Fucoidan is a sulfated polysaccharide, fucose-rich polymer found mainly in various species of brown seaweeds such as Mozuku, Wakame, Kombu, Hijiki and Bladderwrack. 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. According to many researches, Fucoidan is reported to support boosting immune system and antioxidative properties.
According to scientific research, different types of fucoidan have different benefits of health characteristics. Fucoidan extracted from Mozuku has shown to effect of inducing apoptosis of abnormal cells, and that from Mekabu has shown to support the 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 allow better and more positive health benefits.
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. It has shown to effect of inducing apoptosis of abnormal cells.
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. It has shown to support the immune system.
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. It is recognized for its excellent immune enhancement properties and antioxidative properties.
Phaeodactylum tricornutum
The precious microalgae Phaeodactylum tricornutum is cultivated carefully by our technical team in Hong Kong greenhouse. The active ingredients fucoidan and fucoxanthin in it are retained accurately through our unique extraction technology. The chance of getting disease is reduced by fucoidan and fucoxanthin by stimulating various anti-aging activities and protecting cells from oxidation.
褐藻糖膠是一種硫酸化多糖,主要存在於不同的褐色海藻中,如海蘊、裙帶菜、海帶和羊棲菜(不同形式的褐藻糖膠也存在於動物中,包括海參)。 褐藻糖膠是一種可溶性膳食纖維,從化學結構上,褐藻糖膠含有顯著的L-岩藻糖、硫酸酯基、半乳糖、甘露糖、木糖和糖醛酸等多醣分子 。褐藻糖膠具有獨特的分子結構,因而成為了一種獨特及有效的天然健康成分。根據很多研究顯示,褐藻糖膠能有效增強免疫系統,並具有抗氧化活性。
根據很多研究顯示,不同種類的褐藻糖膠擁有不同的保健特性,海蘊褐藻糖膠具有誘導壞細胞凋亡功效,裙帶菜孢子葉褐藻糖膠具有抑制壞細胞血管形成的效果,墨角藻褐藻糖膠除了可以增強免疫系統外,更具有優秀的抗氧化活性。因此,結合多種不同種類的褐藻糖膠,可讓人體得到更好和更正面的各種健康效益。
海蘊 (Cladosiphon okamuranus)
海蘊褐藻糖膠中最有名的是從日本沖繩海蘊中提取的褐藻糖膠,約1公斤的新鮮沖繩海蘊只能提取1克左右的褐藻糖膠,具有誘導壞細胞凋亡功效。
裙帶菜孢子葉 (Undaria pinnatifida)
於澳洲的塔斯馬尼亞海域是全球生產最好的裙帶菜孢子葉褐藻糖膠,因而著名,裙帶菜孢子葉是靠近裙帶菜根部的皺褶狀位置,含有豐富的褐藻糖膠成分,其特點是含有超過34%的硫酸基,具有優良的抑制壞細胞血管形成的效果。
墨角藻 (Fucus vesiculosus)
墨角藻主要是在北海東部、大西洋和太平洋的海濱的一種海藻,從墨角藻中提取的褐藻糖膠有著悠久的歷史。具有阻止變異細胞形成、抗炎症、抗氧化、舒緩關節疼痛和提高免疫力的效果。
三角褐指藻 (Phaeodactylum tricornutum)
由香港溫室精心培植的三角褐指藻,當中的微褐藻糖膠及岩藻黄素,由香港科研團隊多年悉心研發,獨有萃取技術精確保留其活性成份,刺激各種抗頑活性,保護細胞減少病變機率。
