The vast and mysterious oceans are the source of many benefits for humanity, offering an abundance of vital resources. Among these precious gifts, algae stand out as superfoods, possessing an exceptional nutrient density that captivates the attention of researchers, nutritionists, and health-conscious consumers. These simple organisms, thriving in the world's saline and fresh waters, are much more than just marine plants; they are the foundation of a revolution in nutrition and wellness.
Considered a superfood due to its rich and varied composition, algae offer an impressive spectrum of essential nutrients. They are an inexhaustible source of plant-based protein, vitamins (especially vitamins A, C, and B), minerals (such as iron, calcium, and magnesium), omega-3 fatty acids, and fiber. Their unique profile of antioxidants and bioactive compounds, such as chlorophyll and carotenoids, gives algae exceptional properties, making them valuable allies.
In this article, we delve into the fascinating world of algae to discover how these often overlooked or underappreciated marine plants play a key role in improving our well-being. By incorporating algae into dietary supplements, we can benefit from their incredible benefits in a concentrated and convenient way. Whether it's to strengthen the immune system, improve digestion, support thyroid function, or for their detoxifying action, algae represent a natural and powerful solution to meet the challenges of modern health.
By exploring the different algae used in our supplements, we will see how these ocean superfoods can enrich our diets and significantly contribute to our overall well-being.
Products in our algae-based range:
ACID-BASE BALANCE
Lithothamnion, the main component of the "Acid-Base Balance" dietary supplement, is a calcified red algae that thrives in shallow, cold, clear waters. This algae is distinguished by its ability to absorb minerals from its marine environment, giving it a rich and diverse composition.
The origins of this algae date back centuries. Lithothamnium is formed from the gradual deposition of calcium carbonate on its external skeleton, giving it a porous structure. This characteristic allows it to act as a natural filter and concentrate a large quantity of essential minerals within itself.
In our Acid-Base Balance supplement, lithothamnion is used primarily for its high calcium content, a key mineral in regulating body pH. pH, or potential hydrogen, is a measure of the acidity or alkalinity of a solution. In the human body, proper acid-base balance is vital for many biological functions.
An imbalance in the body's pH can be a source of many problems. The calcium contained in lithothamnion helps neutralize excess acidity, thus promoting the maintenance of acid-base balance.
Acid-Base Balance provides a natural source of calcium to help regulate the body's pH, supporting optimal acid-base balance. This algae, with its exceptional mineral composition, is a perfect example of how the ocean's treasures can be used to enhance our daily well-being.
XENOSULF
Chlorella, contained in Xenosulf, is a single-celled green freshwater microalgae known for its exceptional detoxifying properties. Native to slow-moving lakes and rivers, this algae has a history of use dating back thousands of years, particularly in Asia, where it is valued for its health benefits.
What makes chlorella particularly interesting for dietary supplements like Xenosulf is its unique ability to bind with heavy metals.
In addition to its detoxifying abilities, chlorella is extremely nutrient-dense. It provides a dense source of plant protein, vitamins (especially B12, which is rare in the plant kingdom), minerals (such as iron and magnesium), essential fatty acids, and chlorophyll. The latter, responsible for the algae's green color, plays a role in blood health and cell regeneration.
The presence of chlorella in Xénosulf underscores Laboratoires Le Stum's commitment to providing natural solutions for detoxifying the body. Thanks to its rich composition and unique properties, chlorella is a superfood that plays a crucial role in maintaining well-being, making Xénosulf a dietary supplement of choice for those seeking to purify their bodies.
ORGANIC SPIRULINA
Spirulina is a freshwater microalgae with remarkable nutritional properties. This blue-green algae is cultivated under strict conditions to guarantee its quality (organic in our case), without the use of pesticides or chemical fertilizers, thus preserving its purity and concentration of essential nutrients.
Native to mineral-rich alkaline lakes, spirulina has been used for centuries by ancient civilizations for its health benefits. Its popularity in modern nutrition is due to its exceptional nutritional profile: it is a concentrated source of plant-based protein (containing all essential amino acids), B vitamins, minerals (iron, magnesium), antioxidants, and natural pigments such as phycocyanin, which gives it its characteristic color.
Our Organic Spirulina is particularly appreciated for its positive impact on energy and vitality. Thanks to its high content of bioavailable nutrients, it helps combat fatigue, supports the immune system, and promotes rapid recovery after exercise or during convalescence.
This dietary supplement is a natural solution for anyone looking to enrich their diet and improve their well-being.
IODINE ASCOPHYLLUM NODOSUM ORGANIC
Organic Ascophyllum Nodosum Iodine is a dietary supplement that harnesses the exceptional benefits of Ascophyllum Nodosum, a wild brown seaweed harvested in the cold, pristine waters of the Atlantic coast. This seaweed is specially selected for its high content of natural iodine, a trace element essential for the proper functioning of the thyroid and thyroid hormones.
Ascophyllum nodosum is known for its ability to absorb large amounts of iodine from seawater, making it a particularly rich and bioavailable source. Iodine plays an important role in the synthesis of thyroid hormones, which regulate metabolism, brain development, growth, and the optimal functioning of many systems in the body.
Ascophyllum Nodosum Iodine supplement is designed to meet your daily iodine needs, which are increasingly common in modern diets, and to support thyroid function.
In short, it's a natural and effective solution for ensuring adequate iodine intake. This supplement is therefore ideal for those looking to maintain their hormonal balance naturally and support their overall well-being.
