How Do Seagreens® Help Me?
The Seagreens® 100% seaweed product range is easy to use in the daily diet, for culinary appeal, preventive health, therapeutic use, for body care and for animals.
We live in the chemical age at a time of nutrient depletion in modern foods, life is moving faster, stress levels are higher, environmental pollution abounds.
Seagreens® fill those nutrient gaps in your diet
Modern diets often become over-refined and lack adequate nutrition and variety. Even people and families who place strong emphasis on preparing home cooked meals from fresh, and even organic ingredients can struggle to obtain adequate nutrients.
By taking Seagreens® daily you ensure your body is receiving a comprehensive range of essential nutrients, both from the Seagreens® itself and from other foods eaten. Seagreens® aids your digestion by providing the trace elements necessary to help your body absorb more nutrients from your food.
Seagreens® gently detoxifying effect helps your body rid itself of stored and newly acquired toxins
Seagreens® have a gently detoxifying effect, slowly, day by day, helping your body rid itself of stored and newly acquired toxins. Due to the inevitable exposure, in this chemical age, to environmental, both airborne and product based pollutants as well as chemical food additives, we all need give our body extra help to expel those toxins.
Seagreens® help you maintain optimum health
Providing your body with an optimum nutritional intake helps the immune system flourish, preventing illness and ensuring a healthy state of energy and vitality.
Seagreens® equips your body to better tackle existing health conditions
By ensuring adequate nutritional intake, your body is also better equipped to tackle any existing health conditions. Seaweed has well-researched and scientifically proven benefits for many specific health conditions.
Information on Seagreens® and Health Conditions
Why is Seaweed so good?
-
The nutritional value of our food is in steep decline. The land has been losing its nutrients for many years, accelerated by intensive farming.
-
Seaweed re-absorbs all the nutrients leached from the land and we can thus return them to the soil, plants, and directly to animal and human foods.
-
Seaweed contains Nature’s broadest and most balanced range of nutrients. As well as providing a broad range of nutrients to the body, the trace elements present aid the absorption of nutrients from other foods eaten.
-
Seaweeds remarkable nutritional profile and bio-availability promotes optimum health and provides the body with the nutritional foundation to help it overcome common health conditions.
Assimilating Nutrients from the Food We Eat
In order to metabolise any single nutrient (for example a protein or a carbohydrate), many other nutrients (for example enzymes, co-enzymes, trace elements) are required for what is a highly complex process.
In the metabolism of a single meal, this picture can be hugely complex, and although the body can manufacture many of the nutrients it needs, this ‘manufacturing’ also must draw on a vast array of nutrition.
Many of the nutrients required can be obtained only from the diet, and many are missing. Many are missing from the soil that all land food is grown in, and very few foods have anything other than a narrow selection of nutrients, which is why a little of many different foods is better than a single food, for example, rice, which results in malnutrition, however much is available.
By ensuring the daily presence of all the nutrients - especially the rarer micronutrients - Seagreens® provides an ideal ‘foundation’ for effective metabolism at the level of the gut.
Seaweed’s Synergistic Effect
In addition to this comprehensive balance of nutrients - the outstanding nutritional profile of Seagreens® - the ‘synergistic’ effect has to do with the fact that many food nutrients will only ‘release’ their full potency and value to the body in the presence of other specific nutrients without which they will pass from the body partially or wholly unused.
For example, to make use of protein, requires (among many other nutrients) vitamin B6. But B6 itself requires (among others) vitamin B2 and magnesium. But then again, too little folic acid would hinder our absorption of thiamine (vitamin B1), which would impair our ability to absorb carbohydrate.
All of these are micronutrients, and most must be obtained from the diet. The net effect in many cases, is that Seagreens® enables the body to obtain from the other food being eaten, more of the very nutrients which themselves may only be present in tiny amounts in the seaweed.
A research example from horticulture may make the point more simply: although the seaweed is relatively low in phosphorus, in trials it enabled plants to absorb greater amounts of phosphorus from the soil - precisely because other nutrients in the seaweed allow the plant to do so.
The Body’s Uptake and Utilisation of Nutrients
In the human body, this is why deficiencies of a known nutrient - for example iron or iodine - are sometimes remedied not by administering that nutrient alone, but by ensuring the presence of other nutrients which the body needs to metabolise the ‘deficient’ nutrient which is actually already present in the diet.
Metabolism includes not only the body’s uptake, but actual utilisation of nutrients and this is influenced by the health of the bacteria in the gut and the health of the gut wall. Here the actual transition of nutrients into the lymph and via the circulatory system to the cells of the body, takes place.
Digestion
Seagreens®’ special polysaccharides are known to assist the production of beneficial intestinal bacteria and the condition of the gut wall.
There is also good scientific evidence for Seagreens®’ immune enhancing, anti-viral and anti-microbial properties. Hence this type of seaweed is considered to have “exceptional value” in the natural treatment of Candida overgrowth (Candidiasis) in the intestine.
There are also numerous mechanisms, well supported by scientific research, by which Seagreens® improves circulation and the condition of the blood, in its turn assisting the distribution and uptake of nutrients by the cells - not least because the seaweed provides an almost ideal balance of all the mineral salts in much the same proportions as the body tries to maintain in its own plasma.
