medication), potassium-sparing water pills (diuretics), ACE inhibitors, or angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs)—all of which affect how your body handles potassium.
These are theoretical risks based on dulse's composition; most haven't been proven in humans.
Altogether, these interactions span 85 individual medications. Before you start this product, run your exact medications through the checker on this page, especially if you take any heart or thyroid drugs, blood pressure medications, or diuretics.

For each ingredient in Red Dulse Seaweed Leaf Strawberry Flavor with known interactions, here are the types of medications it can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.
Red Dulse Seaweed Leaf Glycerite Liquid Extract
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
