Seaweed extracts are key ingredients in many modern bio-stimulant products, widely recognized for their richness in polysaccharides, minerals, and certain vitamins. While the benefits of seaweed have been known for biocompatibility, it is only in recent times that their bioactive compounds have gained scientific attention. These extracts contain phytochemicals such as polysaccharides, lipids, and polyphenols, which possess antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral properties. Because of these properties, fucoidan extracts are of growing interest in nutraceutical, pharmaceutical, and medical applications (e.g., nutritional supplements, wound healing, skincare, periodontal therapy, etc.).
