Episode 5: Sabrena MacKenzie – Seaweed Science, A Natural Breakthrough in Skincare and Wellness
In this episode of the Enjoy Life Healthier™ podcast, host Jason Kam speaks with Sabrina McKenzie, a seaweed biochemistry expert and founder of SeaChange Biochemistry. They discuss the untapped potential of marine-based compounds in human health, the science behind brown seaweed’s unique bioactives, and how Sabrina’s patented extraction method is revolutionizing the supplement and skincare industries.
Sabrina shares her journey from working in Canada’s National Research Council to launching her own company focused on sustainable seaweed innovation. She highlights breakthrough clinical research on PolyC®, a seaweed-derived ingredient that’s shown rapid immune activation, antioxidant protection, and even stem cell stimulation when taken orally. Topically, the compound has led to dramatic improvements in wrinkles, hydration, and age spots—offering a powerful, all-natural solution in the anti-aging space.
