Laminaria: health from the sea depths

Laminaria - the best of seafood

Laminaria or sea kale was always included in the diet of those who lived near the sea and enjoyed his generous gifts. As a rule, the health of the inhabitants of the coastal zones has always been considered stronger, and doctors have long believed that it is in the healing sea air. Thanks not only to the air, but also to the kelp, which contains a record number of micro- and macronutrients, polysaccharides and vitamins. In brown seaweed, polyunsaturated fatty acids have been found that have a beneficial effect on brain function. The special value of laminaria is alginic acids, polysaccharides laminarin and fucoidan. In a complex these substances possess antitumoral, antioxidant, immunostimulating, antibacterial, antiviral and anti-inflammatory properties.

Laminaria and Thyroid Health

Not knowing the results of the research, without assuming that they ever will be carried out, people have used sea kale for a long time to prevent and treat goiter. Due to the fact that in brown seaweeds not less than 95% of iodine is a part of special organic compounds, laminaria promotes normalization of thyroid functions. The uniqueness of the compounds is that they are ideal for the human body and contribute to the harmonious absorption of iodine. This is especially important, given that this element in nature is rare, even in such a favorable combination.

Laminaria and prevention of heart disease

Due to the ability of iodine to influence the coagulability of blood, drugs based on it have long been used to prevent thrombosis and the development of atherosclerosis. Laminaria is useful not only because of the high content of iodine, in addition to it, brown algae in organic form contains at least 40 other macro- and microelements, including selenium, copper, chromium, iron, vitamins and others.

Laminaria and bowel condition

Laminaria is irreplaceable for restoration of normal work of the digestive tract. Especially it concerns those cases when, for a number of reasons, there are difficulties with defecation. This is due to malnutrition, under the influence of chronic stress or due to radical changes in lifestyle. Women have such problems after childbirth, when not only the regime of the day, but also the menu changes. As a rule, even after it is possible to diversify the diet, constipation remains due to lost tonus of the musculature of the intestine. In this case, kelp helps to get rid of constipation due to its ability to retain water and increase in size. There is a comfortable irritation of the walls and receptors of the mucosa. The state of the microflora is improved, thanks to the content of mineral salts and cellulose. The effect, in contrast to the use of laxatives, remains for a long time.

Laminaria and products from it are also extremely useful in many pathologies of the gastrointestinal tract. They are used for dysbiosis to restore normal microflora, as well as for the prevention and treatment of gastritis, duodenitis, peptic ulcer and many other diseases.

Lactomarine is a natural substitute

For the sake of justice it is necessary to say that, unfortunately, due to the peculiarities of the technology of extraction of raw materials and production, sea kale does not contain in its composition half of those useful properties that brown algae possess. That's why, scientists have found not just an alternative, but thanks to decades of research they developed a unique form of composition, and offer all the useful properties of laminaria in a specially developed Lactomarin gel. Its balanced composition allows all components to be absorbed in the body and work on its recovery.

So, fucoidan has restorative properties, due to which, aging processes in the body slow down. Alginates release toxic substances from the body, including radionuclides and salts of heavy metals. Laminarin improves blood properties, diluting it. In the complex, substances that make up Lactomarin normalize the level of cholesterol and glucose in the blood, preventing the formation of atherosclerotic plaques, improve the work of the digestive and cardiovascular systems, improve the overall state of hypothyroidism and diabetes and much more.
