Ecklonia cava, a type of brown algae seaweed, can reduce nerve damage and may have benefits in preventing Parkinson’s disease, according to a study published in Nutrients in June.
The type of seaweed, known as “kajime” in Japanese, is a member of the kelp family and is found along the Pacific Ocean’s warm coastlines. Researchers analyzed the effect of the seaweed’s polyphenols and antioxidants in preventing Parkinson’s in cell and animal models.
