Seaweed is rich in nutrients

 1. Protein:

The protein content of cartilage oscillates between 5 and 22% (according to Nha Trang Research Institute). The protein content of seaweed is variable, depending on the growth stage, geographic location and habitat.

According to the research, the protein content increases with growth time and reaches the maximum value at the reproductive stage.

2. Lipid:

The lipid content in cartilage is not significant, but some researchers believe the seaweed's smell is caused by lipids.

3. Pigmentation:

 Chondrosarcoma contains a number of pigments such as xanfo, blue pigment (phycoxfanyn), chlorophyll. The cartilage pigment is less stable than the pigment of other algae, So this species can be bleached by natural methods of sun drying.

4. Water:

Water content is 77 - 91%, water content decreases with time of growth, nutrient accumulation, water content reaches 79%.

Micronutrients: Seaweed contains over 20 kinds of trace elements useful as: Iron, copper, zinc, fluoride, manganese, nickel, cobalt.

6. Amino acids: 

13-20 amino acids are free - many of which are essential for the human body.

7. Macro Mineral:

 Sodium; Calcium - 3 times more calcium than cow's milk, magnesium; potassium; chlorine; sulfur and phosphorus.

8. Fiber: 

Seaweed in general and cartilage in particular contain fiber in which the highlight is iodine (the essential trace element needed for the thyroid gland); The iodine content in cartilage is higher than that of other foods, including those derived from the sea

9. Vitamin: 

Contains many vitamins such as A, B1, B2, B6, C, D, E ...

Vitamin A content in cartilage 2-3 times higher than carrots, 10 times in butter, vitamin B2 is 7 times higher in eggs, vitamin C, E many times higher in vegetables

Effects of seaweed

- Cartilage is very necessary and nutritious for humans.

- Rong cartilage is a kind of polysacharide with high emulsion, can detoxify, cure chronic diseases, make glue material ...

 One of the secrets of Japanese longevity is the habit of eating a lot of seaweed.

- Rong cartilage also laxative effect, absorption of toxic substances in the human body (especially heavy metals, radioactive substances such as lead, arsenic ...) and be discharged through the road excrete. Therefore, seaweed in general and seaweed in particular is not only food source to prevent malnutrition, goiter for upland people but also very necessary for people in urban and industrial areas.

- In medicine, pharmacy: anti-adjuvant, thrombocytopenic, anti-coagulant, fibroid tumor, anti-atherosclerosis, suppression of viral activity, suppression of HIV and herpes. , especially inhibition of papillomavirus - the virus that causes ovarian cancer. For diabetes, Carrageenan can absorb water and slow down the emptying of the stomach, thereby reducing the risk of hyperglycemia that occurs right after the meal.
