"Israeli Tech Produces Natural Health Compounds from Super Seaweed in the Sea"

Researchers at Tel Aviv University and the Israel Oceanographic and Limnological Research Institute have developed an innovative and sustainable approach to seaweed cultivation that significantly increases its ability to produce beneficial natural compounds and materials. The technique, called "sustainable integrated aquaculture," combines seaweed with fish cultivation, upgrading the seaweed while at the same time helping to purify the seawater and minimizing negative environmental impacts. The enhanced seaweed has potential applications in the superfood, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries, and could be used to produce anti-cancer, anti-diabetic, anti-inflammatory, anti-viral, and antibiotic substances.
