Dulse Powder
Dulse is a nutrient-rich marine algae, and its main functions include anti-oxidation, mineral supplementation, metabolism regulation, and immune enhancement. Its natural ingredients such as astaxanthin, dietary fiber and various trace elements have a positive effect on skin, bone and cardiovascular health.
- Anti-oxidation and anti-aging
Dulse contains natural astaxanthin, which has an antioxidant capacity 6,000 times that of vitamin C, and can neutralize free radicals and reduce oxidative damage. Studies have shown that long-term intake may improve skin elasticity, delay the formation of wrinkles, and have a certain effect on alleviating skin inflammation caused by ultraviolet rays.
- Mineral and trace element supplementation
- Rich in calcium, magnesium and iron: Every 100 grams of dried dulse contains about 700 mg of calcium, which is suitable for vegetarians or lactose intolerant people to supplement calcium and help maintain bone health.
- Natural iodine: Appropriate intake can support thyroid function and regulate basal metabolic rate, but patients with thyroid disease need to follow the doctor's advice to control the dosage.
- Regulating metabolism and weight management
The water-soluble dietary fiber (such as algin) of red algae can increase satiety, slow down sugar absorption, and help stabilize blood sugar. At the same time, the fucoxanthin it contains may promote fat decomposition, showing a certain fat-reducing effect in animal experiments, but human research evidence still needs further verification.
- Immune support and anti-inflammatory effects
Algae polysaccharide components can activate macrophages and enhance the body's immunity. The synergistic effects of vitamin C, β-carotene, etc. contained in it can reduce the risk of chronic inflammation. Some traditional medical systems use it to improve joint inflammation.
- Skin care and external use effects
Red algae extract is often used in skin care products. It has outstanding moisturizing and water-locking ability and can repair the skin barrier. The polyphenols contained in it can soothe sensitive skin. Some studies suggest that it has an inhibitory effect on Propionibacterium acnes and may help improve acne problems.
