- Product Highlights
- Fucoxanthin provides excellent anti-oxidative benefits like many other carotenoids, but its true value goes far beyond. The consumption of algae has always been considered one of the reasons for the superior-good health and longevity of certain Asian groups. Recent research institutes from around the world have identified fucoxanthin as a major contributor to the Japanese diet’s health benefits.
- Algatech’s FucoVital™, the first fucoxanthin derived from microalgae is cultivated year-round in an industrial closed and controlled system, fully exposed to natural sunlight. Algatech has used its pioneering knowledge and expertise developed over the past 20 years to create a proprietary, sustainable fucoxanthin cultivation method, and technology. We rely on power generated in a solar panel farm and our own water recycling platform.
- Our microalgae cultivation displaces no crops, utilizes carbon dioxide, and creates only oxygen as waste. It is a genuine ecological crop.
- Fucoxanthin is a safe ingredient that has been sold in the U.S. and Asia as a dietary supplement for many years, primarily as concentrates or extracts of seaweed such as Macrocystis, Laminaria and Undaria.
- Product Benefits
Studies have shown fucoxanthin to provide a variety of health benefits in the following areas:
- Metabolic syndrome
- Supporting healthy glucose
- Inflammatory responses
- Most importantly supporting liver health
Compared to seaweed-derived products, FucoVital™’s proprietary composition has proven to have high potency in testing conducted at a leading research center, and we are committed to supporting further scientific exploration of this unique natural wonder.
