Potential Health Benefits of Deep Sea Water: A Review

الملخص EN

Deep sea water (DSW) commonly refers to a body of seawater that is pumped up from a depth of over 200 m.

It is usually associated with the following characteristics: low temperature, high purity, and being rich with nutrients, namely, beneficial elements, which include magnesium, calcium, potassium, chromium, selenium, zinc, and vanadium.

Less photosynthesis of plant planktons, consumption of nutrients, and organic decomposition have caused lots of nutrients to remain there.

Due to this, DSW has potential to become a good source for health.

Research has proven that DSW can help overcome health problems especially related to lifestyle-associated diseases such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, obesity, cancer, and skin problems.

This paper reviews the potential health benefits of DSW by referring to the findings from previous researches.
