This Sea Vegetable Blend contains a mix of four Brown seaweed species and two Red seaweed species, providing a broadspectrum nutritional and therapeutic supplement. Sea vegetables are without doubt the best natural food source of minerals, electrolytes and trace elements. Eating sea vegetables is especially important today because modern chemical farming, depleted soils and processed foods have resulted in widespread mineral-deficiency-caused chronic diseases and health conditions.

For example, the high levels of potassium, calcium, magnesium and other minerals in most seaweeds often helps with blood sugar
problems, muscle spasms, osteoporosis, and nervous system disorders such as hyperactivity, ADD, depression and insomnia. Because of their high iodine content, seaweeds have been used worldwide to prevent and treat underactive thyroid conditions, slow metabolism and obesity.

Sea vegetables are also an abundant source of all the known vitamins, lignans and antioxidants and contain large amounts of therapeutic polysaccharides (algin, fucoidan, laminaran, carrageenans, agar, porphyran etc.), which also have many amazing beneficial health effects.

Modern research suggests that eating sea vegetables regularly can promote a healthy immune system, facilitate the removal of heavy
metals, radioactive elements, PCB's and dioxins from our bodies, inhibit viruses, cancers and metastases, prevent strokes, and reduce chronic inflammation, high blood pressure, high cholesterol levels and arteriosclerosis. In fact, the Japanese people’s remarkable longevity and extremely low incidence of thyroid disease, breast cancer and prostate cancer may largely be due to the fact that they have the world’s highest per capita seaweed consumption.

The sea vegetables in this blend are completely natural wild foods, harvested from the wild and rugged Pacific Ocean coastlines of southern Oregon and northern California by ecologically responsible harvesters; each plant is trimmed by hand, in a way that allows it to continue to grow and reproduce. A maximum of 25% of any one species is harvested from an area per year. They return to the same beautiful rocky intertidal zone locations year after year, and have yet to see any negative impact from their harvesting. After harvesting, they promptly air-dry the sea vegetables at low temperatures, which preserves maximum flavor, nutrition and bioactivity.
