Research that began with Ecklonia cava from clean seas

Seapolynol & Ecklonia cava

Marine polyphenols

Seapolynol was developed by extracting marine polyphenols from Ecklonia cava, a brown seaweed native to the clean waters off Jeju Island, then refining and standardizing them.

The marine polyphenols in Ecklonia cava are phlorotannins, and Seapolynol is managed against one of them, dieckol, as its marker compound. A daily serving of DANG CUT (2 capsules) contains 29.5mg as dieckol.

BIOTREE BALANCE explains not only where the ingredient comes from, but also its recognized functionality, specifications, how to take it and precautions, in language that is easy to understand.
