In partnership with seaweed ingredient technology company BioMara, British academics from Aberystwyth University are investigating the potential gut health benefits of BioMara’s Thalivra fucoidan-containing extract, a bioactive compound extracted from seaweed cell walls. BioMara developed an extraction technology that allows multiple products to be extracted from a single seaweed biomass while preserving their bioactivity. The bespoke process is adaptable to multiple seaweed species.
