They are rich in nutrients such as iodine, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium and iron and they contain vitamin K, which is anti-hemorrhagic and improves the health of the gastrointestinal system.<\/p>\n<p>There are 2 substances found in several <strong>seaweed<\/strong> species that <strong>have antioxidant and photoprotective characteristics<\/strong>. They are (i) carotenoids (organic pigments) and (ii) mycosporins (a type of amino acid). With these substances, <strong>it is possible to produce natural sun filters and antioxidants<\/strong>, which combat free radicals that can cause various health problems, including oxidation and skin ageing.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>How Marialma Uses The Seaweed Power<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Marialma was created to incorporate technology in everyday products.
