Super Seaweed Supplements
Where sea meets science
Using our knowledge on the outstanding properties of seaweed, VOYA have developed a unique range of seaweed supplements. Our lives today are much more hectic than ever before, enhancing a good diet and lifestyle with supplements can help us on a path to achieve complete wellness from the inside out.
Discover a premium range of health and wellbeing dietary supplements developed in partnership with leading nutritionists and scientists. We recognised the benefits of feeding the skin from within and the important role food supplements can play in enhancing skin, health, and wellbeing.
The concept for our seaweed dietary supplements began in 2016 and was born from our love of the sea, our unique knowledge of seaweed and its countless benefits for the human body. VOYA supplements have been created following years of extensive and proven research and are the most scientifically advanced, active seaweed supplements to be launched onto the international wellness and dietary supplement market.
Formulated using a proprietary blend of scientifically selected seaweeds, our exclusive marine complex Orplex™ and specially selected vitamins and minerals, they will enhance your health & wellbeing from the inside out.
Research
To develop the most advanced and active seaweed supplements on the market, our scientists worked closely with the experts from the Nutrition Innovation Centre for Food and Health (NICHE) in Ulster University, Coleraine.
To ensure that only the finest seaweeds were used in the formulation of our supplements an in-depth study was undertaken. Our resident nutritionist reviewed over 300 scientific papers on the composition of different seaweeds. The detail outlined in the process of this study was so advanced, a scientific paper was produced and submitted to a peer-reviewed scientific journal. We are proud to say that the study was accepted by Nutrition Reviews and is due to be published in April 2019. It will be one of the most comprehensive review papers ever published on edible seaweeds and their benefits to health.
Following 2 years of research and development, we used the knowledge gathered to create our trademarked unique marine formula Orplex™.
Laboratory studies
While working on the review, we collaborated with Shannon Applied Biotechnology Centre based at the Institute of Technology Tralee. Laboratory tests were carried out on extracts from the two types of seaweeds used in VOYA supplements (Laminaria digitata and Fucus serratus) to determine their antioxidant activity. The results show that Fucus serratus has significantly greater antioxidant activity (approx. 8 times greater) than the control (Vitamin E).
The Orplex™ Blend
All VOYA supplements include our unique marine formula Orplex™. This cutting-edge formulation has been created in consultation with our resident nutritionist and contains specially selected types of seaweed to help improve well-being.
Seaweed, an organically rich source of iodine contains numerous minerals, vitamins and beneficial ingredients absorbed from the sea, making it the perfect solution for replenishing the body's minerals, and protecting skin against free radicals.
The combination of these ingredients formulated in Orplex™ is what gives VOYA supplements its unique offering.
FUCUS SERRATUS SEAWEED
This amazing plant survives by filtering the ocean for nutrients and as a result, amasses a huge amount of minerals and vitamins. Used for hundreds of years in seaweed baths, the oils from this seaweed have antioxidant properties.
LAMINARIA DIGITATA SEAWEED
This is a dark brown seaweed that can grow to over two metres in length. It is commonly eaten in Asian cuisine, where it is known as Kombu. Among the several vitamins and minerals found in Laminaria digitata it is particularly rich in iodine which is contributes to the normal thyroid function and normal production of thyroid hormone and contributes to normal cognitive function, energy metabolism, and maintenance of the skin.
