Kelp - It Works

Ecklonia kelp flourishes on rocky reefs off the coast of the western tip of Africa where the pristine, icy Benguela current sweeps up from Antarctica.  This current keeps the kelp fronds in constant motion, bathing them in the tumultuous, nutrient-rich ocean, causing the kelp to grow extremely rapidly.  Ecklonia kelp has developed a strong and rubbery cell structure which enables it to thrive in the violent wave action present on this coastline. The strength of this marine plant is due to the presence of high levels of organic gels within its kelp tissue. In addition to organic gels, the kelp has significant amounts of vitamins, minerals, enzymes, and amino acids.

Organic Gels:  Ecklonia kelp has a high content of organic gels including alginates. 

Enzymes:  Kelp, due to its extremely fast growth rate, is a rich source of enzymes.  The Cambrian process applied to freshly harvested Ecklonia Kelp ensures that the fragile enzymes remain unaltered.

Amino Acids:  Amino acids, the building blocks of life, are present in kelp. Ecklonia kelp contains 7 of the 9 essential amino acids and 7 of the 11 non-essential amino acids, thus 14 of the 20 amino acids necessary for human growth.

Vitamins:  The vitamins present in Ecklonia kelp juice are in a natural, plant- based, easy-to-assimilate biological form.  Here is a quick overview of these vitamins and their functions in the body:

Minerals:  Scientists are aware of at least 60 trace minerals found in the tissue of kelp.  Kelp cytoplasm has a wide array of minerals present in an easy to assimilate, biologically-active form.  Some of the minerals found in kelp and the potential benefits of them are as follows:
