  Ecklonia kurome (Japanese: 黑布 (kurome), Chinese: 鹅掌菜) is a brown alga species in the genus Ecklonia found in the Sea of Japan.
  
  The phlorotannins eckol, phlorofucofuroeckol A and 8,8'-bieckol can be found in Ecklonia kurome.
  
  An oligosaccharide extract from Ecklonia kurome called GV-971 [zh] is approved in China for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease, but the evidence is highly dubious.
