The benefits of vitamins in seaweed to human body

　　Vitamin C is related to more than 70 diseases such as septicemia, cancer, heart disease and weight loss. Many seaweeds, such as Porphyra yezoensis, Phaeophaga reticulata, Undaria pinnatifida and Enteromorpha prolifera, are rich in vitamin C, which can reach 3 ~ 10 mg/g dry weight of algae, not inferior to many vegetables and fruits.

　　Vitamin E is related to the treatment of more than 45 diseases of human body, including skin, muscle, hearing, vision, cancer and heart disease. This vitamin can protect the liver and avoid damage caused by excessive fatigue. In general, the content of vitamin E in algae is below 100 micrograms per gram of dry weight of algae, but it is as high as 600 micrograms per gram of dry weight of algae in fucus. Vitamins C and E also have antioxidant effects, which can prevent unsaturated fatty acids from being attacked by peroxides.

　　Nicotinic acid is also widely found in various seaweeds, and has its uses in treating arthritis, migraine and insomnia. Seaweed also contains biotin, which helps to regulate the metabolism of fat. Some algae also contain vitamins B1, B2, D, A and K, and these trace vitamins also have their specific functions.
