Organic Algae Extract

Organic Algae Extract is derived from various types of algae, which are aquatic organisms. The extract is typically produced by processing the algae to isolate specific compounds, often using water or other solvents. The resulting extract can contain a range of beneficial compounds depending on the algae source and extraction method.

Manufacturers use Organic Algae Extract for its nutritional properties and as a natural source of color or thickening agents. It is often found in health-focused food products like protein shakes, energy drinks, and powdered supplements. Its ability to add nutrients or improve texture makes it a versatile ingredient in these applications.

Organic Algae Extract is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. Algae are a source of nutrients like omega-3 fatty acids and vitamins. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated various algae-derived substances. Evidence suggests that consuming algae-based foods as part of a balanced diet can contribute to overall health, but specific health claims require more research.
