description Ulva Lactuca, commonly known as sea lettuce, is a green seaweed species that has attracted significant attention due to its remarkable potential as a prolific source of bioactive compounds. This comprehensive review explores the various extraction techniques harnessed to isolate these bioactive compounds from Ulva Lactuca while shedding light on the diverse health applications these compounds encompass. Within the review, considerable emphasis is placed on detailing the plethora of bioactive compounds inherent to Ulva Lactuca, spanning polysaccharides, phenolic compounds, fatty acids, pigments, minerals, and vitamins. Furthermore, a comprehensive analysis of the potential health benefits of these bioactive constituents is provided, encompassing their roles in antioxidant activity, anti-inflammatory properties, cardiovascular health, neuroprotection, and skin health enhancement. Addressing the broader scope of this review, significant attention is given to the challenges that currently permeate this field of research, including issues related to sustainability, standardization of extraction processes, formulation strategies, and avenues for further exploration. This examination culminates in the realization that Ulva Lactuca is a promising and versatile reservoir of bioactive ingredients, potentially revolutionising various industries such as food, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics. Consequently, the future promises exciting prospects for the continued exploration and exploitation of Ulva Lactuca's wealth of bioactive compounds.
