Marine algae

Recent research has shown that marine algae are extremely beneficial for humans. In the unpolluted sea environmen algae are able to absorb trace elements, minerals, salts and other nutrients. Many of the same nutrients are often lacking in people´s daily diet because of insuffient variation in our choice of food. Vegetables, fruit and meat products have these nutrients depleted by inappropriate cultivation or handling practises. Marine algae can supply the missing nutrients in our diet e.g. calcium, potassium, selenium, silicon, vitamins, anti-oxidants, omega-3 and fibres. However, this is not the only benefit. Scientists have known for a long time that alginates, which are a main component of algkick, have an amazing ability to assist the elimination of harmful heavy metals from the body. Recent health and environmental reports have raised further concern about metals such as lead, mercury and cadmium, and their effects on people. The benefits of algkick, prevents uptake of heavy metals and radioisotopes (cadmium, cobalt, lead, mercury, strontium, etc.) and also reduces levels of such substances if already accumulated, reduces excessive blood cholesterol, improves action of the heart-vascular system, stabilizes the balance of salts and microelements, increases endurance and overall psysical performance.
