| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Dr. Berg's Healthy Keto and Interminute Fasting podcast, where Dr. Berg takes you on the journey for the truth about getting healthy and losing healthy weights. Now, I've talked about omega-3 fatty acids being in salmon, coddive oil, seafood, fatty fish, |
| 0:28.6 | that type of thing. |
| 0:29.8 | But you can also get it from microalgae, which is basically marine algae. |
| 0:35.2 | So let's talk about exactly what that is. You have all this sea vegetation called |
| 0:40.5 | seaweed. It's a combination of plants and algae. There's three main colors. You have red, brown, |
| 0:48.2 | and green. The brown is the sea kelp. Sea kelp is the largest. Sea kelp can grow basically 150 feet, and it's grown only in |
| 0:58.2 | salt water, not in lakes or ponds. It's grown on rocky coastlines, and there's no roots in |
| 1:06.0 | sea kelp, like you would normally see in a plant that's on soil. It has something called holdfast. And it's sort of a |
| 1:12.0 | structure at the bottom of the plant that just attaches onto rocks so it's in a fixed state, but there's |
| 1:17.9 | no roots. So it's going to get its nutrition through the leaf as well as the sun. It's called |
| 1:24.3 | photosynthesis. And depending on how deep the sea vegetation is from the |
| 1:29.2 | surface of the ocean will determine the color of the seaweed. What's very unique about marine algae |
| 1:37.1 | is it's loaded with DHA and EPA. These are omega-3 fatty acids. And they don't even have to be converted, like walnuts, for example, have |
| 1:47.1 | aLA that has to be converted to EPA and DHA. Well, you have active DHA and EPA directly in marine algae. |
| 1:56.7 | You also have Taurine, which is great for the cardiovascular system, the central nervous |
| 2:02.8 | system, the retina, different parts of the nervous system, and it's hepatoprategic. |
| 2:08.9 | It's good for the liver. |
| 2:11.0 | Now marine allergy is rich in vitamin A, beta-carotene, the precursor, not retinal. |
| 2:16.4 | Vitamin B1, B2, B3, B9, that's biotin, vitamin C, vitamin E, tons of potassium, and tons of magnesium. |
| 2:28.4 | And it has a lot of phytonutrients, like carotenoids. |
| 2:32.3 | The biggest one, which is very, very powerful, called astazanthin. |
| 2:36.0 | This is probably one of the most powerful antioxidants. Some people get this one as a |
