Marine Nutrient Complex
Sea vegetables are often regarded as superfoods due to an exceptionally broad spectrum of nutrients. Due to being rich in a wide array of minerals, vitamins, amino acids, omega-3 fatty acids, carotenoids and other antioxidants, many algae were a source of food for our ancestors. Nowadays we understand better how various bioactive compounds in algae, phytoplankton and other marine plants can benefit our health. Trace minerals in algae, in particular iodine present in Irish moss and bladderwrack and also zinc and selenium, are critical for optimal function of the thyroid gland which controls the body’s metabolism, function of the heart, brain, digestive system, and muscles and bones. The vitamins, amino acids, omega-3 fatty acids, and antioxidants in these algae are beneficial in reducing the risk of stroke and heart disease as well as improving mental clarity and mood by acting as “food for the brain”. They can “recharge” our cells, enhancing the body’s energy and vitality. Key Synergy
