Why Master Gland®?
Our organic, non-GMO kelp grows on rocky shores in the North Atlantic. It is wild-harvested at Spring tide by skilled reapers who use small paddleboats and special rakes to protect the plant and its natural habitat. Their techniques ensure sustainability as they remove portions of the kelp without damaging the core of the algae.
The Story behind Master Gland®. Ancient Greeks and Romans were known to use licorice root for health benefits. And Traditional Chinese Medicines rely on licorice for respiratory, digestive and reproductive system support. Dong quai grows best in the mountains of China, Japan and Korea. This relative of celery, carrots and parsley has been used in TCM for thousands of years specifically for PMS and sexual energy. Dong quai has also been popular in Ayurveda. According to records, the Chinese have been eating kelp for more than 2,000 years! Today, the Japanese use 20+ different kelp species in their cooking, some of which they can trace back 1,400 years. Master Gland features oarweed and knotted wrack. Oarweed grows up to 7 feet long. Knotted wrack has small strap-like fronds and egg-shaped air bladders that help it float. Chemist Roger J. Williams discovered pantothenic acid in 1931 while studying the B vitamin family.
