SEA VEGETABLES The Most Primordial  Vegetables On Earth Have Surprising Health Benefits Sea vegetables constitute a primary food group that is missing from the American diet. They contain as much as ten times the nutrient content as land vegetables. The particular strain of nori in this formula  contains 50% protein and is arguably the most digestible of all the algaes. In addition, both nori and dulse contain folic acid and are one of the  few vegetable sources of B12. Furthermore, 70% of the lipids found in nori and dulse consist of EPA which is extremely beneficial for cardiac and  inflammatory diseases, membrane permeability, and skin health and is a precursor for DHA, a fatty acid necessary for growth and development of  the Central Nervous System. These algaes rely on the same enzymatic pathways and nutrients to produce and assimilate these lipids as humans, therefore,  not only supplying essential fatty acids, but also providing the synergistic  nutrients which support the metabolic pathways concerning protein and lipid  utilization as well. In fact, scientists are finding that algaes even produce  some of the same neurotransmitters as humans (e.g. melatonin and serotonin). Back to Articles
