such as Lithothamnium Calcareum
The Brittany Coast of France is
the origin of most of the Source Vital
algae. This unique ecosystem exposes the coast to
phenomena such as storms, currents, tides, etc.
These conditions create natural systems of
self-defense within the marine algae, which gives
great strength and allows such a biodiversity of
elements. The native seawater contains nearly 110
elements necessary to our human ecosystem—minerals
and trace elements—in proportions close to those of
blood plasma. The marine algae develop by
concentrating these invaluable elements within their
structure.
Red Algae dwell in the deepest
waters along the continental shelf affixed to the
sea bed. In these depths, needed sunlight is scarce.
The red pigment works in tandem with chlorophyll to
trap the scant light to produce sugars as a source
of energy. These pigments are involved in the
function of oxidative enzymes which control our
metabolism.
Lithothamnium is a calcareous
alga consisting of 95% mineral substance. Therefore,
it looks like rock and is very often mistaken for
coral. It is a purple blue color when alive; after
processing the color turns to gray. Its skeleton is
mainly composed of carbonated calcium and carbonated
magnesium. These two elements represent 35% of the
plant (dry weight).
Our algae are harvested with the
rhythms of the seasons and tides.
Main active ingredients and
properties of Lithothamnium:
Calcium – the most
abundant mineral in the human body.
Plays a role in:
·
Blood clotting
·
Strong bones and teeth
·
Digestion and regulation of metabolism
·
Reduces lead absorption
·
Assists in muscle contraction, blood
vessel contraction and expansion
·
Secretion of hormones and enzymes
·
Transmission of messages through the
nervous system
Magnesium – 4th
most abundant mineral in the body.
Plays a role in:
·
Over 300 biochemical reactions in the
body
·
Maintain normal muscle and nerve
function
·
Cardiovascular function - Proper heart
rhythm, normalizing blood pressure
·
Healthy immune system
·
Bones strength
·
Regulation of blood sugar levels
·
Energy metabolism and protein
synthesis
Iron – one of the most
abundant metals on Earth. Essential to normal
human physiology.
Plays a role in:
·
Proteins and enzymes that maintain
good health
·
Proteins involved in oxygen transport
·
Regulation of cell growth and
differentiation
·
Delivery of oxygen to cells
·
Immunity - resistance to disease
·
Blood - hemoglobin, a protein in red
blood cells that carries oxygen to tissues
·
Enzymes that assist biochemical
reactions
Other elements present - Sodium, Iodine, Zinc,
Bromine |
