Sea Vegetation (Seaweed) Nutrition From Our Oceans

“I have been practicing holistic medicine for almost 21 years, and during that time I have consumed and recommended sea vegetables/seaweed to my clients and friends. The are many reasons  why I include sea vegetables in my diet and why I recommend them to my clients. Sea vegetables aid in healthy weight loss, the control and elimination of cellulite, detoxification, creating to beautiful hair and skin, strong thyroid and immune function, and much more.  I consistently witness these benefits in my practice first-hand, so I know for a fact that these benefits are possible.  Sea vegetables can transform your health! I know that when I eat sea vegetables, I am tapping into an ancient and restorative source of all life – the ocean. Because I feel so strongly about the beneficial health properties of sea vegetables, California Academy Of Health has made them the primary, active ingredient in its one-of-a-kind, comprehensive liquid daily supplement – Liquid Power Multi-V.

I know once you start to include sea vegetables into your diet, every day, you’ll see and feel the difference in your health. I know I do.”

Sea Vegetables – Sea Vegetation – Seaweed – Kelp Information:

Sea vegetables provide all of the minerals and trace minerals required by our body’s physiological functions, in quantities that greatly exceed those of land plants. In fact they contain every natural element found on the periodic table of elements. These minerals, once absorbed, are now plant-based, so they are vegan friendly and they include: calcium, magnesium, iron, potassium, iodine, manganese, chromium and many more. Sea vegetables also provide fiber, enzymes, proteins, complex carbohydrates and vitamins A, C, E, B1, B2, B6, B12, immune and endocrine modulating compounds – a veritable vegetarian and edible, medicine chest.

Current research into the health properties of sea vegetables will reveal that it is being looked at for its positive effects on cancer prevention, cardiovascular health, as an antioxidant and degenerative disease combatant, detoxifier, infection control, intestinal cleanser and healer, respiratory enhancer, sexual health and hormone support, thyroid booster, weight-loss aid, and wound healer. Specific phytochemicals, found only in sea vegetables, have been shown to absorb and eliminate radioactive elements and heavy metal contaminants from our bodies. Other recent research of sea vegetables demonstrates the inhibition of tumor formation, reduction in cancerous growths, benefiting normal cholesterol levels, endocrine and nervous system modulation, as well as possessing anti-viral and immune modulating properties.

For centuries cultures around the world have been harvesting sea vegetables/seaweed as a food source and natural healing substance. The Japanese people for centuries have integrated sea vegetables, as a food source into their daily lives. Much research has been done on the longevity of the Japanese and their lack of heart problems, kidney problems, and other chronic ailments. The Japanese have used this food/medicine to relieve a multitude of ailments including arthritis, osteoporosis and low blood sugar. Even the ancient Greeks used sea vegetables for body building, to sacrifice to the Greek gods, and as a food source. Hawaiians and Ancient Polynesians used sea vegetation for food, heart problems, arthritis pains, and a lot more. They even put a certain type of sea vegetation on wounds to prevent infection from occurring. These cultures are just a small example of how far back sea vegetables have been used.

Sea Vegetation is renewable and grows globally in most coastal regions. The life of a kelp plant is about three years and, spent in a tidal flow that reverses direction every six hours. The kelp plant has a root-like holdfast that fixes to rocky surfaces; a long slender stalk or stipe; and long, leaf-like blades or fronds, which are the major site of photosynthetic activity. The kelp plant is supported in the water by gas-filled bladders on each frond called pneumatocysts. The holdfast is cone-shaped and can grow up to 2 feet in diameter, in large plants.

The vitality and dynamic versatility of sea vegetation/seaweed easily translates, in a bio-available format, for the consumption and utilization by humanity, of this one of a kind, ultimate Superfood.

Marine Phytoplankton Provides Significant Wellness and Life Giving Properties

In an article recently published in the Yale University Journal of Marine Research, the power stored chemically in the world’s phytoplankton equaled 63 billion kilowatts.  Thus, marine phytoplankton is not only an incredible source of nutrition as the foundation of the food chain, but is a potentially huge source of bio-energy as well.

Eating closer to the base of the food web (primary producers), transfers more energy and nutrients to you.  It is reassuring to know that a microscopic but highly powerful organism like marine phytoplankton contains the positive energy that we need to thrive, despite the hazards of environmental toxicity, stress and nutrient-depleted food.

Marine phytoplankton provides a rare and complete food that gives the body virtually all of the raw materials that it needs, in one single source, to produce healthy new cells and neurochemicals for the body and the brain.  Phytoplankton have an alkaline pH which is what you want, to combat the disease producing effects of acidity. (Cancer cells like to grow in an acidic environment).

What is marine phytoplankton? "Phyto" meaning plant or light "plankton" meaning floating or suspended.

Marine Phytoplankton are single celled plants which are one the simplest life forms on planet Earth. But they are far from simple – they are microscopic, single celled algae that float and live in the ocean and are so small, they are not even visible to the naked eye. All phytoplankton are nutrient-rich, and as such are the basic staple diet for multitudes of oceanic life, and the very existence of the marine ecosystem depends upon them. The elements and electrolytes in plankton are ideal for the human body, and are in perfect balance with nature's plan to support life. Phytoplankton has unique and specialized nutrients that are not available from any other source.  Whales live to be 150 years old without eating anything else.

"Marine Phytoplankton is an ideal food for mankind. It's Mother Earth's milk from the ocean.  The research we are designing at the University of Utah Medical School testing the health benefits of Marine Phytoplankton is very exciting and promising.  Marine Phytoplankton contain many elements available no where else.  You may have heard of fresh water phytoplankton like Spirulina and Chlorella.  These algae also have many health benefits, however, with the 200+ separate species of marine phytoplankton, their nutritional profile is second to none! " – Hugo Rodier, MD, Nutritional professor at University of Utah Medical School

Marine Phytoplankton — A Nutritional Wellspring!

"One of those rare products that contains almost everything you need for life (and the rebuilding of a healthy life) is phytoplankton.  It contains the nine amino acids that the body cannot make and must be consumed in our diet (essential amino acids).  The essential fatty acids are also present (Omega 3 and Omega 6).  Vitamins A (betacarotine), 81 (thiamine), 82 (riboflavin), 83 (niacin), 85 (pantothenic acid), 86 (pyridoxine), 812 (cobalamin), C, and D (tocopherol) and major and trace minerals are all present in phytoplankton. In short, it contains almost everything one needs to sustain life.  Therefore, it contains almost everything one needs to restore health by providing the raw materials to make new cells that function normally. This is particularly true if one stops putting toxic materials such as artificial sweeteners and trans fats (partially hydrogenated fats) into our body."  – Dr. Jerry Tennant, M.D.

Some of the health benefits you may realize from taking Marine Micro Phytoplankton are:

Immune system support and enhancement, normalizes blood sugar levels, antioxidant protection, supports normal cholesterol levels, alkalizing – helping improve the pH balance of the body, anti-inflammatory effects on membranes – relieves joint pain, supports healthy blood pressure, cell wall improvement through increased permeability and flexibility, detoxification and cleansing (supports removal of toxins from cells & organs), supports weight loss, increases energy and vitality, skin care – such as acne, neurological support, supports a healthy liver, improved vision – some say even more effective than lutein.

The bottom line – Marine Micro Phytoplankton is a nutritional power-house and it is a primary ingredient in our Liquid Power Multi-V™.
