Essential Elements:Why balanced Trace Minerals from Seaperia seaweed are Vital for Plant and Animal Health

It’s incredible to think that everything in existence — from the food we eat to the soil beneath our feet — is made from just 118 known elements. Five of these have only been discovered in the last two decades, and there are likely more yet to be found.

Many of these are what we call trace elements — needed only in minute amounts, yet absolutely essential for life. The balance of these tiny minerals determines whether a living system thrives or struggles. Too little causes deficiency; too much can be toxic.

Take selenium for example.
It’s vital for good health in both animals and humans — yet just a slight excess can be poisonous. In people, selenium deficiency is linked to conditions such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s diseases, muscular dystrophy, cystic fibrosis, and some cancers.
In livestock, it can cause white muscle disease and high calf mortality. For cattle, as little as one-tenth of a milligram of selenium a day can mean the difference between strong health and serious illness.

Other elements — like cobalt, chromium, vanadium, gold, silver, and platinum — are also needed in trace amounts. Even though science doesn’t fully understand the role of every one of them, that doesn’t make them less important. Nature has a way of knowing best.

Why Seaperia Is Nature’s Perfect Mineral Source

All living things need tiny amounts of every element in a natural, organic form — and that’s exactly what’s found in Seaperia Seaweed.

Over millions of years, the oceans have collected the first 92 naturally occurring elements from the land. Our Ascophyllum nodosum seaweed grows in the cold, nutrient-rich waters just below the Arctic Circle, where these minerals are most concentrated.

Seaperia contains at least 55 measurable trace elements, and likely many more. Because they’re part of a living organism, these minerals are organic and perfectly balanced — unlike synthetic supplements or inorganic fertilisers that simply pass through soil or animals without real benefit.

In biological terms, “organic” means these elements are bonded with carbon, making them naturally bioavailable to plants and animals. When applied as a foliar spray or fed as a meal supplement, Seaperia’s minerals are easily absorbed and put straight to use.

Balance Matters

No element works in isolation.
Think of calcium and magnesium — your body can’t use one without the other. The same principle applies in soil and livestock nutrition.

Seaperia provides this perfect mineral synergy. When you use it on crops or feed it to animals, you’re not just supplying a few trace minerals — you’re providing a balanced spectrum of life-giving elements, in forms that nature intended.

The Seaweed Advantage

Agronomists recommend copper or boron for crops.
Vets suggest selenium or sulphur for animals.
Doctors prescribe multivitamins for people.

And while they’re all right — there’s so much more to the story.
Seaweed doesn’t just correct known deficiencies; it nourishes with trace elements we may not even realise we’re missing.

So whether you’re caring for your soil, your stock or yourself — Seaperia delivers the complete, balanced nutrition that nature designed.

So to sum up...

• All life is built from the same elemental building blocks.
• Every element can be toxic if not in balance — even oxygen!
• Seaweed contains trace amounts of all essential elements in natural, organic form.
• Seaperia brings balance, vitality, and resilience to your plants and animals.
