Seaweed is rich in prebiotic fibers—natural compounds that feed the beneficial bacteria in the gut, helping them thrive and outcompete harmful microbes. These fibers make up 25% to 75% of seaweed’s dry weight, far more than most fruits and vegetables. 

Key Gut Health Benefits:

  • Feeds Good Bacteria: Seaweed’s dietary fibers and unique sugars (like sulfated polysaccharides) act as fuel for probiotics, promoting a diverse and balanced microbiome 
  • Boosts Short-Chain Fatty Acids (SCFAs): These compounds strengthen the gut lining, reduce inflammation, and support immune function 
  • Improves Digestive Efficiency: A healthy gut microbiome enhances nutrient absorption and reduces bloating, discomfort, and irregularity 
  • Supports Long-Term Microbial Balance: Research indicates that seaweed may help beneficial bacteria, such as Bacteroides, remain in the gut longer, thereby enhancing their beneficial effects. 

Whether used in animal feed or functional foods, our seaweed formulations are a natural, science-backed way to support digestive health, without synthetic additives or antibiotics.
