Dr. Marcus Webb: Building a Trusted Wellness Brand in Pontiac
A kitchen table in Pontiac became the starting point for Dr. Marcus Webb to build something much bigger.
When Webb’s mother was diagnosed with cancer in 2019, he did not take chances. He studied the research on sea moss, compared suppliers, and examined safety and quality before giving her a single serving. That same standard became the foundation for SeaPharms.
Today, the Pontiac-based wellness brand is making its way onto retail shelves, including Meijer and Fresh Thyme Market. But Webb’s journey was never simply about putting a product on a shelf. It was about building trust in an industry where consumers are often left sorting through claims without knowing what to believe.
Webb chose a different path: document the quality, verify the product, and build with the same care he would give his own family. His story is a reminder that strong brands can begin in unexpected places, with a personal reason to build and the discipline to keep going.
And for the next founder looking at that shelf, SeaPharms represents something bigger: proof that a trusted consumer brand can be built from Pontiac, one decision at a time.
