Sargassum pallidum
Seaweed used in TCM to transform phlegm, resolve nodules, and treat goiter and lymphadenopathy.
Hai Zao (Sargassum pallidum) is a brown seaweed used in Traditional Chinese Medicine to transform phlegm, resolve nodules, and treat goiter and lymphadenopathy. Its primary active compounds include fucoidan, phlorotannins, iodine, and alginate, which contribute to anti-tumor, immunostimulant, and anti-inflammatory effects. Modern research supports its use in thyroid support and as an adjunct in cancer therapy, though evidence remains limited.
Fucoidan exerts anti-tumor effects via induction of apoptosis through caspase-3 activation and inhibition of NF-κB signaling, while also modulating immune response by enhancing natural killer cell activity and macrophage phagocytosis. Phlorotannins act as potent antioxidants and anti-inflammatory agents by scavenging reactive oxygen species and inhibiting COX-2 and iNOS expression. The high iodine content in Sargassum pallidum supports thyroid hormone synthesis by providing substrate for thyroperoxidase, but excessive iodine can inhibit thyroid function via the Wolff-Chaikoff effect. Alginate contributes to heavy metal chelation and may reduce absorption of dietary toxins.
