Various studies suggest the polysaccharide can boost the immune defense mechanisms, for instance by increasing antibody production after vaccination. Other studies show it possess anti-inflammatory properties, which may help prevent infections due to inherent antiviral properties. Some researchers believe that fucoidan may be partly responsible for the extraordinary longevity observed in the Japanese population of Okinawa.
Fucoidan (sulfated alpha-L-fucan) is a complex polysaccharide found primarily in the cell walls of the brown seaweed (kombu, limu moui, wakame, hijiki). The supplement is rich in fucose, which is one of only eight known bioactive sugars essential for cell to cell communication.
Several types of marine algae polysaccharides exist, such as fucoidan, laminarin, ulvan, carrageenan, agar, and alginate. However, fucoidan remains the most expensive, the by far most studied, and the most valued for its health benefits.
Function
- Immune System. The ability of fucoidan to stimulate the production of white blood cells – the body’s primary defense against infections and pathogens – is a key factor in its immune-boosting properties. It also enhances the activity of macrophages, which are specialized immune cells that engulf and destroy harmful microbes. This dual action strengthens the body’s defenses against various infections and illnesses.
- Heart Function. The potential of premium fucoidan to reduce blood pressure, cholesterol levels, and platelet aggregation makes it a valuable ally for the heart. By lowering blood pressure, fucoidan reduces the workload on the heart, which may reduce the risk of hypertension and stroke. Moreover, the ability to lower cholesterol levels may help alleviate the buildup of plaque in arteries that can lead to heart issues.
- Anti-inflammatory. The anti-inflammatory properties of fucoidan stem from its ability to inhibit the production of certain inflammatory molecules called cytokines. This action may help reduce inflammation associated with various conditions, e.g. allergies and autoimmune issues. It may also help protect cells from damage caused by excessive inflammation, potentially slowing the progression of chronic conditions.
- Antitumor Potential. Several studies have indicated that fucoidan has antitumor properties. For instance, a study in overweight and obese adults found it could decrease blood pressure and “bad” cholesterol levels when used over a sustained period. Laboratory studies also suggest that fucoidan extract powder has anticoagulant and antithrombotic properties.
Suggested use
The suggested daily amount varies widely, but it is generally between 200 mg to 4,000 mg 1 – 2 daily. This corresponds to 1/2 a scoop to 10 scoops a day. Please note that the substance may interfere with blood-thinning medications, as it has a similar effect.
