NuVena - Sea Algae 350g

It contains a wide range of organic minerals and trace elements with high bioavailability.

Characteristic features of seaweed:

- low protein content
- natural source of iodine
- contain fucoxanthin - a carotenoid present in algae
- high calcium and vitamin K content
- are a source of stable polyunsaturated omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids in a ratio of about 1.0
- 70 different minerals and trace elements in natural form, including rare boron and silicon

When to use?

- in case of changes in the skeleton, arthrosis, spavin, in case of risk of osteomas
- in case of fractures, bone cracks
- in young horses, especially in case of improper growth
- in cases of inflammation
- in horses with a tendency to develop gastric and duodenal ulcers
- in horses with metabolic problems; insulin resistance, Cushing, EMS

The effect of seaweed:

Anti-inflammatory effect - A recent study conducted at University College Cork using macroalgae supplement components, looked at their effect on cytokines
(a family of molecules that help regulate the immune response and inflammation). It was shown that the components of macroalgae have significant anti-inflammatory effects.

The ability to buffer stomach acids - due to its high calcium content

Support for bone metabolism - proliferating cells undergo a series of transformations as a result of which bone tissue is formed. The positive effect of using algae on bone metabolism in growing horses has been proven. Fucoxanthin contained in brown algae enhances osteogenic activity in general, and bone mineralization is also supported by the content of calcium, magnesium and vitamin K.

Metabolism - seaweed is a source of iodine, which helps in energy production, which translates into metabolism.

Metabolic problems - studies conducted on mice have shown a beneficial effect of Ascophyllum nodosum algae. These algae had an impact on eliminating problems caused by metabolic disease. They contributed to a significant reduction in body weight, lower blood glucose levels, as well as fatty liver and a general tendency to develop inflammation.

Control of excessive fatness - fucoxanthin contained in brown algae affects the activity of many enzymes responsible for fat metabolism, thanks to which it increases the process of burning adipose tissue.

Anti-cancer effect - numerous research results have shown that fucoxanthin in the diet is converted into a carotenoid, fucoxanthinone, which has high potential as an anti-cancer agent.

Vitamin K - occurs in high concentrations in brown algae in the form of phytomenadione. This is their valuable feature, as this vitamin is relatively difficult to find in nature. Proteins activated in the carboxylation process, of which vitamin K is an essential cofactor, are important for blood clotting, bone mineralization and prevention of calcification of blood vessels.
