Sea vegetables are scientifically recognised as a food with a high nutritional value.
Since 1998, ALGAMAR has cooperated with the Spanish National Research Council (Department of Metabolism and Nutrition) and the University of Santiago de Compostela (Bromatology) and Complutense University of Madrid (Pharmacy) in carrying out various studies of the potential of native edible sea vegetables.
This is confirmed by research scientists who have studied Algamar's sea vegetables in Spain.
