Ocean Treasure, a great source for Fucoxanthin

The current sea vegetation products on the market promote kelp and fucoidan, and not much else. While those are amazing nutrients Ocean Treasure contains these and so many more. In addition to kelp and fucoidan, Ocean Treasure is rich in Fucoxanthin.

 

Why Are Scientists Exploring Fucoxanthin

Weight Loss
Fucoxanthin is being explored for weight loss. So far, only animal studies have been done. In animal studies, researchers have found that fucoxanthin (isolated from wakame) was associated with abdominal fat reduction in obese mice and rats. Animals lost five to 10% of their body weight. No human evidence yet supports these effects.

Although it's not fully understood how fucoxanthin works, Animal models suggest a potential role in UCP1 activation, which increases the rate at which abdominal fat is burned. Abdominal fat, also called white adipose tissue, is the kind of fat that surrounds the vital organs and is linked to heart disease and diabetes. Though human research is still lacking, animal models also suggest that Fucoxanthin may stimulate the production of DHA, one of the essential omega-3 fatty acids often found in fatty fish such as salmon.

Although it's promising and already a popular nutritional supplement, more research is needed to determine if fucoxanthin will work in the same way in humans.

Diabetes
Fucoxanthin has also been found in animal studies to decrease insulin and blood glucose levels. Researchers hypothesize that the metabolic effect may be because fucoxanthin appears to promote the formation of DHA (the omega-3 fatty acid found in fish oil). DHA is thought to increase insulin sensitivity, improve triglycerides and reduce LDL ("bad") cholesterol.

Cancer
Preliminary research in test tubes suggests that fucoxanthin may have anti-tumor effects. No studies have looked at whether this holds true in humans or if taken orally. It's far too early for fucoxanthin to be used as a complementary treatment for cancer.

Besides fucoxanthin, Ocean Treasure contains the other glyco nutrients, not to mention ALL of the necessary daily vitamins and minerals, plus thousands of phyto-chemicals.
