Scientists say they’ve found a way to turn seaweed into “super seaweed” by increasing its health and medicinal value, according to a report from SWNS.
The researchers are hoping the “boosted” seaweed can be used in “the superfood, drug and cosmetic industries of the future,” the British news service said.
Scientists from Tel Aviv University and the Israel Oceanographic and Limnological Research Institute managed to double the seaweed’s antioxidants, triple the amount of natural sunscreen and boost unique protective pigments of great medical value ten-fold.
