Thalasaoterapy - SPA Resort

Marine algae receive their noursishment directly from seawater, absorbing and storing through osmosis nutritional elements found in their immediate enviroment. Most contain the vitamins A, B (complex), C, D, E, K and folic acid; some species are particularly rich in carotene, vitamin B12 and vitamin E.

Since ancient times, marine algae have been used for therapeutic purposes. In classic Chinese literature they are often mentioned in connection with their antibiotic, tumor-fighting and other curative capacities.

Today, marine algae are known to have important antioxidant, preventative and anti-viral properties - all useful in retarding the skin's natural aging process.
