Exploring marine resources

Native seawater contains nearly 110 elements required for our body’s balance (minerals, trace elements, fatty acids, vitamins, etc.). They are present in proportions that are surprisingly close to those of blood plasma. The seaweed that grows in this medium has the ability to concentrate these elements and return them to us in our formulas. The researchers in our ingredient laboratory are highly knowledgeable about the makeup of these marine resources. They select the useful, active fractions such as polysaccharides and polyphenols. As a result, Agrimer offers an array of seawater products and derived products to boost mineral and trace element content.

Marine algae and other marine plants are also an important resource in Agrimer’s expertise. Our laboratory develops liquid and powder extracts, which are used as active or functional ingredients.
