Cellular Healing

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.

Wound Sealing

Protective surface interactions supporting rapid closure and stabilization of damaged tissue.

Structural Healing

Reinforcing cellular matrices and promoting organized tissue reconstruction.

Defense

Deterring microbial invasion and oxidative stress as part of the algae’s natural protective system.

Cellular Signaling

Modulating intra- and intercellular signaling pathways during stress adaptation and recovery.

Marine Polyphenol

“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.

  • Differs from terrestrial polyphenols
  • Polymers of Phloroglucinol
  • Antioxidant
  • Wide-spectrum Molecular Structure

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.

  • Unique molecular architecture
  • Fused-ring dibenzo-p-dioxin core
  • Oligomers of Phloroglucinol
  • Exceptionally strong antioxidant

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.

  • Only from brown algae
  • Especially from Ecklonia cava
  • Eckols, the Key molecules
  • Standardized to meet global standards

Global Standard

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).
