is marketed strictly as a nutritional supplement and makes no medical claims, Domizi
believes that its positive effects are to due replacement of micronutrients no longer
available in our food supplies. Every state has now reported trace mineral deficiencies in
its soils, she notes. Soils lacking in needed nutrients produce foods lacking in them.
Heat processing, poor harvesting, and improper storage can further decrease nutrient
levels...
...Trace
elements are held in suspension in the ocean, Domizi continues.
As seaweeds filter these nutritious waters, they store the trace
elements as bioactive compounds in their tissues. Domizi feels that
the best way we could improve our food supply would be to fertilize
soils with seaweed. That is simply too expensive, she says, so the
alternative is using a supplement that brings these "lost"
trace minerals back into the diet.
"We're
always improving [SOURCE] as we learn how to improve harvesting
and processing, and learn more about the analytical profiles of
various macroalgae. We'll never stop until it's perfect."
