Terpenes are chemically akin to pine rosin -- which is a reducing agent and is used as a flux for soldering, and is a source of turpentine.

It's a strange "evolutionary quirk" to see terpenes show up in seaweed...

D-Limonene is another terpene, works pretty good for GERD. Its an interesting class of chemicals.
