Food scientists have produced and identified four different extracts from the seaweeds, standardised their composition and are now testing them on a range of drinks, including mineral water, orange juice and cold tea.
Potential toxilogical effects of the extracts and the test beverages are being studied through tests on rats. So far no toxicity has been discovered. Some of the extracts seem to have an anti-inflammatory effect.
