Know What Consumers Want!Be innovative, not complicated. Consumers

are increasingly looking for simple products. Products with natural ingredients and ingredient lists they can understand.

Too much innovation can be scary. Instead, innovation that revamps old traditions in new guises can satisfy both the desire for newness and the need for familiarity.

A Sea Of Opportunities

Giant Kelp: Macrocystis PyriferaGiant kelp is known as the "redwood of the ocean". Giant kelp contaings alginic acid

Research indicates that alginic acid can curb the production of histamines and even prevent anaphylaxis and inflammation*

Jeong HJ et al. Alginic acid has anti-anaphylactic effects and inhibits inflammatory cytokine expression via suppression of nuclear factor-kappaB activation. Clin Exp allergy. 2006 Jun; 36(6); 785-94.

Kelp: Laminaria DigitaLaminaria digitata is one of several brown algaes

that produce fucoidans, polysaccharides that have been linked to a number of important health benefits

Fucoidans seem to limit abnormal cell growth as well as the spread of abnormal cells.

It also supports cardiovascular health in a number of ways by both reducing clotting mechanisms and protecting against inflammation.

Cumashi A. A comparative study of the anti-inflammatory, anticoagulant, antiangiogenic, and antiadhesive activities of nine different fucoidans from brown seaweeds. Glycobiology 2007 17(5):541-552.

Dulse: Palmaria PalmataDulse contains good amounts of Vitamin C

and B vitamins.

Research has also shown that its high level of polyphenols are effective in slowing, if not stopping, abnormal cell growth fueled by hydroxyl free radicals.

Yuan, YV. Extracts from dulse (Palmaria palmate) are effective antioxidants and inhibitors of cell proliferation in vitro. Food Chem Toxicol. 2005 Jul;43(7): 1073-81.

Sea Lettuce:Ulva LactucaRich in carotenes and chlorophyll, sea lettuce

exhibits "remarkable antioxidant activity" on a par with Vitamin E as well as antibacterial activities.

Researchers has suggested that it could work as a good natural preservative.

Fifteen to 20% of sea lettuce is protein.

In animal studies, they've observed that extracts from this seaweed seemed to protect against liver damage

Salicornia: Salicornia EuropeaCurrent research has found that salicornia

effectively scavenges free radicals with its high antioxidant content

Vitamins B1 and C alongside the minerals in salicornia are natural immune system boosters.

According to studies, keeping protein from animal sources limited to 10 percent of total calories was shown to dramatically reduce rates of cancer

El SN et al. Radical scavenging and iron-chelating activities of some greens used as a traditional dishes in Mediterranean diet. Int J Food Sci Nutr. 2004 Feb; 55(1): 67-74.

Spirulina: Arthrospira PlantensisSpirulina has been around for more than 3.5

billion years

Spirulina is 70% protein and loaded with B vitamins, iron and magnesium

Common name is blue-green algae, has more recently been researched for its effective anti-inflammatory properties.
