Our Seaweed Amino Concentrate blends three of the most productive raw materials in organic horticulture: Ascophyllum nodosum, a cold-water kelp from the North Atlantic; Sargassum, a warm-water brown macroalga; and a protein hydrolysate rich in free amino acids. Ascophyllum is the most widely used seaweed biostimulant of all, valued because the harsh intertidal zone it grows in forces the plant to load its tissue with protective compounds — the same compounds that make it so useful on land. Its extract is a natural source of phytohormones, polysaccharides and readily absorbed minerals, and pairing it with a protein hydrolysate stacks a concentrated dose of amino acids and short peptides on top.
That mix is what makes this a biostimulant rather than a straight fertiliser. Rather than pushing a heavy N-P-K load into the soil, it delivers small, biologically active quantities of the signals a plant uses to regulate itself — auxins, cytokinins and gibberellins from the seaweed, plus betaines and mannitol that help plants hold up under drought and osmotic stress. The amino acids and peptides carry a mild hormone-like activity, boost nitrogen uptake, and chelate minerals like iron and zinc so they're taken up more efficiently through roots and leaves. Working with the plant's biology this way, a modest rate delivers steadier growth, stronger roots, better fruit set, more vibrant colour and aroma, and real resilience under heat, cold or transplant shock — without overloading soft growth.
