    The red marrine macro algae available from Seatech include Dulse, porphyra, Dumontia, Giantina. Various Red Marine Algae (Rhodophyta) have been shown to have strong anti-viral properties. The primary mechanisms of action seem to involve viral replication and to function via an extra-cellular mechanism. Direct scientific evidence obtained from in vitro experiments indicates that one or more components in the algae (probably sulfated polysaccharides) block the binding of viral particles to specific sites on the outer membrane of potential target cells. Binding of viral particles to the cellular membrane sites is an essential step in viral replication and spread of the infection. In the presence of RMA, the spread are of viral particles to new cells is blocked and the infective process is essentially limited. Symptoms of viral infection minimized and recovery is accelerated. Cold sores resulting from Herpes labialis that would normally increase to form lesions 1 cm in diameter may stop at a few millimeters in the presence of RMA. Cold sores seem to disappear within 24 hours from the time of administration of RMA while untreated sores may persist for several days. The active agent present in RMA seems to be effective when either ingested or when applied topically. There is additional evidence that suggests that some RMA may have a second mechanism for antiviral activity. A component(s) present in RMA may interfere with viral replication at an intracellular site which is yet unidentified. The result is that the infective process is inhibited. Finally, there is some preliminary evidence that RMA may demonstrate immune-modulating activity.
