Our liquid seaweed extracts are produced from sustainably harvested Ecklonia maxima, a giant brown seaweed species which grows in abundance at the South-West Coast of South Africa.
Ecklonia maxima grows in the nutrient-rich Benguela current and is carefully treated during the whole production process to ensure that all our liquid seaweed extracts retain essential performance enhancing compounds.
