Let's talk microalgae, its health potential and cultivation with Dr. Bar-Gil

Have you ever heard that we only know ten percent of our oceans? For instance, there are about
500.000 known strains of #microalgae and between 800.000 and 1 Mio. more strains that we don’t yet know.

Microalgae produce a great number of molecules with #health-beneficial properties. They could relieve pain, alleviate inflammation, or boost our gut microbiome.

The Algae4IBD project was created to tap into this health source. The involved scientists are studying 150 different algae to learn about their health potential. The aim: to find algae molecules that can prevent and treat pain, inflammation, and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).

In this video, Dr. Amikam Bar-Gil from Yemoja Ltd, a microalgae specialist working in the Algae4IBD project, talks about #algae, how to cultivate them and harness their health potential.
