It was identified in the first half of the last century by Professor Johann Harald Kylin of Uppsala University in Sweden in 1913. Fucoidan is a type of soluble dietary fiber. Chemically, Fucoidan is a polysaccharide containing substantial percentages of L-fucose , sulfate ester groups , galactose, mannose, xylose and uronic acid. Therefore, Fucoidan has a unique molecular structure, which makes it a unique and effective natural health ingredient. The yield of a crude first fraction of Fucoidan is generally 2–10% by weight, although Cladosiphon(Mozuku) species may yield over 20% by dry weight. The intensity of biological activities of Fucoidan varies with species, molecular weight, composition, structure and the route of administration. Please make sure you consume the proper Fucoidan extract because each one of them have different applications and health benefits.Different types of FucoidanFucoidan is a polysaccharide extracted from brown seaweeds that is composed of several monosaccharides including fucose, xylose, galactose, sulfate ester groups and uronic acid. In more detail, depending on the type of brown seaweed, each Fucoidan has its own unique chemical structure. Due to the differences between each Fucoidan’s chemical structure, the function or effectiveness will vary depending on which brown seaweed it is extracted from. According to many researches, Fucoidan extracted from Mozuku and Mekabu is reported to support boosting immune system; Fucoidan extracted from Fucus is recognized for its excellent immune enhancement properties and antioxidative properties. Therefore, in general, a product containing a mixture of various types of Fucoidan will show more positive effects. Mozuku (Cladosiphon okamuranus)The Fucoidan extracted from Okinawa Mozuku is the most popular type of fucoidan. 1 kg of Mozuku is required in order to obtain 1 gram of fucoidan.Mekabu (Undaria pinnatifida)Mekabu is the ruffled, flowering sprout located at the base of the Wakame. One of the uniqueness of Mekabu Fucoidan is that it contains more than 34% of sulfated groups.Bladderwrack (Fucus vesiculosus)Fucus Fucoidan has a long-history. The Fucoidan is extracted from Bladderwrack which is a seaweed found on the coasts of the North Sea, the western Baltic Sea, and the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Fucus named after Fucus vesiculosus contained in Bladderwrack.Kombu (Laminaria japonica)Kombu was the first species used to extract Fucoidan. However, it contains a relatively small amount of fucoidan and it is very expensive to obtain, therefore, not economical to mass-produce this raw material. NatureMedic® Fucoidan is the best product that utilizes Japan’s Okinawa Mozuku Fucoidan and Mekabu Fucoidan with approximately 85% purity. The Mekabu Fucoidan is Certified Organic from Australia. It is also suggested that if you are unsure of what you are buying, you could consider requesting a copy of their Certificate of Analysis to verify that the Fucoidan being claimed is the same as the one being analyzed. Characteristics of GOOD Fucoidan SupplementsWhen we examine the Fucoidan products that are available in the market, it is rather difficult to know which one to choose or what specifications to look for before purchasing. Price is different for all of the brands and the explanation given is very limited. Even many of Supplement Facts do not truly specify the Fucoidan purity and concentration. Under this circumstance, how can we choose the right Fucoidan supplement? Here are tips to find a good Fucoidan product.1. Fucoidan’s purity level needs to be adequate.There are products that claim to contain 60%, 80% or 100% pure Fucoidan. What do these percentages mean? Well, it depends. Sometimes they just claim that it is 100% natural and other times that it contains 80% Fucoidan per weight and not precisely based on purity. Until now, there is no official definition for Fucoidan. Fucoidan does not refer to a single molecule or compound. Instead, it refers to the many compounds (sugars) that are bonded together and sulfated to form the Fucoidan polysaccharide complex. The main components in Fucoidan include the monosaccharides, fucose, galactose, xylose, mannose, uronic acid, glucuronic acid and sulfated groups. Still, there is no official method established to measure the total Fucoidan content. Thus, each company that produces their own Fucoidan brand can claim their purity based on their own standards. So far, the best suggested method to calculate the Fucoidan amount is by combining the percent of the total carbohydrates, sulfate, cations and acetylation. 2. Fucoidan content has to be high.Even when a product contains 85% Fucoidan, it is necessary to check the actual grams of the Fucoidan that is included in each serving size. For example, even when a product utilizes 85% Fucoidan, it is not possible to refer that product as a good Fucoidan product if the content of a capsule is very low. 3. Are the supplements that contain Fucoidan from one type of brown seaweed considered good products?This is not necessarily true. From what is known until now, the molecular structure and activity of Fucoidan varies depending on the type of brown algae used to extract it. Meanwhile, the Fucoidan extracted from different species has different functions. For instance, there is a significant amount of sulfated groups in Fucoidan from Mekabu (Wakame). Results of numerous experiments and studies demonstrated that although this type of Mekabu Fucoidan offers effects that help to enhance health, other Fucoidan extracts such as Mozuku Fucoidan offers other type of positive health benefits. The results from the studies conducted to this day seem to indicate that the unique and complex combination structure of each of the Fucoidan engage through a synergistic interaction. Likewise, products that are combined with Mekabu Fucoidan and Mozuku Fucoidan just like ones in NatureMedic® Fucoidan are known to help enhance your health in a relatively broader and positively way. 4. Can a product be considered a good product just because it contains Fucoidan?Fucoidan is a great ingredient that help support Quality of Life, and it has been supported by numerous researches and papers as well as by many people who experienced Fucoidan. However, there are some who feel as if something is lacking in Fucoidan-only formulation, and there also have been many requests for an advanced formulation by adding other great ingredients to Fucoidan. Among premium ingredients, a compound like AHCC that has many data on the clinical studies administered on actual people can be an option to be added to Fucoidan. Even though AHCC is the same polysaccharide as Fucoidan, it has health related benefits that are not offered by Fucoidan. By mixing Fucoidan with an ingredient such as AHCC that can supplement Fucoidan, the formulation could provide benefits of both Fucoidan and AHCC together which could be better than Fucoidan-only product. Why should Fucoidan be powered with AHCC®?A few years ago, while handling other Fucoidan products and serving numerous customers, this question came up: WHY IS FUCOIDAN EFFECTIVE FOR SOME CUSTOMERS BUT NOT OTHERS? There are many reasons. Some customers were consuming Fucoidan constantly but some might not. There were some customers who trusted the product deeply and others who did not. Even some customers were not consuming sufficient amounts of Fucoidan, but also those who consumed only a small amount because it was hard to afford it. However, these reasons alone are not enough to explain why it did not work. Later, while studying Fucoidan’s health benefits and limitations, we learned about AHCC®, a substance that was developed about 30 years ago. It is an acetylated alpha-glucan produced by liquid-culturing basidiomycetes mushroom mycelia for long periods of time in a sterile facility and by the reaction of enzymes. AHCC® and other substances that complement FucoidanAHCC® is known to be a substance that complements the limitations of Fucoidan. Its functionality has been studied and published in the world’s best universities and institutions. It has shown to provide amazing health benefits. Meanwhile, NatureMedic® Fucoidan powered with AHCC® not only has Fucoidan and AHCC®, it also contains other ingredients to support the formulation. During the last few years, we learned and researched more about the ingredients that can go along with Fucoidan. Mixing AHCC® as the primary partner with Fucoidan, we also included other ingredients in our NatureMedic® Fucoidan like Agaricus blazei Murill mushroom mycelia extract and brewer’s yeast originally from Japan to make the formulation healthier. NatureMedic® Fucoidan powered with AHCC® was formulated for the customers who are not satisfied with the other Fucoidan supplements and also for those who believe in high-quality premium brands that are supporting Quality of Life.
