Description: PURPLE SEA MOSS scientifically known as Gracilaria is a genus of red algae (Rhodophyta) notable for its economic importance used as a food for humans and various species of shellfish. Various species within the genus are cultivated among the Caribbean for nutritional use. It has antioxidants called Anthocyanins, which are associated with other purple and blue vegetables and fruits.POWERFUL ESSENTIAL MINERALSIodine and magnesium for thyroid functionCollagen for skin, joints & connective tissuesHelps muscles recover after an intense workoutReduces mucus, inflammationBalances hormones, increases libidoUse sea moss gel in foods and skincare products. It helps to tighten the skin and minimize pores while adding minerals.Use the gel as a thickener in smoothies, soups, porridge, salad dressings, and stews.Anthocyanins are colored water-soluble pigments belonging to the phenolic group. The pigments are in glycosylated forms. Anthocyanins responsible for the colors, red, purple that you find in sea moss, and blue that are in fruits and vegetables. Berries, currants, grapes, and some tropical fruits have high anthocyanins content. Red to purplish blue-colored seaweed, leafy vegetables, grains, roots, and tubers are the edible plants that contain a high level of anthocyanins. Among the anthocyanin pigments, cyanidin-3-glucoside is the major anthocyanin found in most of the plants. The colored anthocyanin pigments have been traditionally used as a natural food colorant. The color and stability of these pigments are influenced by pH, light, temperature, and structure. In acidic condition, anthocyanins appear as red but turn blue when the pH increases. Chromatography has been largely applied in extraction, separation, and quantification of anthocyanins. Besides the use of anthocyanidins and anthocyanins as natural dyes, these colored pigments are potential pharmaceutical ingredients that give various beneficial health effects. Scientific studies, such as cell culture studies, animal models, and human clinical trials, show that anthocyanidins and anthocyanins possess antioxidative and antimicrobial activities, improve visual and neurological health, and protect against various non-communicable diseases. These studies confer the health effects of anthocyanidins and anthocyanins, which are due to their potent antioxidant properties. Different mechanisms and pathways are involved in the protective effects, including free-radical scavenging pathway, cyclooxygenase pathway, mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway, and inflammatory cytokines signaling.
