Algae are a diverse group of aquatic organisms found in various environments, including oceans, lakes, and rivers. They can be grown in several cultivation systems, including open ponds, closed photobioreactors, and hybrid systems. They are a sustainable and renewable source of biomass that can be produced using non-arable land and saltwater. They can also be cultivated using carbon dioxide, which can help minimize greenhouse gas emissions. They are rich in protein, carbohydrates, omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins, minerals, chlorophyll, phycocyanin, carotenoids, polysaccharides, and other essential nutrients. They can produce numerous products that are made from seaweed, chlorella, and kelp. Algae products are high in protein and contain necessary amino acids, which aid the formation of enzymes in the human body. They offer antihypertensive, anticoagulant, antioxidant, antiproliferative, and immunostimulatory properties. Their consumption aids in increasing dopamine, preventing diseases, promoting healthy skin, and healing wounds.
