With all due respect I’m not sure this is correct.
The product is “seapolynol” aka SEANOL-P, referring to the alcohol extract of ecklonia cava containing 90%+ phlorotannins.
So they are referring to 263mg of an extract

They are referring to seapolynol, which we got a sample of and tested in our lab. They don't sell it outside Korea anymore, but we set up a facility in Korea to do all this stuff. It had around 4% dieckol, where ours is hovering just below 1%. It's nowhere near 90% phlorotannins when you test it with real analytical methods. It's just that most suppliers are using UV-VIS, which has massive matrix interferences. So the product the EFSA tested was actually around 4X the actives as our native content.The issue is that the way the EFSA treats things isn't always logical. Our lawyers said that they would likely interpret that ruling as any Ecklonia cava product will be disallowed over 263mg/day, so we wanted to play it safe to start. We can get that exact extract if we wanted to, and I have beta tested it multiple times now. The issue is that the cost is much much higher. It's ~15X higher in cost, and that is before these new stupid tariffs. So our plan is to just do our own extraction here in the US instead.
