chemicals, either of which would destroy some of the nutrient potency. Then,
they get rid of the indigestible part (which is actually most of the seaweed
itself) to create a dried powdered juice concentrate of seaweed.
Sounds a little gross—and it does really smell like the ocean—but it’s
really the only way to give you everything you need in completely and easily
digestible capsule, delivering all the health benefits the seaweed offers. And it
takes a lot of seaweed to pack so much benefit into a capsule: Remember, it
takes 40 pounds of laminaria to create just 1 pound of extract.
Of course, not just any seaweed will do. No, you need laminaria, an excep-
tionally nutrient-rich brown seaweed.
And not just any laminaria will do. You need to be able to fully trust the source...
or you could end up ingesting some of the very toxins you’re trying to avoid.
Not all seaweed is safe
With all the contamination and radiation swirling around our oceans right
now, it’s critical to know your source.
You see, seaweed has a critically important job—it purifies ocean water,
the same way it helps keep your body clear of toxins. But under the wrong
circumstances, it can become contaminated by the very toxic metals and radi-
ation it’s clearing out of the water it lives in.
That’s why it’s critically important to know where your laminaria comes from.
The cleanest, safest source of pure laminaria comes from the pristine
waters off the Tasmanian coast, in the unspoiled natural environment of the
South Pacific. Right alongside King Island and Fisher Island is one of the very
few spots on earth where this seaweed grows naturally.
That wild seaweed is hand-harvested to ensure its sustainability, only hand
cut when it grows to a suitable size for harvesting. Only then, and only from
there, can a completely pure, clean laminaria extract be created.
And in that extract, among the abundant ocean nutrients, are three com-
pounds critical for good health:
- iodine, to nourish and protect your thyroid
- alginate, to safely clean toxins from your body,
- and fucoidan, to help prevent dreaded diseases like cancer
You’re probably not getting enough iodine
More than anything else in your body, your thyroid needs iodine—but in
exactly the right amount of the right kind. Too much or too little can cause
problems, so the proper dose is crucial, essential for human life.
