Nature offers us a truly vast array of remedies, both on land… and in water.
Seaweed holds a place of honor in Japanese cuisine, but it is also well known in the West for the countless health benefits it provides: it is rich in minerals, protein, antioxidants, and vitamins—and that’s not all!
Today we're going to talk about three natural supplements made from seaweed.
Here are the 3 algae-based supplements you should know about
SPIRULINA ALGAE
Spirulina is a blue-green freshwater microalga whose name derives from its characteristic spiral shape.
It was already known as a food source by pre-Columbian civilizations and the ancient Romans. It is rich in proteins, essential amino acids, and lipids that provide various benefits; in particular, a Spirulina-based supplement is useful for:
– strengthen the immune system;
– have more energy;
– add protein to your diet;
– protect against free radicals.
KLAMATH ALGAE
Klamath algae gets its name from the lake in Oregon (USA) where it grows naturally, and, like spirulina, it is a blue-green algae. It contains as many as 20 amino acids and is rich in minerals, trace elements, and vitamins. In particular, Klamath algae supplements are useful for:
– strengthen the immune system
– detoxify the body
– promote a balanced mood
FUCUS ALGAE
– stimulate the synthesis of thyroid hormones*
