Agar: The ocean’s Nutrient for joints
ask a buffalo
Mother Nature always has many paths that can lean toward health. As a vegetarian I am always looking for plants support for health which is more than one blog’s subject. Also if you have more veggie ideas for amino acids let me know.
Here’s a few links, and email reply to Dr Dan’s COLLAGEN (previous post)
Hi Dan,
A well known herbalist form GAIA herbs, gave a talk last year. He pointed out as an aside that red algae helps cartilage grow a braided structure (3 strands) which is more like it’s original form. Often when cartilage is torn is repairs in in two layers on top of one another (not as strong).
Agar turns out to be a red algae, thus also suggesting it is high in DHA. Joint food. Read:

I take both. Also I ask you: What doe whales, fish, and sharks eat? They are all full of cartilage, hmm and tendons? I’m sure you won’t miss the mention that agar also is a good source of vitamin B5.
Thank you for the collagen send as I would not have done this review on agar if you had done been so kind. Mary
My real search includes ways we can generate new growth, and keep cell generation and communication healthy and active. Horsetail, cell food, and some super foods seem to suggest these possibilities. The body will heal with enough nutrients, energy, and nuturing environment.
However, when you are in pain, and the body is sending out numerous messages that life is grumbling, find supplements and foods that will jumpstart the healing. Also see some good alternative practioners like my D.O.M., Daniel Cobb 505.424.9528 (Santa Fe NM)
