Phloroeckol
Ecklonia cava
A compound from brown seaweed. In animals its chemical family switches on two master regulators that drive the body's detox and heme-clearing enzymes and keep mitochondria in order; block those two regulators and the effect is canceled, proving the route.

Mice given brown-seaweed phlorotannins before eight units of radiation held significantly more surviving intestinal crypts, spared the wave of cell suicide; companion work cut death rates and restocked blood counts.
A brown kelp of Korea's Jeju coast: Ecklonia's phlorotannins slow sugar's release, lower blood lipids and ease the fat the body carries.
Seapolynol, a brown-seaweed polyphenol, reduced GPAT3 by more than 80% in developing fat cells and cut stored fat in mice.
