Seanol® is a formula of specific, purified compounds that are extracted from brown seaweeds. The compounds have been selected for their bioactivity and safety, which were tested through numerous human trials.

  • Natural ingredient
  • 4 human trials reported no side-effects (100%)
  • Purified to remove any iodine, heavy metals and harmful substances

Sea polyphenols are different from polyphenols that are found in terrestrial plants (for example resveratrol, flavonoids and Gingko biloba extracts). Terrestrial and marine polyphenols belong to the same family of substances, but their chemical structures and characteristics are different, such that sea polyphenols have unique effects and potency. Sea polyphenols can help get rid of harmful molecules from the body (ROS), as well as boost the natural activities of cells. Seanol® contains various polyphenols, some that dissolve in water (hydrophilic), and some that dissolve in oils and fats (lipophilic). Different polyphenols have different health benefits according to their chemical structures, so selecting specific sea polyphenols for different health concerns can help boost their effects on cells even further.

Botamedi Inc. possesses the unique patented technology to extract and purify marine polyphenol compounds. Through international research and extensive studies on the effects of sea polyphenols on various kinds of cells and tissues, different sea polyphenols have been classified into polyphenols that (1) can cross the blood-brain barrier and support brain cells, (2) can be absorbed into the dermis layer of skins, (3) can help support blood vessel cells and promote blood circulation, and (4) can alleviate inflammation in all kinds of cells. By selecting the right sea polyphenols for specific purposes, Seanol® can be used for example in health supplements, in advanced skincare products, in food additives to improve the freshness of ingredients, in eye drops to protect the eyes and eyesight, in toothpaste to relieve gum inflammation, in shampoos to revitalize the scalp and fight hair loss, and in hygiene products for its antimicrobial properties.
