Seaweed in Health and Disease Prevention presents the potential usage of seaweed, macroalgae, and their extracts for enhancing health and disease. The book explores the possibilities in a comprehensive way, including outlining how seaweed can be used as a source of macronutrients and micronutrients, as well as nutraceuticals. The commercial value of seaweed for human consumption is increasing year-over-year, and some countries harvest several million tons annually. This text lays out the properties and effects of seaweeds and their use in the food industry, offering a holistic view of the ability of seaweed to impact or effect angiogenesis, tumors, diabetes and glucose control, oxidative stress, fungal infections, inflammation and infection, the gut, and the liver.

Dr. Joël Fleurence, PhD, is a Professor of Marine Biology and Biochemistry at Nantes University in the ISOMER laboratory. In 1985, he began his research career in the pharmaceutical industry at the French Company Roussel-Uclaf. In 1990, he was recruited by the Institute of Valorization of Seaweeds to lead research about the chemical composition and nutritional properties of macro-algae. He contributed to French regulation on marine algae used as sea vegetables. His research mainly focuses on the use of seaweed proteins in human nutrition. Dr. Ira A. Levine, PhD is a Professor Emeritus at the University of Southern Maine and the CEO of the Algae Foundation.
