Seaweed or sea vegitation is found naturally in the salt water oceans and seas. However, in Asia, seaweed cultivation is a major industry. A process called aquaculture is used in China, Korea, and Japan to cultivate Kelp, Nori, Kombu, and Wakame. Some seaweeds are used in maritime countries for industrial purposes and as a fertilizer, but most seaweed is cultivated for food use. Large scale seaweed aquaculture is only found in Asia, where the demand is high for seaweed products and the market continues to grow. This process is low-technology and labor intensive. The whole, attached plants are placed in the water manually. Several attempts have been made to introduce high technology to reduce labor, but none of these are viable at present. China produces 59% of the world production of seaweed, Korea 11%, and Japan 10%. VeggieCal-D is made with only the highest quality sea plant material. VeggieCal-D ™, bountiful sea kelp nutrition.

Beneficial nutrients in seaweed
Some beneficial nutrients in seaweed include organic (photo-synthetic) vitamins, trace minerals, lipids, plant sterols, amino acids, omega-3 and omega-6, anti-oxidants, growth hormones, polyphenols, and flavenoids. Seaweed also contains Fucoidan, Laminarin, and Alginate compounds. Studies suggest that these are anti-biotic and anti-viral. Land plants do not contain these photochemicals.

‡ Regular exercise and a healthy diet with enough calcium helps teens and young adult white and Asian women maintain good bone health and may reduce their high risk of osteoporosis later in life. Total intakes of greater than 2,000 mg calcium provide no added benefit to bone health.

‡ Some evidence suggests that calcium supplements may reduce the risk of colon/rectal cancer, however, FDA has determined that this evidence is limited and not conclusive.

‡ Some scientific evidence suggests that calcium supplements may reduce the risk of hypertension. However, FDA has determined that the evidence is inconsistent and not conclusive.

‡ One small study suggests that chromium picolinate may reduce the risk of insulin resistance, and therefore possibly may reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes. FDA concludes, however, that the existence of such a relationship between chromium picolinate and either insulin resistance or type 2 diabetes is highly uncertain.

‡ Some scientific evidence suggests that consumption of antioxidant vitamins may reduce the risk of certain forms of cancer. However, FDA has determined that this evidence is limited and not conclusive.
