What is brown seaweed extract?
Brown seaweed is full of nutrients like natural iodine, minerals, vitamins, and alginates. However, raw seaweed is tough to digest on its own. Brown seaweed extract refers to the process of breaking down the tough fiber in seaweed to make it digestible, so that your body can absorb the nutrients the seaweed has to offer. This is similar to how fermented, marinated or cooked vegetables can be healthier for you body because they allow your digestive system to absorb the nutrients better.
What is Modifilan?
