Description:
Kelp Extract is a natural seaweed-derived ingredient obtained from brown algae such as Laminaria species. It is widely used as a raw material in dietary supplement, functional food, and nutraceutical formulations. The extract is characterized by its content of naturally occurring polysaccharides and carotenoids, including fucoidan and fucoxanthin, depending on specification.
This kelp extract is produced from selected marine algae using water-based or ethanol-assisted extraction processes. The product is supplied as a fine brown powder with consistent quality, suitable for further formulation and processing. Specifications can be customized according to client requirements, including different concentration ranges of fucoidan or fucoxanthin.
