There are powers yet unknown contained in green seaweed
The Rhamnan Laboratory focuses on the bioregulatory effects of rhamnan sulfate (Rhamnan), a water soluble dietary fiber extracted from Monostroma nitidum (aosa seaweed). We are conducting our research in partnership with universities in order to use this seaweed’s benefits to assist with current health.
The rhamnan sulfate found in the blessed seas of Ise-Shima is a natural resource that will greatly contribute to people’s lives. Our main mission is to show the possibilities of unknown seaweeds from Japan to the world.
