The Uniqueness of Seaweeds
Cold-water North Atlantic seaweeds are the hardiest plants on earth. Their daily life cycle is unbelievably stressful. As the tides ebb and flow, they are alternately, at low tide, completely exposed on the rocks they’re attached to, and at high tide, completely submerged in salt water. In the summer they withstand 90º F air temperatures when exposed, then quickly tolerate 50º F water temperatures when submerged. In winter, air temperatures plunge below -10º F, and water temperatures dip below freezing. They go through these cycles twice a day every day of their lives. Through these extremes, these seaweeds manage to feed themselves entirely through their foliage.
The “holdfast” — the system akin to roots by which seaweeds attach themselves to rocks — develops an abundance of the hormone cytokinin to secure the seaweed. Guarantee® is one our proprietary seaweed extracts. Guarantee’s primary benefits are to build plants’ roots and improve stress tolerance — compliments of the cytokinins. Among other benefits, cytokinins stimulate and sustain cell division, particularly in root tissue. When applied regularly through the growing season, Guarantee supplies the growth hormones plants can’t make for themselves when under seasonal stress.
The Uniqueness Of Our Seaweed Extracts
We extract the contents of seaweed cells extracted from the seaweeds as gently as we can. The active ingredients in seaweed are vulnerable to heat and are damaged by most conventional processing. Our extraction process is the least destructive of any because we do not dissolve seaweeds into a solution. We have been processing seaweed as the Ocean Organics company in Waldodoro, Maine since 1972. Quality means everything to us.
Guarantee contains naturally-occurring:
- Hormones (cytokinins and auxins)
- Amino acids (17 of them!)
- Vitamins
- All the major and minor nutrients
- All the trace elements and minerals essential for plant health and growth
Our kelp extract has been shown by independent research to increase:
- Plant health
- Photosynthesis
- Chlorophyll content
- Plant antioxidant levels
- Cell wall strength
- Stress tolerance
- Resistance to diseases
- Drought tolerance
- Root mass and length
