Kappa-Selenocarrageenan

1, A new High-Content of selenium nutritive fortifier made of natural red alga. 2, National patent 3, high-tech products

Kappa-Selenocarrageenan is a new High-Content of selenium nutritive fortifier made of natural red alga. It uses the polysaccharide natural sulfate(k-carrageenan)as the raw material. Instead of the sulfate, the selenite combines with the C4 -hydro-D-galactose nuit. Part of the selenite open the ether bond of the 3,6-inner driving drum ether - D-galactose nuit and link to the C3 potential simultaneously. The molecular structure as below:

  

Based on the Polysaccharide selenite, The technology of Marine Bioactive Substances Transformation is researched and manufactured by the famous marine biologists in China. It is identified as the Advanced Scientific and Technological Achievements by the State Oceanic Administration of PRC. It won the second prize of National Science and Technology Progress. The technology has obtained national patent. ( patent number: ZL 00 1 11262.7 ).It won the golden prize in Hong Kong International Patent Technology Exposition 2001.The technology also passed the high-tech products identification.

PRODUCTS FEATURES

1,non-toxic: by the acute toxicity testing: LD50 on mouses is not tested; MIC more than 16g/Kg;belongs to non-toxic products.

2,High biological activity: introduct a selenite into a  Molecular. selenium is quadrivalence and in intermediate valence conditions. It can be both oxidized and deoxidized and has the extensive physiology function. The result of antitumor test :tumor inhibitory rate is 67.77%.

3,Lower price: take capsule for example : the cost of using Kappa-Selenocarrageenan is 0.001 $. (the content of selenium  was 20μg per granule)

Health Care Efficacy

1.Selenium can prevent cancer cells from increasing, and restrain the energy metabolism of the cancer cells;  selenium can also improve the immunologic function of the cancerous persons, and prevent canceration.

2.Selenium is an important factor to prevent liver necrosis;  selenium can also prevent and wipe out hepatitis and alcoholic cirrhosis.

3.Selenium can prevent cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. It can protect the heart injury caused by anoxia, and stabilize the integrality of myocardium to markedly improve the index of myocardial function and the contractility of scathing myocardium;  selenium can cut down blood fat and prevent fatty liver; It can also cut down blood viscosity and prevent thrombus.

4.Selenium can protect pancreatic island, and it can also prevent and wipe out diabetic complication .

5.The anti-aging ability of selenium is 500 times of Vitamin E.

6.Effect of selenium supplementation can improve the function of photoreceptors in the eye to improve visual acuity.

7.Selenium has a strong ability of antioxidation, and  selenium supplement can help to clear the body waste.

8.Selenium has a protective effect on red blood cells and it can improve the oxygen carrying capacity of red blood cells.

Selenium supplement can wipe out the heavy metal ions and directly eliminate the harmful heavy ions which induce cancer in the body.
