Becarre Natural Fucoxanthin [U-HPLC] is a carotenoid (non-provitamin A type) present in several brown algae, in particular wakame (Undaria pinnatífida, seaweed used in Japanese cuisine) or Laminaria japonica. As with Rhodiola, Nektium has developed specific partnerships for the supply of a quality raw material (notably compliance with heavy metals and other contaminants, as well as iodine and arsenic). Nektium produces as standard the 1% and 5% fucoxanthin grades analyzed by HPLC (oil), and the 10% UV grade (UV method developed and validated to confirm that it is indeed the fucoxanthin that is measured).

Becarre Natural Pomegranate P40P has a long history of use in supporting health. The scientific community is currently evaluating the possible effects of supplementing the diet with pomegranate (extracts, juices).

Early clinical investigations have revealed promising results in cardiovascular and oncologic disease but more data are needed to fully evaluate its health benefits. Randomized controlled trials are currently being conducted or assessed.
