Interest in the compound Fucoxanthin has sky rocketed thanks to Dr. Oz. This leads me to want to share a bit more about this amazing substance. Fucoxanthin is a seaweed compound and we are big proponents of consuming seaweed, a natural wild vegetable from the ocean. One reason we like wild foods is because they offer a richer and wider nutritional content than farmed foods.

Gigartina One™ is pure Red Marine Algae, species of gigartina papaillata. This product is not a blend and contains no fillers, it is pure high grade red marine algae. Being a sea vegetable Red Marine Algae is rich in a variety of beneficial nutrients including vitamins A and B12, minerals such as potassium, magnesium, iron and calcium. Gigartina One is also abundant in trace minerals, fatty acids and essential amino acids as well as being a good source of iodine, which may benefit certain thyroid disorders. And it is also a source of sulfated polysacchrides. Our Red Marine Algae is wild harvested in the Tasmanian Sea (off the coast New Zealand) and is bottled in Oregon, USA by Gigartina One.
