Safety

Fukushima nuclear accident
We have been asked on numerous occasions if our products have been affected by the Fukushima nuclear accident. The accident occurred northerly on the eastern coastal region of Japan. The ocean along this coast line has been contaminated and all contaminants have been moving eastward toward the west coast of North America. Along with the ocean, the land in this region has also been affected. Every type of commercial water agriculture has been suspended in this region.

We harvest our raw material along the south western coastal region of Japan just across South Korea and along the south eastern coast line of China along the Yellow sea. These areas have not been affected by contaminants from the nuclear accident. Prior to all harvests, the waters have to be tested to make sure it is safe for the Marine Farmers, and, to make sure that the all raw materials used for food production are free from any and all contaminants. It is only when the waters are deemed safe that the harvest begins. The raw material is pulled from the ocean, dried, and then sent to our manufacturer to be processed.

Obesity

Cardiovascular Protection

Obviously, Ecklonia Cava Extract’s many health benefits provide additional cardiovascular protection for obese and morbidly patients, who are more prone to cardiovascular and coronary heart disease. As discussed, ECE lowers LDL cholesterol, suppresses triglyceride fabrication, promotes healthy blood flow, lowers blood pressure, and scavenges free radicals, to name a few.

DGAT Inhibition & Obesity

DGAT inhibition has recently been recognized as a novel and safe target for the treatment of obesity. DGAT (diacylglycerol acyltransferase) is a key enzyme involved in intestinal fat absorption, triglyceride levels, fat storage, and energy metabolism in muscles. In a mouse study in which DGAT was inhibited, mice demonstrated obesity resistance with a high-fat diet. ECE compounds are found to inhibit DGAT.
