A Shellfish Option for Those with Iodine Allergies

Is NaturalShrimp a safe alternative to those with an iodine allergy? Shellfish are a popular seafood enjoyed by many around the world, but for those who experience allergic relations to iodine, consuming shellfish could cause nausea, vomiting, itching, flushing and hives.1 In this blog, we will explore the connection between shellfish and iodine. Additionally, we will provide information on the safety and tase of shrimp grown by NaturalShrimp using negative oxidation reeducation potential (ORP) and anti-oxidation treatments.

First, let’s understand what an iodine allergy is and how it relates to shellfish. Iodine is an essential mineral found in many foods, including seafood like shrimp, crab, and lobster. It is also used in medical procedures, such as X-rays and CT scans. While an allergy to iodine is technically not possible, some people may have an allergic reaction to the iodine in contrast agents used in medical procedures. An iodine allergy is a type of adverse reaction that occurs when the immune system identifies iodine as a harmful substance and initiates an immune response to defend against it. In some cases, people with shellfish allergies may also have an allergic reaction to iodine. This is because the protein in shellfish is similar in structure to the proteins found in iodine, which can trigger an immune response in some individuals.

Now, let’s talk about NaturalShrimp and how their shrimp are a safe option for those with iodine allergies. NaturalShrimp is a Texas-based aquaculture company that grows shrimp in an indoor, closed-system environment. Unlike traditional shrimp farms that use ocean water, NaturalShrimp’s system uses a patented technology that purifies and recirculates the water, eliminating the need for antibiotics, pesticides, and other harmful chemicals.

Its innovative “Vibrio Suppression Technology”, launched in 2014, utilizes Electrocoagulation (EC) technology as part of the filtration loop to treat wastewater by passing an electric current through it causing the formation of small, charged particles known as flocs. These flocs can then be easily removed from the water through sedimentation or filtration, effectively removing pollutants and other dangerous contaminants.

One of the benefits of NaturalShrimp’s indoor system is that their shrimp do not contain iodine. This is because the shrimp are not exposed to seawater or other sources of iodine. Instead, they are raised in a controlled environment that allows for optimal growth and nutrition without the risk of iodine contamination. In addition to being iodine-free, NaturalShrimp’s shrimp are also free from other common allergens, such as gluten, soy, and dairy. This makes them a safe and delicious option for those with food allergies or sensitivities.

NaturalShrimp’s commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility is also worth noting. By using a closed-system approach, they are able to reduce the environmental impact of shrimp farming by minimizing the use of resources like water and energy. Additionally, their shrimp are grown without the use of antibiotics, which helps to address the growing problem of antibiotic resistance in the food industry.

In conclusion, iodine intake can pose a significant health risk to some individuals. Fortunately, NaturalShrimp has developed an innovative system for growing shrimp in enclosed, salt-water environments using patented technology. Their approach produces resh, naturally grown shrimp that are free from antibiotics and toxic chemicals. If you would like to learn more or place an order for gourmet-grade shrimp, CLICK HERE.

I am one of the few lucky recipients that received some of the most beautiful shrimp during a shipping trial…. and when I say lucky and beautiful, I am not exaggerating.The shrimp arrived in a sealed Styrofoam container and the temperature was 37 degrees. I then went to the store and purchased some regular shrimp. Sadly, the guy working the counter did not know where the shrimp originated from. After cleaning both the store bought shrimp and the Natural Shrimp I set about cooking and did so with a skillet and the grill…. The taste of Natural Shrimp was outstanding when compared to the store bought shrimp the taste comparison was as different as night and day. The texture and taste was shrimply outstanding… The store bought shrimp was gritty and had little flavor versus NaturalShrimp that was tasty and buttery smooth. After eating Natural Shrimps product, I will never eat store bought shrimp again and gladly rate this a 5 star product.

I live on the Gulf Coast and regularly purchase fresh caught wild shrimp right off of the shrimp boat and I have had the pleasure of eating Natural Shrimp numerous times. There is no comparison in the quality. Natural Shrimp is gourmet quality and I highly recommend it.

I have had the pleasure of tasting the Natural Shrimp on 3 separate occasions. I normally buy my shrimp from a small shop located in San Leon, Texas on the Gulf Coast right on the water that gets their shrimp ” Right off the boat”. I like that since I know they are American caught shrimp, and the boats are tied up next to the store. I can honestly say that the Natural Shrimp is BY FAR taster and has NO odor than the shrimp I normally buy from the store. They have a sweet and buttery taste. As a big plus there is no need to de-vein the shrimp also. There is NO visible vein to remove…..I can honestly rate these tasty shrimp as a HUGE 5 STAR.

My husband and I drove 12 hours to purchase shrimp from Natural Shrimp. We were not disappointed in our purchase. The shrimp was extremely clean, no odor and had a good flavor. We’re looking forward to purchasing more in the near future. 5 stars!
