Fucoidan is a unique polysaccharide component in brown algae plants (such as kelp), so it is also called "Kelp extract". In its natural state, it presents a viscous liquid, which looks like sugar gum, so it is called "sugar gum". According to the composition and structure of kelp extract. This is a polysaccharide ester component containing sulfuric acid groups, which has the biological activity of inhibiting the growth of tumor cells. Therefore, the concentration of sulfate groups is an important criterion for identifying the quality of kelp extract. Fucoidan sulfate, due to its significant pharmacological activity in clinical trials, has received great attention from the academic community. With the deepening of scientific research, It has been proven to have significant therapeutic effects on many diseases.
The function of fucoidan:
1. Prevent and resist gastric ulcers.
2. Inhibition of inflammation.
3. Improve bowel function: Because brown algae are rich in water-soluble dietary fiber, it is easy to feel full after entering the human body. It can avoid excessive food intake. It can also promote intestinal peristalsis and defecation, prevent constipation, hemorrhoids, and colorectal cancer. It increases satiety and becomes many alternative foods.
4. Reduce fat accumulation:
Scientists have discovered that this ingredient can activate UCP1 in organisms, and can convert heat energy into energy consumption, thereby inhibiting fat accumulation.
5. Regulate and activate immunity:
Current studies have confirmed that It has anti-cancer effects. It can strengthen the activity of immune cells such as macrophages and natural killer cells, thereby enhancing immunity, and strengthening the inhibition and attack power against cancer cells.
