Which seaweed species have pharmaceutical properties? Without any doubt, the answer is: all. As an example, carrageenan, agar and alginic acid all exhibit hypocholesterolemic activity, especially the first one is an excellent agent. At least one of these phycolcolloids or some of their close relatives is present i all red and brown algae and also green algae show a significant effect on lowering plasma cholesterol level. Considering the fact that, in the well-fed part of the world, more people will die from circulatory disturbance than from any other disease group, there are good reasons for a substantial increase in pharmaceutical research on seaweed substances, and for increased fabrication of ant-atherosclerotics drugs. This reason alone, the lowering effect on blood cholesterol level, is sufficient for an increase in human consumption of seaweed.

Hej jag kallas för Clas, Classe, ClasGöran eller CG och har forskat på havsalger sedan 1974. Jag har dykt i havet och plockat upp havsalger för att kunna använda dem som functional food, kostillskott och fodertillskott. Havsalger eller seaweed eller kelp som de också kallas ger dig ett starkt tillskott av de nyttiga ämnen du behöver, samtidigt som du får ett skydd mot onyttiga ämnen. Visa fler inlägg
