Energy & Endurance
The PureSea range provides a natural iodine source that supports an energy yielding metabolism (EU Approved Health Claim), ideal for sports people during training and recover.
Research shows that sports people are more at risk of iodine deficiency due to higher losses of iodine in sweat than more sedentary people.
Furthermore, PureSea has been extensively researched for its benefits for blood sugar management. The specific polyphenols in PureSea have been shown to naturally inhibit key enzymes that break down carbohydrates, which can result in a slower energy release; ideal for energy and edurance.
With the often sweet flavours of energy products, PureSea Protect offers a flavourless, soluble and white seaweed powder, protecting your products from the more savoury flavours of our other seaweeds. PureSea Protect also protects the key polyphenols during digestion, with better release in the small intestine, where they are needed for potential improvements in blood sugar management.
