PureSea® unique seaweed ingredients are a natural vegan wholefood source of iodine, an essential nutrient and integral component of the thyroid hormones. Iodine mediates the effects of thyroid on brain development and other functions in the body, including metabolism, nervous system, development in children and healthy skin.*
Demonstrated in independent clinical trials, PureSea® seaweed releases iodine in a sustained way, with longer retention in the body compared to artificial sources (potassium iodide) often used in food supplements.
To achieve an EFSA claim on cognitive health, only 100mg of PureSea® are needed per serving, allowing multiple product concepts and ingredient combinations. And with PureSea® Protect, almost any application is possible due to the proprietary micro-encapsulation of the powder that results in a white, odourless and highly dispersible powder, with proven targeted nutrient release during digestion.
Discover more about PureSea® and Cognitive Health by downloading the new PureSea® Cognitive Science Review in our download area. Please remember to login as a registered user before accessing the product page. Contact us for more information.

Four years ago, researchers at Swinburne University conducted a study investigating the effects of Longvida® curcumin on cognition and mood in a healthy older population (aged 60-80). After 4 weeks of administration, they found that daily Longvida® (400 mg) supplementation led to significant improvements in cognitive function in as little as one hour. This 2015 "NutraIngredients Research of the Year" winner included measures for memory, attention, fatigue, stress, and mood and prompted researchers to evaluate cognitive impact after long term supplementation with a second study. The follow-up study aimed to determine whether similar effects were evident following 12 weeks of taking Longvida.
We are excited to share that the much-awaited results are in; according to Scholey et al., this follow-up study “confirms that Longvida® improves aspects of mood and working memory in a healthy older cohort”. The study is still awaiting publication but initial details can be read in the scientific summary, downloadable here.
