Best Fucoidan 70% contains the gluconutrient fucoidan derived from brown algae. Seaweeds are a part of the diet in many cultures and fucoidan-containing species have been used traditionally for a variety of therapeutic purposes. Fucoidan contains an abundance of immune-modulating constituents known as polysaccharides. These unique and complex sulphated polysaccharides are not found in other seaweeds or land plants, and have been shown to mediate a variety of significant biological effects on mammalian cells in laboratory research. Research also suggests that fucoidan may possess significant antioxidant activity.
Enhances Immune System Function
Cell walls from marine algae contain an abundance of sulfated polysaccharides. Fucoidan is one class of these polysaccharides found in brown algae. Polysaccharides are known to have various effects on immune enhancement and possess other biological activities.
Researchers studying fucoidan fractions from algae have tested their ability to enhance immune function in various in vitro assays. In one such study, isolated fucoidan fractions from a water-soluble extract of Fucus vesiculosus as well as commercial sources of fucoidan were shown to enhance resistance and support an immune response by impacting enzyme-mediated replication activity in the cells studied in this assay.
Research also suggests that fucoidan may support a healthy cytokine-based immune response and affect immune function at the level of immunomodulatory enzymes. This work was done in the laboratory in human tissue sections. Enzymatic action was shown to be inhibited in these connective tissue sections with the addition of fucoidan fractions, suggesting support of healthy connective tissue by fucoidan.
Potent Antioxidant Protection
The potential antioxidative activities of enzymatic extracts from brown seaweeds have also been demonstrated using various reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging assays. The assays used in one particular study included the DPPH, superoxide anion, hydroxyl radical and hydrogen peroxide scavenging assays. The extracts tested showed especially high free radical scavenging activity on the hydrogen peroxide scavenging assay and demonstrated strong protective effects against DNA damage. Some of the extracts tested also demonstrated high superoxide anion scavenging ability, when compared to commercial antioxidant controls such as alpha-tocopherol, BHT and BHA.
With the dual actions of supporting and balancing immune health and possessing free radical scavenging properties, Best Fucoidan 70% extract may be a highly effective supplemental nutrient for maintaining optimal health and wellness.

This active ingredient is really effective in preventing the allergic reaction to grasses. His constant intake avoided taking an antihistamine a day during the spring-summer period, as we did before using it.
