Welcome to "Buy Seaweed Online,"
Seaweed producer and Wholesale Outlet Store.
Seaweed as functional food ingredient:
potential to reduce the incidence of chronic diseases.
The
nutritional and physiological properties of edible seaweeds.
From
a nutritional point of view, seaweeds are low-calorie type foods, with a high
concentration of minerals (Mg, Ca, P, K and I), vitamins, proteins and
indigestible carbohydrates, low content in lipids.
The
quality of protein and lipid in seaweeds is good compared with other diet
vegetables because of their high content
in essential amino acids and relative high levels of unsaturated
fatty acids.
High
in dietary fiber content. Between 30%
to 70% of dry weight, consist of soluble polysaccharides (range from 15% to
50%).
Because
the dietary fiber differ chemically
and physicochemical differ from that as
found in land plants and subsequently induce different physiological effects.
Based
on referenced data, there are indications that algal dietary fiber may show
important functional activities, such as antioxidant, anti-mutagenic and
anticoagulant effect, ant tumor activity, and an important role in the
modification of lipid metabolism in human body.
Seaweeds
has a high nutritional value, therefore an increase in their consumption,
can/would elevate the foods offer to the population.
However,
as the properties of different algae or seaweed are highly dependent on their individual
composition, avery species best seen as tiny production unit producing a cocktail of
substances of fixed properties, the different species are not interchangeable in this respect and may lead to misunderstanding
and therefore scientifically seen as inappropriate. In line with the old traditions we use about 50-60% of the functional seaweed and blend it with others to stay in line.
In addition to the single type of seaweeds you
can opt for a mixture or blend of different seaweeds. Old Irish Traditions has it that you should combine the use of
land based plants with products of the sea. They were well aware that we are water born and arose from the sea and our internal bodies still reflect this. The components of the major edible
algae or seaweeds can affect physiochemical properties (e.g., hydration, water
and oil-holding capacity, ferment ability, binding capacity, etc.) and
therefore of nutritional importance. The effects of marine alga/seaweed consumption
on growth and body weight, mineral availability, lipid metabolism, blood
pressure, and antioxidant properties is now well documented.

Tired, try our seaweed bath.If you fancy a little pampering you can’t do much better than a nice,
relaxing seaweed bath. While many of us
think of bathing as a purely functional activity, soaking in the tub with
seaweed, has actually many benefits outside of getting you clean. Just taking
time out to soak in a hot seaweed bath has proven to have many psychological and health benefits
for a start, helping to induce relaxation and calm the mind, also help
stimulate circulation and relax sore or tired muscles. |

Promotion and information.
Our site promotes the uses of seaweed or Algae. Explains the value and importance of natural seaweed products in a healthy diet.
Research has shown
that cutting calorie intake on one hand, while maintaining vitamins, minerals
and trace elements, and other essential nutrients can prolong life by up to 40
percent.
Vitality in addition seen as very important in healthy ageing. | |

In Japan, where sea vegetables make up 10% of the diet, the incidence of many cancers and of obesity is low - statistically the lowest in the developed world. Such illnesses, less viral/active due to compensation/detox of the seaweed in their diet, and as present in our environment.
Again both clinical research and epidemiological studies, which compare the rates of diseases in populations with different dietary habits, point to Japan low rate of hart failure, obesity, breast cancer and healthy ageing. That changes in modern population diet have resulted in rapidly changing disease and mortality profiles and reflected in general health/problems. Basically it means the potency of our modern food supply is not able to sustain optimum health. As part of a healthy lifestyle, seaweed is needed as a functional food, helping towards the prevention of ill-health or contributing to the reduction of disease risk factors. But not to be seen as disease cures.
Dietary patterns,
'Healthy', characterized by high intake of
green and yellow vegetables, seaweed, mushrooms, white vegetables, pulses,
potatoes, fish, sea products, fruit, and shellfish;
'Western', characterized by high intake of
vegetable oil, salt-containing seasonings, beef and pork, processed meat, eggs,
chicken, and white vegetables;
'Japanese', characterized by
high intake of rice, miso soup, sea products, and fish. |
DETOXIFICATION AND
LIFE-STYLE CHANGES
The first step is to remove the main source of
toxicity, which means cleaning up and healing the gut. However, many
tocic substances can be found on our food and cannot removed by washing or
peeling. You can detect them even in the flesh. Many of these substances tend
to accumulate within the body because the breakdown of many man-made substances takes much longer than organic nature. For that reason the use of detoxification recommended. |

