Seaweed & Algae
A seaweed or algae cell to be seen as a mini (micro) chemical manufacturing plant, be able to produce and contain an amazing wealth of chemical components, more than 60 different sometimes highly complex and active marine substances are discovered. The only link we know of able to realizing the organic substance synthesis from mineral elements. The major minerals are instrumental in all kinds of life-sustaining activities in your body. Most enzymatic functions depend on minute amounts of these bio-available trace minerals.
Additionally, negatively charged minerals can help increase the transport and bio availability of other food nutrients and supplements as well.
In addition Food storage of starch and oil (bio-energy) and finally the poly-saccharide being part of the Cell wall structure or fiber. Used in food structuring, cosmetics, health care but have also many industrial applications. Most important and best known are; Alginates, Cyclodextrins, Glycosaminoglycans, Inulins, Pullulans, Carrageenans, heparins, Konjacs, Dextrans, Haaluronates, Locust, Tragacanth, Chitins & Chitosans, beta-Glucans, Guarans, Pectins and Xanthan. Polysaccharides possess reasonable physical properties, can be modified and changed at room & body temperature and the changes reversed using ionic, electrolytic or chemically, enzymes and bacteria. Their structure allows them to become water soluble or changing to not. Chemical reactions taking place at low (body) temperature of paramount importance.
