A.

Q. Why use Sea Vegetables in Oceana? A. Ninety-two (92) nutritional elements have been found in the vegetation that grows and lives in the sea. It is well documented that our land is becoming increasingly depleted of nutrients and our crops now supply few of the many nutrients required for good health. For many people, the nutrient-dense seas surrounding us have become a vital source of food and nutritional support. Sea vegetation is known to be among the richest sources of organic minerals.
