What is Fucoidan?

[What is fucoidan?]

Fucoidan is a type of water-soluble dietary fiber found in the slimy part on the surface of seaweed.

This slimy component has the function of protecting the body from the outside world,

It also contains a lot of vitamins and minerals, which are essential for daily health.

This is a valuable ingredient that can only be obtained in about 1g from 100g of mozuku seaweed.

[High molecular weight fucoidan]

Fucoidan is a polymeric component that is connected like a chain at the molecular level.

Fucose and sulfate groups combine to retain moisture and create a slimy, gel-like texture.

When it becomes a low molecular weight substance, its properties change.

To unleash the inherent power of fucoidan, it is important that it is a high molecular weight substance.

[Made with 100% pure Okinawan mozuku seaweed]

Okinawa mozuku seaweed is grown in the clear and beautiful waters of Okinawa.

Compared to other seaweeds, it has a high fucoidan content and low levels of co-contaminants such as alginic acid.

It is an excellent raw material for extracting high-purity fucoidan.

Okinawa mozuku, which has absorbed minerals from the sea, contains fucoidan and other

It is rich in nutrients such as dietary fiber, vitamins, calcium, and magnesium.

Ryukyu Fucoidan is made from 100% Okinawan mozuku seaweed.

Fucoidan is a source of power for daily health support and maintenance.

In 1996, Dr. Derick DeSilva of the JFK Medical Center

"Fucoidan, a sticky component of seaweed, induces apoptosis in cancer cells."

They published a study titled:

Research is currently being conducted into its effects on lifestyle-related diseases, immune system strengthening, and cancer prevention, and it is an ingredient that is attracting attention.

Additionally, there has been a wealth of evidence reported in research results and academic presentations in human intervention trials showing a tendency for immunity to be enhanced.
