LOW GENOTOXICITY OF ORGANIC SEA WATER EXTRACTS FROM COVEÑAS (SUCRE, COLOMBIA)

Natural sea water is used as a nutritive and therapeutic element in Ibero-American countries, and commercial, refined sea water as a nutritional complement in developed countries. Although treated sea water has no toxicity, as demonstrated by previous sea water ingestion studies, consumption of near...
