Description
Records indicate that red marine algae, a form of Traditional Chinese Medicine dates back to approximately 300 B.C. As is the case with many such products it was recommended for a variety of conditions but modern science does support a possible role in the treatment of viral infections such as those caused by Epstein Barr Virus and the Herpes Simplex Virus—Type I (HSV-1)
Studies have elucidated the mechanism by which red marine algae may inactivate viruses. Many marine algae species contain complexes of “structural sulfated polysaccharides” which are the candidates for anti-viral activity. These compounds interfere with the early steps in viral replication by preventing the virus from attaching to a host cell. Viruses cannot multiply by themselves, they need to invade a host in order to replicate.