In addition, your lungs and skin absorbs just about everything it comes in contact with, so be very cautious with the products you put on your skin, the air you breath. Again, a seaweed bath once a week can do wonders.
The brown type seaweeds belong to the best organic substances in this respect and have been clean the ocean and water for the last 3 billion years with success. Best known and most used are the brown type seaweeds like Kelp, Fucus vesiculosus and Irish Rockweed. 
Most people are hard press for time and life-style changes not a easy or real alternative to realize. Adding a small amount of seaweed to your food or use of a capsule an attractive alternative. Seaweed product and capsules available online.

In fact our common heritage is the sea, we arose from the sea and our internal bodies still reflect this.
All the sea substances are concentrated in seaweed cells. Best compared with a tiny chemical manufacturing plant, and produce nutrients, protein, vitamins, and fiber. However each variety of seaweed possesses its own individual cocktail of elements, so it is essential to choose the appropriate seaweed for the required function. Seaweed and sea vegetables contain the full spectrum of organic photo-synthetic vitamins, all minerals and 72 natural ionic sea trace minerals, lipids, plant sterols, amino acids. Omega 3s and 6s, anti-oxidants, growth hormones, poly-phenols i.e. The high density of nutrients found in algae is extremely important for many reasons. It is proven that negatively charged minerals can increase the transport and bio-availability of other foods and supplements. These accumulated minerals in seaweed can be loosely considered as primary metabolites. The accumulated minerals, are concentrated against the osmotic gradient to cause a much higher concentration of each mineral inside the body cells and inter-cellular spaces compared to the surrounding fluid (blood plasma). The use of water equilibrium mechanics to move materials in and out of body cells. Seaweed contains neither roots, nor blood vessels, but it has to feeds from the surrounding sea water.
What makes our seaweed unique?
Grown in in the cleanest, purest and best possible water/shore.
Protected from pollutants found in most in many other marine environments (PAC area). Kenmare bay. A Directive designated special Area of Conservation EEC.
100% natural. Hand cut and sorted, Air dried (low temperature drying.)
Pre-packed and ready to eat/use.
Flexible packaging, 85 gram (3 oz), 450 gram (1lb) up to 30 kg.
Because the sea is a rich source of all kind of substances which allows the seaweed to chose from and use it to take full advantage of all of the benefits of the sea without having to undergo any complex transformations. Any living form outside the sea has to adapt because the mineral wealth is simply not available. In the ocean, seaweed forms the first liner in the food chain, the only link realizing the organic substance synthesis from mineral elements. The total amount to exceed all plant and animal live on earth and produces half of the oxygen of the planet.

Seaweeds do not cure any type of disease, it provide the extra nutritional fuel that your overworked immune system so badly needs in to days polluted, toxic world and improve the digestion.
Use of seaweed as a Supplements for stimulating Sex, pleasure.
Basics; Iodine is the main chemical
element needed to make the thyroid hormones and often found as one of the
common deficiencies in people with sexual problems/appetite.
Why, the thyroid gland determines
the basic energy level of the body and being associated with the speed/rate at
which sex hormones are manufactured.
An under active thyroid can lead to
depression and loss of sexual interest – again, all triggered by an iodine
deficiency. Most users of seaweed because of there iodine content prefer a mixture of kelp and Irish Rockweed 50/50. Kelp is best but varies a lot due to seasons and locality. Irish rockweed is much more stable in this respect. By mixing the two seaweeds, putting an floor to the maximal variation in iodine content.
There are several nourishing varieties of seaweed, such as Dulse and Nori, rich in
iodine. Kelp contains calcium, copper, boron, barium, strontium and zinc as
well as iodine and other vitamins. Dulse or Dillisk is a red seaweed is not only high in iodine, rich in
essential protein along with other trace minerals such as vanadium, chromium,
bromine, lithium, fluoride, and vitamins A, B complex, C, D and K. Highly valued in the past in the Northern countries of Europe, the UK and Ireland.
To ensure an adequate supply of
iodine, a regular supplement of dulse or other seaweed like kelp is best.
