Health benefits of seaweed
MODERN SCIENCE CONFIRMS SEAWEED AS ONE OF NATURE’S ALLROUND PHARMACEUTICAL MIRACLES THAT CAN ACCOMPLISH EVERYTHING FROM WARDING OFF AND TREATING SEVERAL TYPES OF CANCER, LOWERING CHOLESTEROL AND BLOOD PRESSURE, THINNING THE BLOOD,PREVENTING ULCERS, KILLING BACTERIA, EVEN CURING CONSTIPATION – Jean Carper – The Food Pharmacy
For the majority of people seaweed conjures up an image of a smelly, green or brown, unpalatable tough weed washed up on a shoreline somewhere. Alternatively, it could be that dried stuff you get in sushi bars or Japanese and Chinese restaurants. Very few people realise the health benefits of seaweed and just how versatile seaweed, (Nature's own multivitamin), really is.
Described as “
perfectly balanced natural food” certain seaweeds, like certain land plants have been used for centuries by different cultures for medicinal and nutritional purposes, fertilisers and even to awaken sexual desire. It’s not just the Japanese who have appreciated the health benefits from daily consumption of seaweed either as there are reports of people living high in the Andes consuming it on a regular basis. Both cultures are renowned for their hardiness but just why is this natural vitamin supplement so good for us? The answer is the ocean. For millions of years minerals and nutrients have been draining from the land into the sea and it is more or less a constant chemical medium. The ocean contains the same minerals and trace elements as human blood and these are integrated into the living tissue of seaweed. As the seaweed is organic (easily broken down) and the natural vitamins, foundation minerals and vital nutrients are in such an assimilable form, this wonderful sea vegetable is of huge nutritional benefit and really is a natural whole food vitamin supplement. For example, it has been estimated that certain seaweeds are up to 30 times higher in minerals than land food, which is affected by depleted nutrient levels in our soils.
In this respect Seagreens® varieties of wrack seaweed can be regarded as the ultimate multi-nutritional supplement, but these natural health foods are more than this. They naturally contain all the nutrients missing from land foods and conventional vitamin and mineral supplements, plus some very beneficial, special nutrients of their own. They bring an ideal nutritional balance to the daily diet.
Many people are understandably concerned about consuming produce from the oceans these days because of media reports of pollution, but this issue is widely misunderstood. Generally the ocean is a far less polluted growing medium than land soil especially farm soil because of the widespread use of pesticides, insecticides and fertilisers as well as airborne industrial pollutants.
The best seaweeds are found in the coldest areas, and the contents of Seagreens® natural health products grow in icy, clean waters among remote conservation islands off the Lapland coat of Norway where the ocean is continually monitored for pollutants. They are processed on
the day of harvesting ensuring freshness and complete nutritional value. This area is a beautiful natural wilderness with a tiny population some 50 miles from the mainland.
Seagreens® wrack seaweeds are freshly harvested in the wild and have an outstanding balance of virtually all the known essential nutrients. These natural wholefood supplements are quite distinct from others like common kelp and fresh-water algae like spirulina, chlorella and blue-green, often confused with true sea vegetables. These are fresh-water algae more akin to land vegetation. 
Seagreens® natural health products contain a range of powerful polysaccharides, glyconutrients unique to seaweeds, which bind pollutants and aid detoxification of heavy metals like mercury and strontium via excretion by the body in the form of insoluble salts. The arctic wrack seaweed used in Seagreens® natural health products is unique and consumers cannot find this in any other wholefood supplement. When you buy Seagreens® natural health products you can be assured of the strength and integrity of the brand. Formulated nutritional supplements cannot match the breadth or natural balance of Seagreens® seaweed supplement.
Some seaweeds, particularly certain varieties of wrack have been the subject of scientific study over many years in connection with specific medical conditions where they have been found not only to have therapeutic value, but are a powerful nutritional component in a wide range of treatments. Seagreens® natural health products are the outstanding example of these wrack seaweeds, used whole in all Seagreens®
products with nothing added or extracted. They provide a complete and widely needed nutritional foundation for the daily diet.

causes in many medical conditions as it provides optimum nutrition and
