Rich in Nutrients: Ascophyllum nodosum is a rich source of vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients essential for health. It contains vitamins A, C, E, and K, as well as various B vitamins. It is also high in minerals like iodine, calcium, magnesium, potassium, and iron. These nutrients play crucial roles in supporting overall health and wellbeing.
Iodine Content: Ascophyllum nodosum is particularly known for its high iodine content. Iodine is an essential mineral required for the production of thyroid hormones, which regulate metabolism, growth, and development. Adequate iodine intake is necessary for maintaining thyroid function and preventing thyroid disorders such as hypothyroidism and goiter. However, excessive iodine intake can also lead to thyroid dysfunction, so it's essential to consume seaweed in moderation.
Antioxidant Properties: Like other seaweeds, Ascophyllum nodosum contains various antioxidants, including polyphenols, flavonoids, and carotenoids. These antioxidants help neutralize harmful free radicals in the body, reducing oxidative stress and inflammation. They may also protect against chronic diseases such as heart disease, cancer, and neurodegenerative disorders.
Digestive Health: Ascophyllum nodosum contains soluble and insoluble fiber, which can promote digestive health by supporting regular bowel movements, preventing constipation, and promoting the growth of beneficial gut bacteria. Fiber also helps regulate blood sugar levels and may lower the risk of colon cancer.
Weight Management: The fiber content in Ascophyllum nodosum may also aid in weight management by promoting feelings of fullness and reducing calorie intake. Including seaweed in a balanced diet may help support healthy weight loss or weight maintenance goals.
Bone Health: Ascophyllum nodosum is a good source of calcium, magnesium, and other minerals essential for bone health. Consuming seaweed regularly may help strengthen bones, prevent osteoporosis, and reduce the risk of fractures, especially in postmenopausal women who are at higher risk of bone loss.
Anti-inflammatory Effects: Some studies suggest that compounds found in Ascophyllum nodosum may possess anti-inflammatory properties, which can help alleviate inflammation in the body. Chronic inflammation is associated with various health conditions, including arthritis, cardiovascular disease, and autoimmune disorders.
Skin Health: Seaweed extracts are commonly used in skincare products due to their hydrating, soothing, and antioxidant properties. Ascophyllum nodosum extracts may help nourish and protect the skin, reduce inflammation, and promote collagen production, leading to healthier, more youthful-looking skin.

We extend modifiers to include items that changes the parent and child taxa. I.e. for a species, that would be the genus that is belongs to and the strains in the species.
A higher number indicates impact on more bacteria associated with the condition and confidence on the impact.
We have X bacteria high and Y low reported. We find that the modifier reduces some and increases other of these two groups. We just tally: X|reduces + Y|Increase = Positive X|increases + Y|decrease = Negative.
Benefit Ratio:
Numbers above 0 have increasing positive effect.
Numbers below 0 have increasing negative effect.
