Origin

Fucus Vesiculosus Extract comes from a brown seaweed - bladderwrack - found on the coasts of the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. First, the seaweed is harvested, cleaned, and dried to remove excess moisture. Then, it undergoes extraction using methods such as solvent extraction or supercritical fluid extraction to isolate the desired bioactive compounds. The resulting extract is then further processed, purified, and standardized to ensure consistency in its composition and efficacy for use in various formulations.
