1) Yes, it should naturally contain some iodine. That will range by time of year and where it was harvested. The typical levels are 220-650 mg/kg. That would be between 55mcg and 162mcg per capsule of ours. I can talk to

Yes, the graphics should be fixed now, though. The lady we have working at our facility in Korea forgot to put the c in the spec sheet, and my graphics team took it from her spec sheet.

Facial hair is the most noticeable increase in growth when I tested it. The hair on my head also grew, but the facial hair growth was what really stood out.

It's due to the magma seawater from the volcanic rock off the coast of Jeju island. Also, there are some cool physical reasons. The tidal fluctuations at Jeju are 4-6m per day, and the water has higher UV-B exposure, alo

We based the dose of EFSA guidelines. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7010033/ It's not an extract because we were able to get high levels of dieckol natively by harvesting it from specific parts of Jeju islan

Negative. It is not real Ecklonia cava on there. It failed all our HPTLC analysis, and we even sent to Korea for DNA testing. The fact that they have eckloniacava.com is a shame. I registered realeckloniacava.com, though

That's tough, because this one has so many mechanisms. Hair growth is the most noticeable effect, specifically facial hair. However, there are a lot of benefits, so it is hard to pick one.

I did not notice any changes in that department while taking it, and I trialed significantly higher doses during my beta testing.

It should not cause serotonin syndrome. That's really hard to actually cause. It does increase serotonin, though. It does it through MAO-A and through an interesting effect of increasing Lactobacillaceae probiotics in th

I believe laser hair removal destroys the follicle, so it should not come back.

LOL, probably not going to help there. I am noticing more gray hairs coming through the past year. Ecklonia cava didn't change that.

We may or may not be putting it into an upcoming thermogenic stack... which may or may not be paired with a myostatin inhibiting recomp stack!

Comment · Fri, April 4, 2025 · 11 pts

Yeah, not sure what the exact mechanism is, but I noticed it a lot when I was trialing. It's more annoying for me, because that just means I need to shave more. It was not something I was personally looking to increase.

The name of the product submitted to the EFSA was "Ecklonia cava phlorotannins." So when they approved it, they specifically referenced the full name in the submission. They were not referencing the amount of actual phlo

A similar seaweed with dieckol was tested in humans, and it raised testosterone. https://www.scirp.org/journal/paperinformation?paperid=72566 It was combined with Tribulus, though. So it was not in isolation. This stu

It's also possible that it was potentiating my Tongkat I was taking. I take Tongkat every day, so that's always a factor in my testing. But it was for sure correlated with my trials of Ecklonia cava, because it would hap

Ecklonia cava from Jeju island in Korea has been shown to contain higher levels of fucoidan (11.2%). That's where ours is from. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5205593/ However, we have not directly tested it

Sounds good! See if you can do blood testing before you start, then do another test 4-5 weeks in.

Have you tried our Tauromag and Ultra Concentrated Reishi yet? Those two together are an amazing sleep combo. Taking our Ecklonia cava with them could absolutely help as well, but I always tell people to try the Tauromag

Yep, and we are going to be releasing some probiotics soon! I just didn't want to get into probiotics till I was sure we could do it right.

I know. It's my own personal hell. We look like idiots! It's not for lack of SOPs and process checks, either. I think some people just think SOPs are paperwork for paperwork's sake, not put in place for a real reason...

They are referring to seapolynol, which we got a sample of and tested in our lab. They don't sell it outside Korea anymore, but we set up a facility in Korea to do all this stuff. It had around 4% dieckol, where ours is

Sure, but that's no excuse! That's like a builder of a skyscraper using fake steel, and then having his building fall down. "But I was duped by my steel supplier!" Uhh, yeah... so what? It's your responsibility to ensure

That's correct. If I take other things that lower estrogen, I get ligament and joint pain. I don't with Tongkat on its own, but it makes me more likely when combined with other things that affect E2. The new stack tries

That looks like it might contain some idodine, but much lower amounts. It's probably less than 5mcg per dose.

The issue is that it is not standardized to it, so it will range batch-to-batch. When you list something on the label, you have to hold it to those levels fairly closely. I think testing it to know a baseline level is a

Absolutely! I take pregnenolone and DHEA daily with my Tongkat and Cistanche. It's why we put it in Cistamax. We are thinking of removing DHEA, though. Multiple countries have an issue with it, so it might be best to kee
