What is fucoidan good for?
Fucoidan is a complex polysaccharide found in many species of brown seaweed. It has been shown to slow blood clotting. Laboratory studies suggest that it can prevent the growth of cancer cells and has antiviral, neuroprotective, and immune-modulating effects.
What is Maritech?
Maritech 926 is a sustainably harvested, fucoidan-rich extract derived from the Undaria pinnatifida species of seaweed. Unlike many fucoidan extracts, Maritech 926 is hand-harvested from pristine waters and processed in a manner that minimizes heavy metals, iodine, toxins, and other undesirable substances.
How do you extract fucoidan from seaweed?
In general, extraction of sulphated polysaccharides from seaweed is usually performed by using hot water, dilute acid, or dilute alkali. But all of these methodologies involve long extraction time and high volume of diluents [12-16].
Is fucoidan good for kidney?
Studies have shown that fucoidan has curative effects on the chronic renal failure, acute kidney injury, and diabetic nephropathy both in vitro and in vivo.
How much fucoidan is in seaweed?
These fucoidans make up 25–30% of seaweed dry weight. They can be extracted with hot water, acid, or alkali. The first demonstration of extraction of fucoidan was carried out by Kylin in 1913 from Laminaria and Fucus species. In 1915, a sodium carbonate soaking step and the addition of HCl was used to isolate fucoidan.
How do you extract fucoidan?
The extraction of fucoidan is typically performed by treating the algal raw material with hot aqueous or acidic solutions at temperatures ranging from 70–100 °C for several hours [19]. To increase the amount of extracted fucoidan, the pH can be adjusted.
How safe is fucoidan?
Fucoidan supplementation is safe and showed no evidence of adverse events in clinical studies in healthy adults and cancer patients at high doses up to 4 grams per day [6; 7].
Which fucoidan is the best?
The best fucoidan comes from the brown algae mozuku (Cladosiphon okamuranus) and wakame-Mekabu (Undaria pinnatifida). NatureMedic® fucoidan contains fucoidan from Mozuku and Wakame (Mekabu spores) with a concentration higher than 85%. Quality: Select Uncontaminated, Radiation & Heavy Metals Free Fucoidan brands.
Does fucoidan help with hair growth?
Research shows that fucoidan can stimulate the effects of hepatocyte growth factor – a protein commonly known as ‘scatter factor’ – that is connected to the hair cycle. An animal study also showed that a mixture of seaweed extracts was as effective for hair growth promotion as the pharmaceutical Minoxodil.
Where does fucoidan in Maritech 926 come from?
Maritech® 926 fucoidan is sourced from hand-harvested, wild seaweed from the pristine ocean waters of Patagonia. An innovative water extraction process ensures fucoidan’s delicate molecular structure is delivered intact to provide the critical nutritional benefit of Undaria pinnatifida, the species of seaweed used in many studies of fucoidan.
Where does Maritech pinnatifida extract come from?
Maritech® Undaria pinnatifida extract is a highly characterised, certified organic fucoidan ingredient sourced from wild Undaria pinnatifida seaweed. This seaweed (commonly known as wakame or mekabu) grows in the pristine ocean waters of Patagonia and Tasmania, where it is hand-harvested on an environmentally sustainable basis.
Is there a vegetarian version of fucoidan capsules?
A single vegetarian capsule equals the amount of fucoidan typically consumed daily in the traditional Japanese diet. Maritech® 926 fucoidan is sourced from hand-harvested, wild seaweed from the pristine ocean waters of Patagonia.
