Why Do People Use Fucoxanthin

Weight Loss
Fucoxanthin is being explored for weight loss. So far, only animal studies have been done. Japanese researchers have found that fucoxanthin (isolated from wakame) promotes the loss of abdominal fat in obese mice and rats. Animals lost five to 10% of their body weight.

Although it's not fully understood how fucoxanthin works, it appears to target a protein called UCP1 that increases the rate at which abdominal fat is burned. Abdominal fat, also called white adipose tissue, is the kind of fat that surrounds our organs and is linked to heart disease and diabetes. Fucoxanthin also appears to stimulate the production of DHA, one of the omega-3 fatty acids 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. If it does prove to be effective, fucoxanthin could be developed into a diet pill for obesity.

Diabetes
Fucoxanthin has also been found in animal studies to decrease insulin and blood glucose levels. Researchers hypothesize that fucoxanthin anti-diabetes 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.

All the minerals are 10-20 times the organic density of any known land plant. Vitamin D is synthesized naturally in the tissues of our sea plants, just as it is in human skin. Seaweed is the only plant that does this in any appreciable amount.

Sea plants can literally change your health. Sea vegetation has been acknowledged as a detoxifier, a balanced source of nutrients and many people believe sea vegetation works as a miraculous healing agent. Ocean algae is the richest natural source of minerals, trace minerals and rare earth minerals.

Ocean Treasure feeds your cells with the most nutritionally potent and mineral-rich family plants on Earth. Since humans can not directly consume the rays of the sun and the nutrients of the sea, we rely on ocean plants that concentrate the energy from these two powerful sources through the miracle of photosynthesis.
