Gigartina - Red Marine Algae

Our Red Marine Algae is an excellent source of sulphated polysaccharides, complex compounds that are immune boosting substances. This product helps maintain a robust immune system.

Our Red Marine Algae contains 5 strains of Gigartina Red Marine Algae which are believed to be the marine algae with the highest concentration of sulphated polysaccharides. The product has been developed by Vibrant Health in conjunction with their research partners to give a Red Marine Algae product with the highest level of sulphated polysaccharides for immune support.

Red Marine Algae has for many years been part of the staple diet of many cultures, particularly Japanese and Chinese.  These cultures appreciate its health benefits and in particular its immune support.  Red algae is believed to support;

     ·         Immune System- antiviral helps prevent herpes outbreaks

     ·         Digestive System- improves digestion- enhances metabolism

     ·         Weight loss by curbing appetite

     ·         Lowering of Cholesterol

Although the immune boosting support of red algae is believed to be due to their sulphated polysaccharides red algae is known to contain sterols and sterolins. These complexes are now known to stimulate human immune response even though only a small percentage are absorbed in the gastro intestinal tract. This could further amplify the beneficial immune boosting properties of the Gigartina Red Algae.

Vibrant Health's Gigartine Red Algae is simply encapsulated powder of the leaves of the 5 strains of algae from the algae family Gigartinaceae.
