The efficacy and role of wakame extract

The active substance of wakame needs to reach a certain concentration to exert its effect, which is difficult to achieve by ingesting wakame alone. Therefore, it is necessary to obtain a wakame extract with higher purity through extraction, separation, and purification, and then process it according to a certain formula as required.

Wakame is a type of brown seaweed, which is a relatively advanced type of algae. Wakame is yellowish-brown or dark brown due to the content of lutein in cells exceeding other pigments.
