Description
Carrageenan is a natural polymer which predominantly available in red seaweeds. Carrageenan is an effective drug carrier to deliver curcumin in cancer cells and to induce apoptosis. Carrageenan serves as a potential inflammatory agent that magnifies existing intestinal inflammation.
Carrageenan is made from parts of various red seaweeds in the Rhodophyceae family. It's commonly used to thicken foods, but it has no nutritional value.
Carrageenan has been added to processed foods since the 1950s. Carrageenan might also help fight infections.
People use carrageenan for cough, common cold, and other conditions, but there is no good scientific evidence to support any uses.
