Question

what happen if humans swallow sporopollenin?

Answer 1

hello mate

The SEC(sporopollenin exine capsules) is made from a

unique polymer, known as sporopollenin, which possess

polycarotenoid like characteristics and is constructed

only of carbon,hydrogen and oxygen. As such it is

extremely tough, resistant to acid and alkali degradation

and has been shown to pass unchanged though the

digestive system of animals. To produce SEC, the spores

from Lycopodium clavatum are initially emptied of all

their genetic/protein material. The empty SEC can then

be loaded with the “active”, for example fish oil or a

vitamin. The filled SEC is a powder, which could

potentially be consumed by the individualas a

supplement or incorporated into a food or drink by a

manufacturer to produce a functional food.
