Known as the Japanese people’s “secret” to a long and healthy life.
Fucoidan is an active component of certain types of Brown Seaweed.
The function of Fucoidan is to protect Seaweed from bacteria, infections and viruses.
Purported Uses:
- To boost the immune system
Several human studies suggest it may stimulate immune functioning and boost antibody production after vaccination. - To reduce inflammation
Lab studies suggest that fucoidan has anti-inflammatory properties. Human studies are needed. - To lower blood pressure
A study in overweight and obese adults suggests that fucoidan used over a sustained period may decrease blood pressure and “bad” cholesterol levels. Confirming studies are needed. - To prevent blood clots
A study in humans suggests it slows the production of blood clots. It may also increase bleeding risk with blood-thinning medications.
DO NOT TAKE IF:
You are taking anticoagulants such as warfarin and heparin: Because fucoidan can slow the blood-clotting process, it may increase bleeding risk when used with these drugs.
