Hizikia Fusiforme Extract supplementation for targeted health support.
Hijiki accumulates inorganic arsenic specifically. Other seaweeds mostly contain organic arsenic (arsenosugars) which is less toxic. Hijiki is uniquely problematic.
One serving is unlikely to cause problems. Regular consumption is the concern. But why take the risk when other seaweeds exist?
Japanese traditionally ate hijiki in small amounts mixed with other foods. But modern testing revealed the arsenic issue, leading to reduced consumption there too.

Nori, wakame, kombu, dulse, and most other seaweeds have much lower inorganic arsenic. They provide similar mineral and fucoidan benefits.
