“Seanol® is rich in special class of super-antioxidant molecules called “eckols” only found in several Ecklonia and Eisenia species.”
In a study performed by Australian botanists, three different kinds of function of sea polyphenols were suggested during wound-healing of damaged tissue in brown algae.
Protective surface interactions supporting rapid closure and stabilization of damaged tissue.
Reinforcing cellular matrices and promoting organized tissue reconstruction.
Deterring microbial invasion and oxidative stress as part of the algae’s natural protective system.
Modulating intra- and intercellular signaling pathways during stress adaptation and recovery.
“Seanol® is rich in special class of super-antioxidant phlorotannin molecules called “eckols” only found in several Ecklonia and Eisenia species.”
Seanol® is rich in a unique class of polyphenols called phlorotannins, which are found exclusively in brown algae and exhibit strong antioxidant activity. Although their molecular structures are highly diverse, they are all chemically defined as polymers of phloroglucinol.
The distinctiveness of Seanol® comes from the unique molecular architecture of its primary phlorotannins, known as eckols, which differ fundamentally from conventional phlorotannins. Eckols possess a fused-ring dibenzo-p-dioxin core, a structural feature associated with exceptionally strong antioxidant capacity.
Seanol® polyphenols belong to a special class of polyphenols exclusively found in brown algae which are also called “sea polyphenols”. One of the most studied class of sea polyphenols are called “eckols” found in several Ecklonia and Eisenia species.
Seanol® is a dietary ingredient with 90+% phlorotannins (rich in various eckols) extracted from Ecklonia cava. In 2008, US FDA authorized it as a new dietary ingredient (NDI). In 2018, EU authorized it as Novel Food Ingredient (NFI).
