Exploring the Bioactive Potential of Cold-Water Macroalgae
The Science of the Shoreline The Atlantic coastline of Ireland represents one of the most diverse marine ecosystems in the world. Within this "blue laboratory," researchers are uncovering specific compounds known as bioactives . Unlike standard vitamins found in land-based vegetables, marine bioactives from species like Red Dulse have evolved to survive extreme tidal shifts and temperature changes. This evolutionary pressure results in a highly concentrated nutrient profile designed for...
