HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Red Marine Algae 375 mg by Solaray

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.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

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 (375 mg per capsule). Dulse is a red marine algae that's naturally high in potassium and iodine.

The capsule also holds several inactive ingredients — cellulose, silica, magnesium stearate, and rice extract blend — which help hold the supplement together and make it easier to swallow.

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 on high cholesterol and iodine deficiency is insufficient to rate. The data we hold doesn't establish that this supplement works for those purposes.

If you're considering it for one of those reasons, talk with your pharmacist about what the research actually shows and whether it's the right choice for you.

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 seaweed is generally well tolerated as a food. However, this supplement delivers concentrated amounts of potassium and iodine — much higher than you'd get eating dulse seaweed in normal meals — so caution is needed.

The iodine levels in supplements can be unpredictable, and safety data in humans is limited. If you're breastfeeding, avoid supplement doses of dulse, since excess iodine can pass into breast milk; talk with your doctor for guidance.

No adverse effects have been documented in our data.

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.

Before you start, check with your pharmacist if you take digoxin, any thyroid medication, antithyroid drugs, amiodarone, ACE inhibitors, ARBs, or potassium-sparing diuretics. These are the drug types most likely to interact with the potassium and iodine in dulse.

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 take heart medications (especially digoxin), thyroid medications, amiodarone, or blood pressure drugs that spare potassium, you should check with your pharmacist before taking this product. The risks are theoretical but documented.

This supplement isn't clearly shown to work for the conditions it's marketed for.

Dulse Seaweed7 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.

Red Marine Algae 375 mg by Solaray: Common Questions

Does Red Marine Algae 375 mg by Solaray interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Red Marine Algae 375 mg 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?
Red Marine Algae 375 mg 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.
What exactly is in this supplement?
It's dulse seaweed — a red marine algae — at 375 mg per capsule, plus inactive ingredients like cellulose and silica that help hold the capsule together. There's only one active ingredient.
Does dulse actually work for high cholesterol?
The evidence isn't strong enough to say. We don't have reliable data showing dulse lowers cholesterol, so we can't rate it for that use.
Is this safe if I'm pregnant?
The data on file doesn't tell us either way. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking it — they can give you personalized advice based on your health.
What if I'm breastfeeding?
Avoid supplement doses of dulse while breastfeeding. The concentrated iodine in supplements can pass into breast milk. Check with your doctor before taking this product.
Can I take this with my blood pressure medication?
It depends which one. If you're on an ACE inhibitor, ARB, or potassium-sparing diuretic, there's a theoretical risk because dulse is high in potassium. Run your exact medication through the checker on this page or ask your pharmacist.
What are the side effects?
No adverse effects have been documented in the data we hold, but keep in mind that as a supplement high in potassium and iodine, it should be used cautiously — especially if you have kidney problems or thyroid disease.
