Benefits
Clinical studies have shown that fucoidan can:

• Help to decrease cholesterol levels — resulting from the way that enzymes breakdown fatty acids in the liver
• Diabetes control — by slowing down the release of glucose into the blood
• Lower blood pressure
• Improve liver function
• Improve immunity — from increasing the production of immune cells or natural killer cells (NK cells)
• Reduce stomach disorders
• Skin rejuvenation — by increasing the production of integrin, a protein that helps in skin repair and firmness
• Increase cell regeneration
• Relieve allergies — because of the increase of NK cells
• Relieve arthritis — by promoting the production of fibronetin which plays an important part in keeping joints flexible and lubricated
• Herpes remedy — because of fucoidan's antiviral properties
• Helps to fight the formation of cancer cells — through a process called apoptosis (cell self-destructing)
