DRUG APPROVALS BY DR ANTHONY MELVIN CRASTO
.....
Scientists are claiming that they have now isolated unusual ingredients in a rare seaweed discovered by fishermen off the coast of Korea that offer incredible health benefits—including the ability to restore blood pressure to normal levels.
The first is Seanol, an extremely rare seaweed extract from Ecklonia Cava that’s proven to be 100 times more powerful than any land-based antioxidant. That’s because it stays working in your body for 12 hours, compared to land-based antioxidants that work for 30 minutes.
“Its secret is its make-up of special polyphenol antioxidants that are a whopping 40% lipid (fat) soluble,” Dr. Lee explains. “Unlike nearly all land-based antioxidants that are water soluble, Seanol’s protective compounds can get into things like the fatty tissues of your brain and penetrate all three layers of your cells, including the outside, the oil-based cell membranes, and your DNA.”
Indeed, Seanol is so powerful, it’s the only FDA-approved Ecklonia Cava marine-algae extract in existence.
The second ingredient is Calamarine, a deep-sea omega-3 discovery that delivers 85% more DHA omega-3s to your heart, brain, joints, and eyes. It’s known to combat everything from fatigue and poor memory, to vision problems, joint pain, mood swings and depression.

Ecklonia cava is an edible marine brown alga species found in the ocean off Japan andKorea.
It is used as a herbal remedy in the form of an extract called Seanol, a polyphenolic extract. Another phlorotannin-rich natural agent, Ventol, is also extracted from E. cava.[1]
Phlorotannins, such as fucodiphlorethol G,[2] 7-phloro eckol, 6,6′-bieckol,[3] eckol, 8,8′-bieckol, 8,4″‘-dieckol and phlorofucofuroeckol A can be isolated from Ecklonia cava.[4]
Other components are common sterol derivatives (fucosterol, ergosterol and cholesterol).[3]

Calamarine is new super DHA
One of the myths associated with aging is that your body wears out and there is nothing we can do about it. As we get older, we just have to live with chronic disease and the only way to improve the quality of our health and life is to treat the symptoms.
Overwhelmingly, research suggests that this is simply not true. In fact, the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition and Circulation provide documented evidence that consumption of Omega-3 fatty acids from dietary sources and supplements cut the likelihood of an early death.DHA and EPA not only prevent heart disease and sudden death from a sudden heart attack, they lower the risk…
