Using the essence of the ocean to create a miracle of life -- a comprehensive view of fucoidan
Efficacy of fucoidan
Brown algae generally grow in the intertidal zone of Bedrock Coast, and their living environment is relatively bad. The rise and fall of tide makes brown algae constantly in the environment surrounded by seawater and exposed to the sun. When the tide goes out, brown algae will secrete fucoidan from cells in order to protect the algae body, which has a strong water locking and moisturizing effect, so as to ensure a humid environment on the surface of algae and resist the harsh external environment, Protect algae.
Japan is the world's longest life expectancy, with an average life expectancy of 83.4 years. Incidence rate of chronic diseases is also among the lowest in Japan. According to the analysis of nutritionists, one of the most important reasons for Japanese health may be related to the habit of eating seaweed food. The average daily intake of seaweed food by Japanese people is 5.5G. Kelp is called "longevity food" in Japan. People in Okinawa and other areas of Japan often eat kelp, seaweed and other seafood. The consumption of kelp is the first in Japan, and the intake is about twice higher than that in other counties. Okinawa has also become a famous longevity county. Fucoidan is an active substance with a variety of physiological effects in brown algae such as kelp. Although it was discovered by Professor kylin in 1913, it did not attract extensive attention in the academic community and triggered a research upsurge until the report "fucoidan can induce cancer cell apoptosis" was published at the 55th conference of the Japanese cancer society in 1996.
At present, the medical community is studying various biological functions of fucoidan, and has published thousands of papers in international medical journals. It is confirmed that fucoidan has a variety of biological functions, such as anti-tumor, improving gastrointestinal tract, antioxidant, enhancing immunity, antithrombotic, hypotensive, antiviral and so on.
