The intestinal barrier is critical in maintaining gut homeostasis and host health. dysfunction contributes to systemic diseases like inflammatory bowel disease, colorectal cancer, metabolic syndromes. This review summarizes the physicochemical properties of three main kinds brown seaweed polysaccharides (BSP), laminarin, fucoidan, alginate, along with their absorption metabolism intestine effec...
