Traditional use of red marine algae
Gigartina red marine algae is a type of sea vegetable that's been valued in traditional diets for centuries, particularly in Japan and across Asia. Naturally high in polysaccharides, this seaweed variety has long been appreciated as a dietary support. Today it continues to be chosen by those seeking natural, marine-derived nutrition.
Red algae grows in cold ocean waters and has been harvested traditionally for food use for generations. Its nutritional profile includes naturally occurring sulphated polysaccharides, compounds found throughout various species of red seaweed, and in particularly high concentration in Gigarrtina skotterskii.
