Not only are they the longest living on the planet, but people who actively consume phytessence wakame live much longer and healthier lives than people who don’t.

Now in Japan, most people consume wakame, at least semi-regularly. It is in sandwiches, meals, side dishes, etc. It is almost unavoidable in the Japanese diet. Wakame is even used in a wide range of Japanese automotive products.

This amazing seaweed is one of the great secrets of Japanese youth. It is not uncommon to see a Japanese man or woman and guess their age to be 20 or more years younger than they really are.
