algae products

They are an integral part of Asian cuisine, while in the UK they are mainly known in connection with dietary supplements. We are talking about algae products, which are considered a kind of miracle cure in alternative medicine and have a disease-alleviating effect thanks to their numerous healthy ingredients. There are around 25,000 species of algae, which are among the oldest plant species on earth and can be found in a wide variety of habitats due to their high adaptability.

The composition of the diet in terms of various nutrients such as protein, minerals and carbohydrates is particularly crucial for health and fitness. In Western countries in particular, many people consume too little fibre and minerals, which are particularly important for stomach and intestinal health. Algae products contain fibre such as alginate and carrageenan, which render heavy metals absorbed by humans through food harmless to the body. They have also been proven to lower cholesterol levels. Other ingredients contained in algae products that contribute to good health are unsaturated fatty acids, especially omega-3 fatty acids. The extremely high mineral content also makes algae important dietary supplements.

Algae are also an important source of iodine. Humans have a daily iodine requirement of 0.2 milligrams on average, which in most cases is not covered by iodised table salt alone. During pregnancy and breastfeeding in particular, there is an increased requirement that can be excellently met by algae products. They naturally contain sufficient iodine. However, caution is advised for people suffering from hypothyroidism: consuming too much iodine in too short a time can lead to an overreaction of the thyroid gland. For healthy people, one to five grams of dried algae per day is safe and highly recommended.

Algae also contain highly concentrated minerals, vitamins and trace elements. These nutrients are not only valuable for general human well-being, but also for nails, connective tissue, hair and skin. For humans, algae products are important sources of magnesium, iron, calcium, potassium and zinc, as well as vitamins A, C, E and B12. Algae also contain elements such as copper and aluminium, which are not normally found in the average human diet. Algae products are also recommended as dietary supplements for people who want to lose weight in the long term: the nutrients contained in algae are able to prevent the release of harmful substances or facilitate their elimination from the body.

Algae products: nutrient-rich dietary supplements

Chlorella algae are particularly popular because of their detoxifying effect. They belong to the microalgae group and, in addition to other important ingredients, contain the leaf pigment chlorophyll, which has the ability to bind metals. In addition, taking chlorella algae as a dietary supplement reduces the amount of dioxin in breast milk while increasing the amount of immunoglobulin A in breast milk. Immunoglobulin A is primarily responsible for protecting newborns from infections.

Spirulina algae,

on the other hand, belong to the group of blue-green algae, which contain numerous valuable ingredients. In medicine, spirulina is considered a food that serves to prevent and treat diseases. Among other things, spirulina is often used to support the treatment of cancer, allergies and cardiovascular diseases.

AFA algae

contain a total of eight essential amino acids and a high proportion of antioxidants, which have a protective function. Unlike other algae products, AFA algae contain only a small amount of iodine, which is due to their freshwater origin. On the other hand, consuming AFA algae products reduces stress and increases mental well-being.

In general, algae products are an excellent dietary supplement due to the nutrients they contain: they provide the human body with important minerals that support the immune system in the long term, strengthen bone structure and prevent fatigue and exhaustion.
