Seagreens for Gut Health: Natural Detox and Digestive Support

Why Daily Detox Matters

Daily detoxification is key for optimal gut performance. Our modern environment and diets expose the body to multiple toxins, and supporting natural detox pathways helps maintain overall health. During weight management or metabolic programs, detox can be especially important, as fat breakdown releases stored toxins.

Seagreens seaweed naturally supports detoxification through its rich content of minerals, amino acids, antioxidants, vitamins, and polysaccharides.

How Seagreens Supports the Body

Seagreens acts in four main ways:

1. Cleansing the digestive system and metabolism: The polysaccharides, chlorophyll, and antioxidant vitamins help maintain healthy digestion, blood, lymph, and kidneys.

2. Binding toxins and heavy metals: Amino acids and minerals work with polysaccharides to support the elimination of unwanted compounds.

3. Balancing acid-alkaline levels: Seagreens is one of the most alkalising natural foods, supporting carbohydrate, protein, and fat metabolism, and protecting against acidosis.

4. Providing stable, natural iodine: Iodine, bound to protein ions and supported by selenium, nourishes the thyroid and hormonal systems, helping regulate multiple aspects of bodily function.

Improving Gut Health Naturally

Seagreens’ mucilaginous polysaccharides help restore intestinal villi and support beneficial gut bacteria. These polysaccharides aid the fibroblast growth factor activity that stimulates repair of the gut lining, while also enhancing mucosal protection.

Research at the University of Newcastle upon Tyne (2006) highlighted alginate — a key polysaccharide in Seagreens — for its role in supporting gut integrity, slowing digestion, and managing nutrient uptake.

Seagreens also exhibits antibacterial properties against common gut pathogens, including Candida albicans, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pyogenes, and E. coli, as well as certain bacteria linked to respiratory infections.

Seagreens as a Prebiotic

Seagreens is an effective natural prebiotic, providing both soluble and insoluble fibre to feed beneficial gut microbes. The polysaccharides pass through the digestive tract to nourish microbiota in the lower intestine, helping maintain healthy digestion and a balanced microbiome.

Colonic fermentation of Seagreens has been shown to support iodine bioavailability, making it particularly valuable for thyroid health. It also helps modulate blood sugar levels, supporting a lower glycaemic index for foods — beneficial in cases of obesity, diabetes, and in children with special needs.

Supporting Digestive Enzyme Activity

Seagreens stimulates secretion of pancreatic and digestive enzymes, while helping inhibit others that may impair gut function. This unique combination of nutrients makes it one of the most effective tools for natural gut support.
